Kathy is a tennis player, and dreams of bering famous someday. Just like the unknown tennis players in Hawaii. At her level tennis isn't fun, it's competition! Unlike the players in Hawaii, tennis is a very fun and competitive sport that we all enjoy. Most of the Hawaii players enjoy the competition and we enjoy working hard to become better athletes. In the story, a horrible, sudden accident happens, and by coincidence, it involves a tennis apponent that Kathy can't beat. So people think that Kathy is the one that did it, and all the tennis goers side with the girl that Kathy can't beat. It shows how the tennis world is so competitive and can get very into the sport, even if they don't play tennis.

After reading the book.

This book was interesting, however it is not a very good mystery book. Anyone who has read Nancey Drew books like my favorite, "Yoko," would agree with me.It is about a girl named Kathy that can not beat a girl named Ruth. Every one beleves Kathy would do anything to win a game. So when Ruth is found at the bottom of the clubs pool every one thinks Kathy murderd ruth but people don't know the real truth about ruth. <--it rhymes XD

When No One Was Looking

So for my English class we’re supposed to choose a book that has the same themes and concepts our blog does. My blog is about Hawaii junior tennis tournaments and up and coming tennis athletes. I decided to choose a book called “When No One Was Looking,” by Rosemary Wells. The summary said it was about a 14 year-old girl named Kathy and her being a tennis star and her fame gets out of control. To me it sounded like the story would be about the challenges and perks you get being a tennis star. Which is sort of about the themes in my blog. It’s about Kathy Bardy's natural talent for tennis is discovered by a tennis coach who is determined to turn Kathy into a championship player. Winning means everything to the coach, who drives Kathy mercilessly through training. Kathy dreams of Wimbledon and practices rigorously with this goal in mind. She does well in competition and is ranked number twelve in the fourteen and under age group, but competing places a strain on her family and their finances, as well as on Kathy. The mysterious drowning death of one of Kathy's opponents forces Kathy to examine the cost of winning. Kathy is a young tennis player with enough drive, attitude, and talent to go right to the top. And it seems that everyone around her has a stake in her success. So, when Kathy is presented with an opponent she can't beat, and a tragedy occurs, everyone's motives are questioned. They all want victory badly-but would anyone really kill for it? WOW.
