At the beginning of the new chapter Beckham, is taking a slightly different tone. He's exemplifying a lack of confidence and doubt. In the story, Beckham has just been recruited for his dream team, the Manchester United youth academy. Overwhelmed by his accomplishment, Beckham, or "David" as he was known as, calls all of his friends and relatives. He couldn't even sleep.
However, despite his initial joy, things change. He is intrduced to hisnew team-mates. His new team-mates dislike him, he is playing poorly and he is fighting withthe coach. Clearly, the beginning of his Manchester United carrer is not ideal. Even worse, because of his unusual and consistently poor performances, he is afraid that Manchester United might loan (Temporarily trade David to another team). As of now, David's lying on his back in the middle of the dark on the bed. He's deeply thinking of how to turn his luck around. Frustrated, he throws a ball as hard as he can atthe wall knocking down his Manchester United poster.
Despite, Beckham's frustrations, I am continuing to like the book. As ALL athletes, Beckham's simply exeriencing a rare term of poor performances. So naturally, I can clearly relate.

I really liked how you showed enthusiasm for your topic in the post. I could really see that in your writing.

Finally, I thought that you really expressed your feelings about the book, which was nice.
