Unstoppable: Week of 10-15-13

Spoiler Alert
Title: Unstoppable
Author: Tim Green
Pages Read: 93-184
Prompt: List five major events in order from which happened first to last.

     The first major event is that Harrison's first foster father died an an accident and harrison is sent to a juvenile facility. This is an important event because it gets Harrison away from these terrible foster parents. It also introduces him to an important woman named Mrs. Godfrey who introduces Harrison to his next foster parents.
     The second event is that he is taken to live with Mrs.Godfrey's daughter and her husband. This important because they treat him very well and he develops good relationships with them. His foster father who he calls "Coach" introduces him to the football team and get him to play and he is good. They really bond and feel that they are a family. It is cool to see how they grew more together.
     The next major event is Harrison goes to football practice. He lets out all his anger and frustration on the field. This shows the team that he is something more than just another loser. He makes a friend who is always at his side and helps him with anything. Football and his new friend (who's name is Justin) really helps him get through his new life.
     Then the next event is that he does sensational in his first game. He broke through tackles, sent players flying, and ran for over 300 yards. Then the whole school started talking about how amazing he was. Not only the school but the whole community. This really makes him feel like he is part of a team. This makes his confidence and self a steam go up.
     The final event that I found important was that "Jennifer" his foster mother asks Harrison to call him Mom. This is huge because it makes Harrison feel like he is really wanted. He also feels like his life has finally gotten bright. It also brings the whole family together more than they already were. It makes Harrison forget all about his past, which is huge for him.
