Geraldo's Team Vs His Old Team example essay topic

The book "come back gizmo" I have recently read, is an adventure comedy book. The setting is in a small ordinary town, and ordinary characters with a normal life. The main characters in the book were Jimmy, Biscut which is the dog and the Mum and Dad. The characters develop; Jimmy and Biscut build a stronger relationship together. Jimmy learns that looks aren't everything. The story is about a boy and a dog, when the dog got pitched up by the pound and was retired home.

The pound man gave him a ball, but it wasn't just any ordinary ball, it was a gizmo. The gizmo turns Jimmy into a dog and Biscut into a human. In the end they turn back normal. Paul Jennings wrote this book. He is well-known children's author.

I thought the book was pretty good. I don't think I would have changed too much from what Paul Jennings wrote. MY STORY There was a boy called Geraldo. He loved to play soccer; he had a hidden talent for soccer.

He just moved to a new town. It was almost soccer season, time for trials. Geraldo trained everyday in his backyard. Soccer season finally came. Geraldo tried out and gave it everything he had, but he didn't have much chance of making the side because this team has kept the same team for 3 years in a row.

Together they had gone undefeated for those 3 years in a row. As usual the team had stayed the same for the 4th consecutive year. Geraldo had the talent but wasn't given the opportunity to express himself just like all of the other kids who tried out for the side. He was named on the reserve bench, which was only the few players who could have a chance of playing if someone got hurt, so Geraldo quit.

He went and joined a different team who gave him a chance. He was on the starting team. The season started and Geraldo was the star of the team, he scored goal after goal. He was so good he even got headlined in the paper. The coach of his old team couldn't believe it. This kid was better than anyone on the other team.

Geraldo's team had won every game so far. It came finals time and had to win their game to make the grand final, and they won. In the grand final it was Geraldo's team vs. his old team who put him on the bench. The game was very close; it was scoreless up until the last 15 minutes when Geraldo was injured. He had to go off. Without him the team was collapsing without him.

They were losing 1-0 with only 2 minutes to go. Geraldo stepped onto the field, the team's spirit rose; they scored two quick goals and won the match. They all went to celebrate, meanwhile the other teams coach learned to give everybody a fair go.
