Theme
The theme of
most of Mike Lupica's
books I read are probably a
theme relating to dad
problems because they all
revolve around a problem
with their dad. So the theme
of all 3 of these books is
Family problems, but Hero's
theme would be Good Vs Evil.
I think that because you
can not tell who's good and
evil through out the story.
Figurative language
You probably will not find much
figurative language in Mike Lupica's
books that's not onomatopoeia or
simile. For example, you will
probably find: The bat hit the ball
with a "Crack!", or: The basketball
game was as fast as a timer set
to 20 seconds.
In this assignment I made
a story using words from the
books I read.
Michael was on The Big Field with
Kate while Herbert was the Pitcher.
Mike Lupica had Manny be Shortstop.
Herbert started to throw Heat. Then
like a Hero, Ellie hit a home run off of
him. Darryl was in center field, and
tossed the ball to second (Cody). Cody
threw it to the catcher, but not in time
Zach and Ellie scored 2 points.

Heat
Heat is about a boy named Michael who moved from
Cuba to New York City. Michael has a 17 year old
brother named Carlos, and a dad named Papi. Papi
worked as a taxi driver and later died defending a
woman. Papi requested to Mrs. C, their apartment
neighbor, to keep his death a secret in order to keep
Carlos and Michael together. So Michael and Carlos
have to avoid or accomplish many problems, such as
trying to find a lost birth certificate in order for
Michael to play baseball.

Most of Mike Lupica's
books are realistic fiction, and
are sports books. "Hero", one

Otherwise they're mostly realistic
fiction.
