Author's Note~ This is an analysis piece on Under the Baseball Moon by John H. Ritter. I am trying to score a 10 in body paragraphs by incorporating quotes from the book.
One great trumpeter, and one great softball player. That describes the stories of Andy and Glory
in Under the Baseball Moon, by John
H. Ritter. In this story it shows the
dependence of Glory and Andy’s relationship together. Ritter was able to show the reader that they
should always have one person to lean on and to be dependent on someone.
In my life I am dependent on many people, including my
parents and my grandparents. Either in a
financial or support way I always have them to depend on. In live it is always good to have someone to
help pick you up or help you out. In the
book Whenever Glory had a bad game Andy was able to pick her up and make her feel
better and improve.
Having someone to depend on is often something you see in
sports when teammates pick each other up to play better. Or in golf when caddies encourage their
player that even though they hit a bad shot that they can rebound on the next. During the story you were able to tell that
there was definitely points where Glory tried to pick up Andy to help him play
trumpet and vice versa. This quote says it all. “Good, because I will totally
lift you up, I promise.” Pg. 218
People picking you up or motivating you happens all the time
in life. Like in the story A Prayer for Owen Meany, by John
Irving. In this book you were able to emphasize how much of
an impact Owen and John had on each other.
Just like with Andy and Glory’s case all the characters were able to
have someone to rely on when they needed it most.
As you think about how often you rely on people in life you
can also tell that people in books also do a lot of relying on each other. In life dependence is one of the thing that
people need to live life successfully.
Learning to have someone to depend on and lean on when you’re in trouble
is one of the thins Ritter told you in Under
the Baseball Moon.
