THEME

QUOTE THAT PORTRAYS THE PLOT/ A QUOTE THAT SUPPORTS THE THEME.

The theme of the story i think would be that sports can bring a family together.

• “Baseball, more than any other sport, has a magical way of connecting fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, grandparents and grandchildren and ancestors back down the line.”

Point of view

A quote from the setting could be no matter where you are sports might bring your family together

• I would recommend this book to everyone who is interested in early american sports.
• Also it is a very interesting book all together.
• I would also recommend many others of Alan Gratz books.

"And if i were your son, I would run away to California."

Felix says that and later in the book he ran away to America.

This Story doesn't have a point of view because in each chapter the story is told from father to son.
