📖 Rez Ball

Rez Ball is the story of an Ojibwe highschool basketball player named Tre Bun who dreams of following in his older brother Jaxon's footsteps of being a star player and ultimately making it to the NBA. However, Tre is haunted by the events of an accident that killed his brother, leaving him feeling unfulfilled and doubtful at school and on the court. Tre knows that if he ever wants to go pro, he will have to overcome these feelings of doubt and fill his brother's shoes in order to take his reservation's highschool to state level games and win. I recommend this book because it offers great insight on the modern life of a native teenager on an American reservation. It is common knowledge that reservations are generally less privileged areas, so the highlights of Tre's hardships and challenges throughout this book shows the reader the tireless amount of work and effort Tre put in as a "rez" basketball player. This books includes themes of loss, grief, self-confidence, and even love, so I highly recommend this coming of age story to any young reader.

《Rez Ball》讲述了一位名叫 Tre Bun 的奥及布威高中篮球运动员的故事,他梦想追随哥哥 Jaxon 的脚步,成为一名明星球员,并最终进入 NBA。 然而,一场导致他兄弟死亡的事故一直困扰着特雷,这让他在学校和球场上都感到不满足和怀疑。 特雷知道,如果他想成为职业球员,他就必须克服这些怀疑情绪,接替他哥哥的位置,才能带领他保留地的高中参加州级比赛并获胜。 我推荐这本书是因为它对美国保留地本地青少年的现代生活提供了深刻的见解。 众所周知,保留地通常是特权较低的领域,因此本书中对特雷的艰辛和挑战的重点介绍向读者展示了特雷作为一名"雷兹"篮球运动员所付出的不懈努力和努力。 这本书的主题包括失落、悲伤、自信,甚至爱情,所以我强烈向所有年轻读者推荐这个成长故事。
