My favorite character

I would have to say my favorite character is Jordan Woods from the book Catching Jordan by Miranda Keneally. I say she is my favorite character because she is stubborn, honest, and different. She is stubborn because in this book she has various fights with her dad about whether or not she has a future in football or not. Even though she is her high school football team's quarterback, her dad, a player for the NFL, doesn't believe she has a safe future in the world of sports. She is honest because she is not afraid to express her feelings to anyone, especially when she has a big opinion in something that happens. Last, she is different both physically and socially. Unlike most girls in Jordan's school, she is almost six foot and is built like a football player. She does not like to hang out with other girls, except for a few on the cheer squad. These traits relate to me in ways some characters in other books I've read can't.

In addition, during the story, Jordan changed tremendously. At the beginning of the story, she only cared about her future with football and her teammates. Nearing the end of the story, she changed into a girl who cared about having girl friends too, and wasn't completely wrapped up in having everything involve football.
