Life Is Not Fair

Authors Note: I choose to predict the ending of the book I am currently reading.

When a boy can throw 80 miles per hour at age 12 that raises a lot of questions. Especially for Michael Arroyo who plays for a baseball team hoping to make it to the Little League World Series. His older brother is the only one who takes of him because his father died but no that’s his and his brother secret because Carlos is not old enough to take care of Michael he is only 17. Whenever people ask they say he is visiting his sick brother in Florida. Throughout the story I predict that people will start asking too many questions of his age because of his athletic ability. This will translate to the league commissioner finding out and him and his brother getting sent to foster homes.

My main reason is because people have tried to fake their age in the little league world series before to try and win. So people will get nosy and eventually find out his father dead because they can’t beat Michael’s team. A boy named Justin on another team already thinks Michael is older than he says. Then the league would want to talk to Michael’s dad and see a birth certificate. 

Another huge reason is because even though Carlos works two jobs he can’t pay the mortgage on their house. Which leads to debt collectors calling wanting to talk to Michaels dad. I think that they might show up and notice his father is not there and call child and family services because it is illegal not to report a crime. The odds are just not in their favor.

All in all, even though he wants to play in the Little League World Series more than anything in the world he will most likely be sent to a foster home. Sometimes bad things happen to good people but other times good things happen to bad people. Life can throw you many surprises.
