Un- prepared?

When "the thief" scores the goal on El Gato, Gato can't believe it and is furious with him-self. I think the keeper should have prepared him to be scored on in a large game such as this. How do you feel about this?

The Deal

When the people from DJS came to sign El Gato do you think the family should've hsndled the signing differently? Instead of the parents deciding do you think El Gato should've decided or had a say in it? Should they have tried to get a better deal. Or do you think they handled it well?

If you were on a spider web, would you be the spider or the caught bug? Why?

Uncle?

Do any of you feel that uncle has a larger part in the story? What could that part be?

Keeper

What do you guys think the deer represents? What do you think the jaguar represents?

Ellie's Blog Response!

Yes, I think that a coach has to be a good mentor as well, because the student often looks up to the coach and follows in their foot steps. What I mean by this is that if the coach is not a good mentor and sets bad examples then the child might do the same and become a bad person. Coaches that are good mentors help the student to become a better person, they may act as a father figure and help the person out at both the sport and on the persons outlook on life. That is why I think that the coach should not only be a good coach, but also a good mentor.
