Hoop Dreamz by; 1i HOOP DREAMZ

Our class has watched a documentary, "Hoop Dreams". These are a few paragraphs describing the differences and similarities of the two main characters William and Arthur, and what challenges and problems they went through.

Arthur Agee, one of the main characters from the documentary has some differences from William Gates. Arthur couldn’t pay for high school, well... his parents were kinda broke. Arthur’s dad was unfortunately was very much involved with DRUGS. He graduated from Mineral High School and then went to Arkansas State. He also had a brother.

William Gates is another main character. He also has some differences and similarities from Arthur. Here are some of the differences: William had knee surgery. His paycheck was $50.00. William also had a wife and a daughter.

Both of the main characters have a few things in common. Here are some of them. William and Arthur are both “African Americans”. They both love basketball. Arthur and William are males and have wife's. They also have at least one child. They enjoy sports. Both of them went to high school and graduated from college.

I wrote this paper because we watched the movie called “Hoop Dreams”. The is about two young men having a dream. The two basketball players are named Arthur and William. They were put in with challenges and problems but at the end they are wonderful basketball players. Even though they never went to the NBA but probably dream of it.
