The moves make the man by Bruce Brooks
(pages 52 70)
Well its now the end of the summer and Jerome is startin to think about the new school he'll have to be attending due to a new intergration law passed by congress and ofcourse Jerome isn't to happy about this simply because he'll be the ONLY black kid in the school. But theres an upside, Jerome is a very bright student in the classroom and because of that has already met some of the teachers there so he feels it'll be an easier transition he also learns of Basketball tryouts and is ready to go!. Tryouts come around and Jerome is showing off his fancy behind the back passes, reverse layups, no look passes but does not make a good impression with the coach who already has it out for Jerome because hes black. He tells Jerome that his flashy actions will not be tolerated and Basketball is a Five man game not one... I wonder if Jerome will make the team let alone get on the coaches good side

I think Jerome should make the team if he is producing at a good level. Even though he is flashy if he good he is good. But he is in a hole if his coach already dosen't like him because of skin color and he is feeling down because he has to chane schools. But Jerome seems poised for sucess so it seem he can get through the trouble.
This is a very good blog because it makes the person reading it more interested. I hope blog again because i want to know if jerome makes the team and gets on terms with the coach.
