<em>The Sports Gene </em>was written by David Epstein and published in 2013.
This book supports the idea that sports success has to do with both 'nature and nurture', that both genetics and training are highly influential, but also that each of them cannot bring what the other does.
The more a person practises, the better he/she will be. But up to a point. No one can achieve something that his/her body is not biologically or genetically prepared to do. This idea is in disagreement with other authors such as Anders Ericsson, who supported that training mattered more than innate talents and that could offset genetic inclinations.

Simile is when you compare things using words such as like or as (strong as a lion). Metaphor is a form of comparison when you don't use comparing words (he is an angel - he's not really an angel, but he is very good and kind). Concrete poetry is something literal.

In his "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech, Henry asserts that fighting against the British is the colonists' best option now. He says that the British soldiers who are in the colonies are not there to protect the colonists, but instead to maintain British rule. He urges his fellow colonists to start a revolution, since they've already been submissive to British rule.
