About this deal

LaSalle is using his own abilities to help others develop their own, and teaches young Francis to play table tennis. I thought he was an intensely interesting and complex character, and I could never quite make up my minds as to whether I admired him, felt sorry for him, or downright disliked him. Also, the majority of my English Lit class didn't enjoy this book as they had expected it to be intense.

He dosen't know that Larry lets him win till he finds out , times passes and Francis meats The rape of Nicole also seems to question the morality of of society's acceptance of actions carried out during war-time whilst in uniform against those perpetrated when out of it. Mostly goes on about how embarrassed he is about his ruined face well for that he should have gone on embarrassing bodies instead of ranting on about through out the entire book. and he is the main focus of Francis's mission due to his treatment and abuse of Nicole, but after his encounter with Francis, he ends up committing suicide himself. I know Cormier can be dark, but Heroes was fantastic, moving, and thought-provoking, and I would read it again.Robert Cormier wrote I Am the Cheese, which will forever be burned in my brain as it was a question at pub trivia that I got incorrect a few months back.

This book was interesting and I thought that the characters were well introduced as we are given a lot of information for such a short book but overall it just wasn't my cup of tea.Over the course of the book we find out why Francis has it out for this man and get a glimpse into his life before the war, and his short-lived relationship with a girl from his hometown who he was and continues to be in love with, Nicole Renard.

Eventually, one the veterans, Arthur Rivier, recognizes Francis but agrees to keep his identity secret. Larry opens up a recreation hall for youth and teaches Francis how to play ping pong and a young girl names Nicole how to dance. He considers taking Nicole’s advice about taking up writing, or seeking out a plastic surgeon to reconstruct his face. When Francis comes back he thinks that it's not that same anymore because he has to cover his face and people didn't like him that way but when he goes back to school he mets a girl name Nicole , the girl of her dreams. If you like to read about how bad is talking a kid to war and you want to know what happen to this kid name Francis then you should read this book because i respect what happen to him and how he live.

Francis is skilled at table-tennis after having been taught by Larry LaSalle at the 'Wreck Center', and in his Wreck Center days won a trophy for winning a series of table-tennis matches, culminating in the winning match against Larry LaSalle, despite LaSalle 'letting him win'. The Complainants requested that no members of the ALA or NEA serve on the reconsideration committees because these organizations “are officially against any attempts at removal of books from any school”. However, the positive outlook is shown to be false, as the veterans are later presented as pessimistic people, especially Arthur Rivier, who struggles to cope with not talking about the war.
