The book I have chosen to read is called tears of a tiger. I read the fist 50 pages and it is a very good book so far .I liked how the accident happend earlier in the book and they get to talk to a whole bunch of people about what happened.He went to talk to a counsiller about the accident and how he felt about it. The real accident starts the book off and this guy in my opinion was the coolest guy in the school and the most popular. Everyone use to look up to him , he was a nice guy , and he had a big career in front of him for basketball. It was a bad idea to go drinking and driving . But of course not to them in that time. I really like this book so far it is an easy read super fast and you cant put the book down after you read the first page you read.
If I was ever going to be in this situation , I really dont know what I would do . I would definatly be sad and not in the moment for a while. But to come back as the position that your dead teamate was before . It would be very difficult for me if e was a very good friend. To andy he was his best friend so I dont blame him at all. At least he won the game in dedication of him.In my opinion he does not seem that bothered that his bestfriend died and he thinks he could of stopped it from happening.

Alex,
You are making some good points in this response. It is much easier to read a book when you are not kept waiting for the action. I also like a book that gets started right away.
The part that might be easiest for you to develop more fully would be the consequences of drinking and driving. This guy was the cause of his friend's death. This reminds me of Dany Heatley from the Atlanta Thrashers who killed one of his teammates (Dan Snyder) in a car accident. He was charged with vehicular homocide and was fined and sentenced to public speaking. I am not sure whether alcohol was involved or not but his choice to drive recklessly cost him the life of a friend and teammate. This is a reallife example that can connect with what you are reading.
He returned to the NHL afterwards, but I can't imagine what it would be to face the league when everyone knows what he has done.
You are doing a great job identifying the themes and the big ideas of the things you are reading. You are connecting to them by trying to put yourselves in the shoes of the characters. The next step is to attach to the world outside the story. Let me know if you need a hand with this for your next response.
