In the exciting book "Hurricane Song" by Paul Volponi, Miles his father and his uncle are forced to stay in the Superdome during Hurricane Katrina, because their car broke down on their attempt to get out of New Orleans. The Superdome is dirty, dangerous and short on food and water. To make things more awful Miles isn't very close with his father, and feels as if his father cares more about his music than his own son. The experience, along with Miles' love for football and his father's love for music actually brings them closer. Even people who are totally different can grow to love each other.
Even people who are totally different who are totally different can grow to love each other. In the beginning of the book you can easily see how different Miles is from his father. Miles doesn't have much respect for his father's music and his father doesn't have much respect for Miles' love of football. An example of their differences is that Miles receives a drum from his father for his birthday. Another is that Miles thinks if is ridiculous for his father to bring his trumpet and his "gig book" to the Superdome.
Even people who are totally different who are totally different can grow to love each other. At the end of the book, you can see how things have changed. Miles' father says he will see Miles on a professional football team, and even grabs his hand instead of his trumpet, which shows that he really does care. Miles' shows a new appreciation for music after the hurricane. Him and his father are checking around to see what survived the hurricane, and Miles saves a piano.
In conclusion, people can learn to love each other, event if they are completely different. Miles loves sports and his father loves music, but after being together though rough times, they begin to care about each other, and each other's interests.
