Choice Book Report 2 Part 2: Blue Star Rapture.

   I think they chose the point of view to be in third person because the author was trying to show that T.J, Nucci isn't the only important character in the book. I think that he did that because Tyrone, LouAnn (Ruth Ann), Sister Simone, etc. were all important to the plot of the story. T.J. was the main character but not the most important. I think that Tyrone or LouAnn were the most important characters because they were the characters that the author based the whole story off of. Obviously, T.J. was a very imprtant character in the story but when the author was writing the story I think that he was directing the story to revolve around Tyrones basketball career.  
   I also think that the author made the story in third person because he wanted to show how everybody in the books life was going and what effect they had on people and who effected them. An example of this is when LouAnn (Ruth Ann) was talking to him about other people in her life you could just imagine the flash backs in her head when she was explaining all of it in the book. Another thing is when T.J. is talking to school counselors about Tyrones grades and expectations in college. The author is very detailed when he talks about all these people and that brings me to my next reason.
   Another reason i think that the book was in third person is so the author could better explain all the details in the book. An example is when T.J. was talking to the school counselor about Tyrones progress and college opportunities and the author points out a lot of details about the counselors apperance. At one point he even says, "I bet she was a babe when she was younger". When the author said that i think he might have got a little too detailed there, but it gave a good discription of her. Another example is when he's talking to Rita Esposito, one of the leaders in the school newspaper and somewhat of the school nerd. The author explained her whole body, personality, body language, and personality and she really wasn't a very important character in the book i think the author just wanted to explain what type of person she was so the reader could get a better idea of what she looks like. Over all I liked the authors choice of third person.
