Deadline part one

I really like Ben Wolf, I think it is so brave of him to accept his illness and continue on with his life. I don't like the fact that he isn't telling anyone about his illness but i guess if he wants to play football and do everything to make his life fulfilling, he can't be having treatments and other surgical procedures holding him back. I also see that Ben and his brother, Cody, are really close and I think he will be extremely depressed when Ben dies. Ben is taking lots of risks and he is reaching all his goals. I think that the author wrote this book to say that life is short so take risks to reach your goals or you will never persue your dreams.
