Theme and Summary

In the book Shaq uncut, there is a chapter that is based on his highschool career in San Antonio, Texas. He attended Cole high school. He was the starting center on the basketball team and right away, people knew he had a chance to be great. He was starting to get recruited by schools all around the country. He had offers from NC State, North Carolina, LSU, as well as many others. The overarching theme is that even if you start in rough beginnings, you can overcome these with hard work and faith. This starts when Shaq is young and has rough beginnings. He then works really hard and ends up going to LSU and is very successful there and has a great career in the NBA.

    I think that many people can relate to this theme, including myself. I can think of many times that I have had to work hard when I was at a disadvantage. I'm interested in this book because I am interested in Shaq and his career.

    This is a good theme statement and it could work for a lot of other books.
