Journal Response #8
How does hearing the actual version of the song “It’s all in the game” affect your view of the scene where Sonny watches Dorothy and Jim? Was your perspective on the scene changed at all? How?

We just finished reading chapter 16 in the novel October Sky. In the chapter Sonny goes to the Dugout and see Dorothy their. The only problem is that see has a date and its his brother, Jim. Sonny watch his brother watch his brother dance to the song ``Its all in the game`` with the girl that he has a crush on. After hearing the actual song ``Its all in the game`` by Tommy Edwards, it gave me a totally different perspective on Jim and Dorothy dancing. I think it showed me that Jim was just using Dorothy the make his brother, almost like a little game. I think it also what was going to happen to Dorothy and Jim's relationships in the future. For example Jim probably was not going to call her for a long time and she was just another girl he was hooking up with.
