Blog:6 GYM CANDY-Carl Deuker

Thursday October 21,2010

On the Internet, read a biography about the author of your IRB.  How do you see the traditions, heritage, attitudes, or beliefs (pick one) of the author in your book?

In the book GYM CANDY by Carl Deuker i can see his attitude he uses in the book from his life. In GYM CANDY the main character Mick never gave up. Mick knew he wasnt the best player in his football league but he stood stronger and never gave up. On the other hand in Carl Deuker's childhood he joined a few different teams but often

did more sitting on the bench than playing. Once he was in college he played on intramural teams. The author Carl Deuker and the main character Mick Johnson have the same attitude about sports in common which is not to give up weather your the best player or not.
