Fighting fear and succeeding!

This book Running Scared is a very exciting book. Larry Hudson is a senior at Marlin State College and is afraid to play football because of getting hurt. Towards the end of the season he wants to quit, but is afraid of what people will call him. I liked the way Larry didn`t quit and got up his strength and did what noone ever thought he would do..... I also like the way Thomas J. Dygard makes it seem like your`re there. This book is aewesome.

Running Scared

Running Scared by james Dygard s an excellent book. The title its self is very ironic. The title makes us think a player is runnign cause hes scared, but in reality hes running from his fear, getting hurt. This irony also ties in with the theme of the book, which is individual control of destiny. Larry Hudson had control of his destiny when he choose to saty with the team and face his fears rather than quitting and running from his fears.
