The Million dollar Throw

The Million Dollar throw is a bout a boy named Nate. Nate is a football fan, that is a huge fan of the Patriots, especially Tom Brady. So Nate is a football player himself, he is on his middle school football team as the Quarterback.So when he once goes into a comic book store and discoveres a football signed by Tom Brady, he saves up enough money and buys it. As he is walking out of the store he notices a sign and it has something to do with a million dollar throw, this contest is where he goes to a football game, and tries to throw at a certain target that is small, from a certain distance so he signs up for it, but there can only be one person who may do it, and certainly it is him. As he gets home, he discoveres that his family is in debt and they have to sell the house because Nates dad had lost his ob and his mom got two jobs.And then his best friend is in great danger of losing her eye. And so if he gets a million dollars he can pay his family out of debt and giving money for his friend for eye surgery. As the days go by he is always ready to go to the stadium and make that throw. When he gets there he gets to meet his hero, Tom Brady. He finally meets the challenge, but he makes it in like its nothing and the crowd is just amazed. Nate is given the money, and instead of giving the money for his family, he gives it to his friend for eye surgery.

I think that Nate was just stuck on two decisions to make, and i dont think he chose the right one, because now he is going to move out of the house, and maybe even the country and not see his best friend again. He doesnt use it for his shelfish reasons, but he doesnt use it for his family, which is what i would have done if i was in that situation.

  1. I think this was good start for a post. I do feel like there is a little bit too much summary at the beginning. I also feel like you should have elaborated on your thoughts a little more.
