November Blues - READING SKILLS

In my book November Blues, I find that I have a lot in common with the characters. In one chapter when Jericho joins the football team and is not sure if he made the right decision, I can relate that to how I felt with Cross Country. I can alsorelate to him when he says he's feeling really jumbled up inside  and frustrated. When he discribes how exhausted he feels after a practice or how tired he is after sitting in another boring class in Highschool I can relate because I also know how strenous and arduos sports [cross country], and school can be.  I can also relate because he was thinking about applying to a performing arts university Juilliard, and I also did a presentation on Juilliard and I thought about going there too. This was a text to self connection because I know how Jericho feels. All these teen troubles are very relatable and thats what makes it such a fantastic book.
