Pride of Puerto Rico

IT4) In this book I found the evidence convincing because I have heard about Roberto Clemente from other books other websites, and a movie. I think it is convincing because there is more then just this resource about Roberto Clemente.

I enjoyed this book so much. I finished it just before seeing a ceremony in honor of Roberto Clemente with his widow Vera present at the 2006 MLB All-Star game. From reading this book I understand why the word "Pride" is always used when discussing Roberto Clemente. This book carres the theme of Roberto's pride from beginning to end. Pride not only in himself but in his family and country. Many may say this is not a book about baseball, but those who know the magic of baseball understand that you can't seperate the game from the players. It is the great person in the player that makes the game of baseball so wonderful. Roberto was a great baseball player and an even greater man. Puerto Rico should feel honored in having him as one of their native sons.

(IT7) The author seems to use Spanish and it confuses me because i don't speak spanish so therefore I have no idea what the author is saying and I don't feel like looking up in the dictionary every word and trying to put it all together. It make me feel like I should learn how to speak spanish so that way I could understand it. It just made me think that there talking there language. I determine what it meant by just asking one of my friends from my neighborhood.
