Rounding Third Act 2

The second act of this play had many twists to it. The twists that were occurring made the play more interesting to read though. When we found out that Linda (Don’s wife) was having an affair with Tony, it made sense because tony was no longer the assistant coach, and conveniently, she wasn’t around anymore either. Also, I found it interesting how both characters grew a lot as people. Don became more considerate of other people’s feelings, and after the team had lost in the playoff game, he had told them that he was proud of them anyways, which was nice to see that he was beginning to understand what Mike had been saying all along. While Mike became more of a baseball coach, he was more compassionate about the game and wanted to win rather than lose. Also Mike is Starting to date again so I think this shows some growth as well, he is finally starting to realize that he is never going to be happy again if he just kind of mopes around taking orders from other people all of his life. Also, I thought it was great that Frankie caught the ball, and I think that may be one of the defining moments in his life because it helped him to gain confidence. Also, I feel that the game was a great experience for all of the kids on the team because they were just that—a team.
