Body paragraph #2
More towards the end of the book miles does grow up in fact he goes to a night club with Angie and Phelps if you can believe that. So miles does mature and grow up a bit and he learned to adapt to change but his love for the sea never changed. “What got me going is when I learned that about 80 percent of life is in the ocean” – (Miles O’Malley p.170) In the beginning Miles interest was a hobby but later on we see that it’s a lifestyle that might even blossom into a career.

Miles O’Malley is a boy who found his meaning of life which was more along the lives of sea life. And one thing I did enjoy about the book through it all angie’s mental disease and him being rejcted angie and Miles finally end together alone on the ocean miles has it all the ocean and the girl he always wanted.
