Characterization: Jeremiah(MC) is a nice person. The reason I think he is nice is because he coaches and he is liked from the other people. In the book he always motivates kids like saying "You got this." Towards the end of the book, Coach Perkins comes to the team and ruins the team. But Jeremiah says to get out and says that he is ruining the teams motivation. Like that he is brave, nice and a hard working person.

Antagonist: The antagonist in my book is Coach Perkins. He is the coach of the Eagles with Jeremiah. He wants to get the team to lose every game to get back the position he always wanted to instead of Jeremiah. On the Epilogue in the book it says " Coach Perkins will stand a trial for second degree murder in Cincinnati." This shows that he is a violent person that Jeremiah has to face.

Static vs Dynamic: Jeremiah is a static character because his goal is to make a baseball team and lead the team to win the championship. He is always nice to the players and he recognizes what the players should do to improve. Alvin is the dynamic character. Page 237 it says," Alvin is doing so much better...hitting better than ever before. The static person is Jeremiah and the dynamic is Alvin.

Predictions: Jeremiah, Walt and Danny are going to a baseball tournament and they are getting ready. Danny is not coming to the practices. I think Danny will not come to the tournament and the team will be panicked. ¨These recent practices Danny has been late¨. This shows that he is not into baseball as much.
