Hurricane Song

     I have started a new book, but I am not far enough in in to really have any opinions on it. So, I decided to talk briefly about Hurricane Song, the book we are reading in class. In it, Miles and some of his family are forced to stay in the Super Dome, during hurricane Katrina, because their car broke down before they could get to a their other relative's house.
     After reading this last chapter, I feel like I'm getting to know Miles' character a little more. At the beginning, Miles really wanted to be friends with two boys on his football team, because they were older, and he thought it would make him more popular at school. It was nice at first, but then he started to realize how mean they were, they wanted to steal money from people, and then when he refused, they said he had to choose between them, or his family. He chose his family, and gave them money so they would go away.
     In conclusion, I saw a huge change in his character. He puts his family first, and popularity isn't his first priority.
