Report on Friday Night Lights
|
|
|
Friday Night Lights is a remarkable book. Having come from a small town where the local high school football team was also state champions during the late eighties and early nineties this book caught my attention right away. It displays the dream of a small town in West Texas as but as well mentions about segregation, the oil boom, and the oil crisis that came after. What makes this book important is the work the author did of putting everything together. He not only highlights the times when economic prosperity in Odessa was at it’s best, but he also mentions the time when all the luxury went down. The author’s work is remarkable because he mentions several social factors in this sports book. By mentioning about racism, and the segregated school system this catches the reader’s attention and makes us aware of the different issues that took place in a place in Texas that is so close to us. Despite all the economic downturns and other social problems the members of this small town still shared the same dream They still dreamed of having the Odessa Permian High School Football Team of going to state and winning the so wished championship.
