In the book Crashback Miles keeps facing more and more problems. It weird because just when it seems that everything is actually going fine for Miles, something new happens and ruins everything for Miles. Like in the middle of the book. Everything is fine Miles is hanging out with friends he isn't fighting with his parents and hes staying out of trouble. Then all of a sudden he finds out the girl he likes (Lucia) has a crush on another girl. This seems to happen periodically to Miles throughout the book including near the end. When Miles finally gets another chance to play for his team he takes advantage of it and plays very well. Then Lucia shows up to congratulate him and they spend time together. And his dad even says nice things to him about how he played in the game. So everything seems great for Miles then all of a sudden he gets blind sided when he learns that he is still going to be benched for the rest of the year. I feel bad for Miles. hes been facing so many problems and just when he thinks the problem is gone it comes right back and gets him at the worst time and in the worst moments.

I am reading a book called Crashback by John Coy. The name characters name is Miles and a lot of his problems i feel like i can relate to in my life. One thing is Miles doesn't really have a close relationship or the relationship that he would hope for with his dad. The same thing is with me, me and my dad often don't really get along so our relationship is kinda on edge sometimes. I think Miles is lonely with how close he and his family are. Hes not very close to his mom and his dad you already know about. But another thing that we both share is a way to escape from all of that. We both use sports as a way to kinda get away from reality and relax with doing something we love. Miles even said on page 16 "suddenly the crowd, my parents, and the cartwheels in my stomach disappear." When Miles said that i thought of it like how it is with me he has so much annoying things going on in reality. School work, family, girls, and even friends. But when Miles is on the football field he escapes and there is nothing to think about but doing his job for the team which happens to be something he loves.
