Prompt: •Describe the most important event. Give at least three reasons why you think it

is the most important event.

SPOILER ALERT

     The most important event of the story for me was when Harrison got hurt at his practice. The first reason was because it jeopardized the whole season. They had worked so hard as a team. He had done so well as the running back for their football team. It was the practice right before the championship. He tries to shake it off and ice it but it is constantly bothering him. So he goes in for in MRI.

     The next reason I thought it was the most important event was because he went in for an MRI and they found he had a tumor in his knee. That because he got an MRI it saved his life. The thing is they had to remove his leg from the knee down. This changes everything because now he has to train and exercise and go through chemotherapy just to be able to walk with a fake leg.

     The final reason was because it showed how much his parents now loved him. His Dad asked him to start calling him Dad instead of Coach. His Dad told Harrison that they were going to fully adopt him before any thing is done to take away the tumor in his leg and go through chemotherapy. They had an old friend come to help him exercise and maybe one day play football again. It showed how much dedication and love Harrison's parents had for him. And that was truly what Harrison needed at the time.
