Critique of Friday Night Light
Friday Night Lights: A team, a town, a dream is the story of the 1988 Permian High School football team in Odessa, Texas. The book covers a year in the life of the team, from the ending of the 1987 season through the conclusion of the 1988 season. It displays the fanatical behavior of the entire town towards high school football, along with the incredible amount of pressure placed on the teenaged boys to perform at a superstar level, and how they reacted to the pressure. Many important issues such as race relations, parent-child relations, the self-image of the kids of whom so much is expected, and what happens when you fail to achieve a goal. The first reason I like this novel, is because the way the writer talks about football, it reminds me of our football team at Las Cruces
