In the novel it talks about how micheal has bad grades and needs to get them up so that he can play football for the high school team.  I predicted that micheal will get his grades up just in time to play football.  one text to world connection i can make is that some people who are playing at the collage level prabobly had to wotra hard to get into the school.  one text to self connetion I made with this reading is I have played football and had to get my grades up to play a sport that I wanted to.   one text to text connection that i made with this book is there is a book called Friday Night Lights  and it is about a school that has a football team that is turning good.  this relates because micheal ohr is making the football team better.
