Perhaps his journey to the NFL is also among the top stories. His draft process, the expectations, and how he adjusted to the professional level. There could be stories about his training, the coaches he worked with, and his early experiences in the NFL.
Definitely nonfiction. Walden details Thoreau's personal experiment of simple living, and Civil Disobedience is his passionate argument against unjust laws, both rooted in reality and his own beliefs.
A main lesson is that disobedience can prevent personal growth. If a boy is constantly disobeying, he won't learn important skills or values. For instance, if he doesn't listen to his parents about daily chores or good behavior, he won't develop self - discipline. In the long run, self - discipline is crucial for achieving goals in life. And through the negative experiences that come from disobedience, like getting bad grades or losing things, the boy comes to understand the importance of obedience and following instructions.
Character development is key. A character who is willing to be disobedient must be well - drawn, showing their motivation and the consequences of their actions. For example, in 'To Kill a Mockingbird', Atticus Finch's quiet disobedience of the racist norms of his town is shaped by his strong moral character.
