Lit analysis #3

Rise & Walk by Dennis Byrd


  1. This book is about the life of Dennis who went from experiencing his first tackle as a junior in high school to his last play in pads almost leaving him to never walk again. His story shows the limits a man can go through faith alone.
  2. He chose to write about his life to show people the power of faith. He was faced with impossible odds to walk again but threw faith he overcame.
  3. I chose this book because it was about football, I had no idea that it was about a man who broke his neck playing the game he loved. He goes into detail on how he became a star and what he expiernce at the hospital.
  4. Ya this was realistic because my family had told stories how god had told them to be strong through all the rough times in life. He expressed hard work in life and never giving up

People
  1. The author's tone persistence, that keep working and you can achieve your goals. Every person that the author mentions in his book seems to be people who he considers family. This is true for he forms a strong bond with one of his jet roommates to a brotherly like love.
  2. Marvin Washington took a little while to get use to Dennis but they ended up being brothers in bond. He quiet but a true friend.  In fiction he might be a companion.Jeff Lageman was the complete opposite if Dennis, in fiction he might be considered the antagonist. But they were great friends.
