So far in my book "Plunked", Jack Mogens ended up earning up his spot in left field over his opponent Geoff. Geoff does not seem to be upset by the coach's decision, but Jack seems extremely happy and he has showed it to the coaches in their previous practices. But that was until at one of Jack's games where he had lost his confidence and happiness. During the first game of Jack's final season he ends up getting hit in the head by a pitch. He was not allowed to play and did not want to practice anymore. Jack so far has also been acting different in his character at school and at baseball practices due to being hit by a pitch at his game. At the end of the final chapter I read, Jack had gotten bitten again in practice while batting and said that he wanted to just ignore the whole world, and quit baseball.
Right now, I would say the most exciting thing that is sort of causing the climax would be how Jack is being afraid to play baseball and how he wants to quit. This is an interesting part of the plot because Jack stated that he loves baseball and that he would die to play baseball for the rest of his life. But of course something happens in the story which is starting to cause a conflict and cause the climax. Right now the falling action has not taken place but I am pretty sure that during the next few chapters I read, there will be a falling action to tell you about. Something that surprised me when reading this story was the fact that Jack did not want to play his sport. It surprised me because when I read this story I put my self in his shoes since this is very relative to me, and I picture myself quitting baseball and giving up because of getting hit. That surprises me a ton.
