Conflict On The Court

Slam
(pages 1- 53)

I have begun reading and have progressed into the novel some and threw out the first 53 pages of the novel it has became very relevant to me that the main character Greg Harris a.k.a slam is enduring many stressful and conflicting events in his life. Greg Harris is a high school junior that is all about playing basketball it is made clear in the novel that all he really thinks about is playing ball and that he's very good as is evident in his nick name and title of the book slam. The conflict begins when Greg (slam) begins his junior year at a new school that is more advanced than his former high school but as basketball season looms the principal tells him that with his grades he may need to be his number one priority and that he may need to concentrate on school only his conflicts continues to mount as the coach of the team doesn't give him the respect that he felt is need and his grandmother becomes very sick which makes it every more difficult for him to concentrate on school and basketball. Has there ever been a time in your life or someones life that you know were there was something very important to you or that but every time you tried to focus on it bad things kept happening to keep you from focusing on it
