This is me reading my book after a long day of food and candy!

This is a photo of my cousin, who in common with Lance Armstrong, is a cancer survivor.

Lance grew up in the plains of Texas, learning to become the 4-time Tour De France winner.

This is a representation of the yellow jersey that the leg leader of the Tour De France would wear.

I could not produce my own Teen Mom picture, but Lance Armstrong had to survivor his whole life without a father figure.

The first sentence reads "I want to die at a hundred years old with an American flag on my back and the star of Texas on my helmet, after screaming down an Alpine descent on a bicycle at 75 miles per hour". This sentence sets the mood for the first chapter, as Lance Armstrong seems to have a good sense of pride, while telling about the horrors and thoughts racing through his mind. The major character introduced so far are Dr. Reeves, the one who breaks the news to Lance. The storyteller is Lance Armstrong as he tells his tale. The first impression is very sad, and like a horror movie. This story is being told because it of the significance that Lance Armstrong presents to the world. As a international icon, his will and determination help him fight a disease in which many can not survive.

Post 1 (It's Not About the Bike)

The book I have chosen to read during the 4th quarter is It's Not About the Bike by Lance Armstrong with Sally Jenkins. I made this decision because I can relate to the author with a family member that is now in relapse and he is a big time sports guy. The cover of this book makes the reader feel as if he is getting ready for a long journey throughout the reading, a serious and information cover, with a few words listed that describe Lance Armstrong. If one were just judge a book by its cover, than they would be reading this book.
