TV Show-Writing Activities (Friday Night Lights)

 Friday Night lights is a show based in the small town of Dillon, Texas. A town that lives and breathes football, on a Friday night every store within the city closes. This show portrays the stereotypical town in Texas, where nothing matters but football. With high expectations for star quarterback Jason Street, this high school football team has high hopes of going to state. Jason being one of the top recruits in the nation has a full scholarship to the college of Notre Dame. During the first game of the season Jason is playing well with the game close, and the crowd is louder than ever. As Jason makes the next snap and throws the ball for an interception, he goes to make the tackle. Jason and the cornerback bash each other’s heads, and Jason Street is down. Jason had suffered a severe concussion, but not only that, he had also been paralyzed. He is immediately carted off the field, with every safety precaution taken. This relates to my topic because of the concussion Jason sustains during the hit. Safety precautions were taken, which is something our society today has a problem doing.
