Long-Arm Quarterback

Did you know Brett Favre, former Quarterback for the Packers, holds the record for most yards thrown in the NFL? In the book “Long-Arm Quarterback”, a boy named Cap really wants to play football but there aren’t enough players to start a team. Two of the major themes in this story are favoritism and disrespect. Even though some may think they are just favoring some people over others, it’s not always true.
The first theme, “favoritism” is shown when a boy named Cap who is the coach’s son, is supposed to be the starting quarterback. Sable Cash’s son Jimmy is also a quarterback. Mr. Cash thinks the only reason that Cap is starting is because he is the coach’s grandson. This is not true because the reason why Tully is starting him is because Cap is a better quarter back than Jimmy.
Although favoritism plays a big role in this book, disrespect is another. Jimmy’s father Sable Cash is always up in Tully’s coaching who is Cap’s grandfather. Sable always tries to take over the coaching and tries to put down both Tully and Cap. This is very disrespectful. Also, after Cowpens scrimmage against Sandville they started talking about the other players in a disrespectful manor. These are some examples from the book.
I think that people should just understand that they aren’t trying to play favorites. They’re just trying to make the right decision. Some people just can’t face the fact that not all the time they’re the best or that they’re offspring are better than others. Also, people should never disrespect they’re elders. That would be as if I were to disrespecting my parents or my teachers. Even though some may think they are just favoring some people over others, it’s not always true.
