O.S.R.B. number 4

For my last time saying this but the book I am reading is called GYM CANDY.
The reason why Mick failed to kill himself with a gun is because every time he would shoot the gun his hand would jerk up. So when he had the gun to the side of his head his hand jerked and the bullet skinned the side of his head. So Drew drove Mick to the hospital. When Mick woke up his mom and dad were in the room sleeping. When they woke up they started to talk to each other.
They told Mick that a police officer is going to come in and ask his some questions. So when the officer came they talked for a while. Then about 2 days in the hospital he was checked out and then about a day later he was checked in to rehab for 2 weeks.
When they got to rehab and after a little while Mick’s mentor man came out to get him. As Mick and the other dude were walking to the door to the rehab place the mom said wait and ran to the car. She was gone for about a minute. When she got back she gave Mick a bible to read when he is feeling sad.
That is the book GYM CANDY for you.

O.S.R.B. number 3


Once again my book is called GYM CANDY.
When the trainer came back he asked Mick to come into the backroom with him. On the meeting table there was pills. A little like steroids just not as effective. But has the same effects like strength and things that you do not want to happen but they will happen.
So when Mick was lifting with the steroids he felt and saw the difference in about 2 weeks. Mick was happy, but it wouldn’t be enough to beat the other team’s defense. So Mick went in to Popeye’s every Tuesdays Thursday and Saturdays and trained with Peter his trainer.
Then when the season came around and Mick was still on Steroids every game he broke the school record. Then about half way through the season he stopped using steroids but he didn’t tell the difference. But the truth was that instead of getting a first down every time he got the ball he would get three or sometimes four yards a carry.
Then in the quarter final Mick got thrown out of the game for charging at a player on the other team after he made Mick fumble the ball when he wasn’t paying attention. But they won the championship game against the team that they lost to last year. So then Mick’s friends Drew who was the quarterback got injured he went to the locker room and look through Mick’s stuff. He found and took all the needles and stuff so Mick couldn’t use them anymore.

When Mick found out he wasn't that happy. So after he got a call from Drew he picked him up in his car and they drove around. Then they stopped in a parking lot of a park. They both got out of the car and started talking again. Then out of no where Mick pulled out a gun and shot himself. But he didn't die.

O.S.R.B. number dos

Again my book is called GYM CANDY by Carl Deuker.
So it was about maybe the second or third week of the spring practices when Mick and his two friends made it to the second in the depth chart. Mick’s two friends played quarterback and wide receiver. One day when the team was in the weight room the starter running back came into the weight room and called Mick out. They had a bench off at 180 pounds. Mick could hardly do 5 reps. Then Darger (starting running back) do 20 reps. But everyone knew he could have done more. Then Darger stood up and asked Mick if he could still beat him? But instead of saying something he took a swing at Darger’s head. But it seemed like he expected it. He ducked and Clark the starting quarterback put Mick’s arms behind Mick’s body and Darger started to punch Mick. Then they stopped and left.
For a while Mick was mad at his two friends because they didn’t help Mick. So after the fight Mick went to his dad asking if he could still get a free membership to Popeye’s still. His dad said yes. So they went one day. Mick met his trainer and they started to weight lift. Then about two weeks after training Mick asked the trainer about steroids. The trainer said he would be right back.

O.S.R.B. number one

The book that I am reading is called GYM CANDY. At the beginning of the book Mick’s dad made Mick start school one year late because he wanted Mick to have an upper hand on the team so he would be bigger faster and stronger than all the other running backs on the team. Mick’s second year playing tackle football there was a new coach. The coach didn’t like Mick’s dad that much because Mick’s dad made the coach look like a fool because Mick’s dad played running back ran over the coach who played on the other team and ran him over to score the winning touchdown.
So during practice he would make Mick be the model and do everything the coach wanted him to do and he would make Mick be the tackling dummy sometimes. One day after practice when his dad picked him up Mick said he wanted to quite football. But the dad said that he shouldn’t because you will have coaches that yell and make you do things you do not want to do so just get use to it. Then when Mick was a freshmen in high school after his football season ended he got a call from the Varsity coach asking if he wanted to practice but not garneted to be playing on the team. Mick said yes and he and two of his friends went to practice in the spring not knowing what will happen.

Outside Reading book summary again

I am going to be talking about my book again. Sorry in advance if I talk about the same thing.
The book once again is called Gym Candy. At the beginning of the book you see Mick and his dad in their backyard. His dad painted the grass white lines for it made a mini football field. Mick had to try to get around his dad (who is on his knees) and score a touchdown. I think it was about the second week after attempting but failing he finally got past his dad with a wicked juke. But one day Mick’s dad told him something that he will never forget. That there is no crying in the football. Mick’s dad made him start school late so he had an upper hand on being a starter on the football team. The reason is so that Mick would be bigger, faster, and stronger then everyone else who was on the team. Mick wasn’t really that happy at first because everyone knew that Mick was a year older than everyone so he had an upper hand on everyone.
When Mick was practicing with the varsity team his dad told him to be always be by the person who is higher than him in the depth charts so the coaches can see that he was a good player. So by the end of the second week he went from sixth of the depth chart to the number second stop.
Once again sorry if I talked about something I have already talked about.

OUTSIDE READING BOOK (highlight to read)

The book that I have read for outside reading is the book GYM CANDY. I have already finished the book because my parents made me get a book and read it. The book is about a boy who plays football for a Washington High School. The Mick’s (the main dude) father was a really good running back. He was Mr. Football in his high school. Went to USC and played running back, and then got drafted by the Chargers. But he didn’t play any games. The reason he told his son is that he sprained his ankle then came back to early and sprained it again and he couldn’t really play that hard anymore so they laid him off. But the real reason is because he was mean to the players and coaches, he got many DWI’s and he was always late to the team meetings.
So in 9th grade Mick was called up to play on Varsity. He wasn’t the biggest running back out on field but he was the fastest. Then during the next couple weeks he moved from the bottom of the depth charts to the second. But he was starting for all the special teams. Then one day the starter of the team got caught drinking and he was kicked off the team. So in the Championship game Mick was playing. They lost by six points and Mick was six inches away from the goal line.
He and his friends were saying that the man who stopped him was on the juice. So Mick wanted to get bigger so he started to lift weights. But he was thinking that he wasn’t going anywhere. So when he was at the club working out with his personal trainer Mick asked him about getting on the juice and he gave him some.
Then in the next season there was another dude who was playing running back who was pretty good. But Mick was better because he was a lot stronger and quicker. Every game when Mick was on the juice he broke a High School record. He got them to the Championship game again. But once again he got hit at the six inch line by the same dude. But instead of falling backwards Mick kept on moving his legs and knocked the player in to the end zone. They won the game.
But when he was on the juice Mick was feeling really depressed. So he picked up a friend who was on the Varsity team and brought him to a pond because he knew about Mick using the juice. Mick brought his dad’s gun, and when the friend was walking away Mick took it out and pointed at the friend. Then stopped and pointed it himself. Mick shot the gun and the bullet skinned his head. He didn’t die but he went to treatment.
And that is the end of the book.
