Significance: What is the author's theme?

What is the author's theme...... There was this little boy who would love to run alot. Whenever he would go to school, during break he would race other people at his school.He would always win. Whenever he would go home he would always run around the block. He acts like someone is chasing him.

Perspective: What do you perceive the problem to be?

The problem is that there is this BULLY at Zinkoff's school. The BULLY "thinks" he is better than Zinkoff. Everytime Zinkoff races the bully. Zinkoff always wins. =)

Connection: How can I connect this to someone else's life?

Since its about a little boy who loves to run named Zinkoff. I could compare this to Daniel because hes also the same has Zinkoff. They both love to run because they like it. I would compare Zinkoff's life to Daniel.

Supposition: What else would you use to help create the story?

To make the story better i would of put a baseball tournament. That would be kool. Like Zinkoff could be one of the best players on the team that would hit lots of home runs. There team name could be the unknown. To make the story more interesting. There would be tournaments after school and on Friday-Sunday.
