From The Boy Who Loved Bach by T.L. Peters, Chapter 11 I had expected Coach Heartlack to use me as a human blocking dummy at practice for animals like Joey Orsolak to take out their "Darwinian aggressions" on, a phrase I had learned from Mr. Plunkett when he was describing Billy Budd's struggles against his chief accuser Mr. Claggert. But it was even worse than that.
The Boy Who Loved Bach by T.L. Peters
THE BOY WHO LOVED BACH is about a ninth grader at the top of his class trying out for the football team who just can't seem to remember the plays, much to the consternation and bewilderment of his coach and teammates, not to mention his girlfriend, all of which makes him miserable. But when Ed picks up the violin at the urging of his mother and learns to play Bach, his perspective changes.
Loving this book! (:
Happy Reading
