In addition, even some of Travis’s teammates did not approve of him playing on the team due to the fact that they feared it would prevent the team from winning and making it to the state championships.

Another thing I liked about this book was that the main character went on an adventure and discovered himself. One thing in this book that worked for me was how Hinton transitioned pieces of the story. A good example of this is in the beginning when Travis was sent away from his mom and stepdad to go live with his uncle. This book is similar to S.E. Hinton’s other stories like “The Outsiders” and “Rumble Fish”. These stories all involve troubled youths living in hard times. Another common theme…

have a deep despise for themselves, they live in sin, they occupy mean streets, but they want to be forgiven and admired I got this from Travis character. Whether Travis gains that status in reality or only in his mind is not the point; throughout the film, his mental state has shaped his reality, and at last, in some way, it has brought him a kind of peace. Travis cannot be called a hero for his sociopath action or at least be seen as heroic in the point of view of iris who he so called is…
