Why I love sports

There are so many different reasons to why I love sports, mainly because it’s so great and everybody can participate.

Sports are great because it includes people. Everyone can participate in sports, and you are most likely to find a sport that fits you. There’s something for everyone. You can for example be a skier, a dancer, a sailor, a soccer player etc.

When I say that sports include people, I also mean that it unites people. You meet new people, potential friends, when you participate in sports. It’s very to get to know the people that participate in the same sport as you because you share the same interest, the sport you’re both participating.

Sports are also great because you can make a career out of it. If you’re really good at a specific sport, you can make a huge career out of it. For example, you can be a huge talent in the local football club. One day, a scout comes to your practice. He watches you play, and he gets interested. He then contacts the club he’s scouting for and tells them about you. One day, he comes to your practice, after watching you some more, and gives you an offer. He wants you to play for a better club, and that’s how many great careers’ has started. Take Cristiano Ronaldo as an example. He grew up in Portugal in a very poor family, and he only ate sardines for a long time. But he had talent for the game, and one day a scout came to him and gave him an offer.

As said, there are so many reasons why sports are amazing, but if I would have mentioned everyone, it would probably take days.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

What I like/dislike about the book?

I like the book because it goes deep into Christopher’s mind. He not only saying what he’s doing, he’s also describing what he feels when a certain situation shows up. It makes the book quite interesting, and you get an insight of what’s going on in his head and how he reacts. Sometimes he reacts with screaming or vomiting, sometimes he reacts by doing violent actions, and sometimes he does not react at all. This is what I think makes the book interesting because you understand how a person with Asperger’s syndrome express his/her feelings and how they feel deep down inside. Even though the author hasn’t got Asperger’s, it feels like you’re reading an inside diary of a person with the syndrome. That is what I like about the book.

I dislike the book because sometimes, Christopher writes facts about themes, subjects, books or a movie that interests him. That can make it difficult to keep track of the main story sometimes. He starts talking about quadratic equations and after reading about that for nearly five minutes, you have lost track of the story, and you have to start over by reading the recent 5 pages. By that, you get tired by reading the book because you have to read the pages all over again.

I have split feelings about the book. The main story is very describing and enjoyable, but the fact part makes the story quite difficult to follow.
