Blog Post #4: 150 Word Summary

The book I am reading is, "Deadline"  by Chris Crutcher. I have been introduced to Ben Wolf, Cody Wolf, Dallas Suzuki, Ben's dad, and Ben's mom. Ben was diagnosed with a diesease that will kill him by the end of his senior year. He doesn't want to tell anyone, and threatends his doctor if he tries to tell his parents. Ben didn't really care if he died, he said that even as a little kid, he never pictured himself making it long enough to have a life. He decided to try out for football because he had always wanted to, but was too scared. I read about the homecoming football game. They put Ben in to be the wide reciever, and he made the biggest play in history. He was getting special treatment at the Homecoming dance, and even had a date with his life long crush, Dallas Suzuki. He is finally getting his head wrapped around the fact that he is going to die, but now he really doesn't want to. The fact that he is coming to a realization is a very big part of the story.
