Granny Ed and the Lewisville Raiders

Have you ever felt so hopeless about something that you think accomplishing it is impossible? That's what happened in this book. The story I read was "Granny Ed, and the Lewisville Raiders" by Rae Rainey. This story was a comedy mode of literature. There was a lot in this book that made it this type of mode of literature. The plot line and the characteristics made this book a comedy.

In the beginning of the book, there was everyday normal life. There was a basketball team, who was not very good. Next in the plot line comes the problem. The coach of the team breaks his back, and cannot coach his team anymore for the rest of the season. With no one else willing to coach the team, there season looks hopeless. Then one of the players grandmas decides that if no one will coach the team, then she will. That was not the greatest idea, because she doesn't know anything about basketball. That's when the problem gets worse. That's what the team thought. Then the same kids grandma comes back, and coaches the kids. They go undefeated in the season, and win state. Then the problem is solved, and it's back to every day normal life.

Although the plot line fits there are other parts in this story that fit it into a comedy. Some characteristics in this book were the times of day, and where events took place. For example, every part of the book took place during the middle of the day. Not at midnight, or early morning like tragedies or ironies do. It always seemed to be sunny in this story too. The colors also all match with the characteristics. Green, earthy tone, and others all match. The ending also fits in perfectly with the comedy plot line, when they win the championship, and then it's back to normal everyday life.

While all these objects fit, this story could also possibly be a romance. The events also somewhat fit into a romance mode of literature, and that plot line. Even though that it could possibly be a romance, I think it is a comedy. All of the characteristics and the events in this book make it a comedy plot line.
