My respond:
I was listening a sad song while I was reading the rest of the book. That song is a song without lyrics. It made me think about Junior. His life likes that song. There are many ups and downs. It always has many difficulties, but also has some happy things that appear in his life. He could fly by his own wings. He was brave and strong enough to make his dreams come true. He also had helps from Rowdy, his parents and supports from his grandma, his sister and Eugene. He had big dreams and it was the time for him make his dreams come true. I believe that he can do it. I hope he can do the things that he hopes. I hope his wings will get him fly high and far to beautiful places.......
