Lit Circle 3

In our third lit circle we discussed why the team was acting like a family and then doing things that was getting the team into trouble. We also discussed why Coach Carter was pushing his team so hard to become better students. Mr. Carter believed that his team should become a student before an athlete. Coach Carter thought that many of the Richmond High boys basketball players could indeed get a scholarship to some college to play basketball. Even though he believed this he still thought that his players needed an education so that if for some reason they couldn't get a scholarship they could still get an education after high school. A few questions that we discussed during our lit circle were; would you be embarrassed if one of your parents were to come into the lockeroom during halftime of a very important game? Another question was how are your parents different or alike to Coach Carter reguarding not letting Damien go out with his friends.
