Ghost by Jason Reynolds

Describe a part of the book that made you feel something strongly (i.e. something that made you cry, laugh, get really angry, etc.).
Jason Reynolds in the book Ghost made me feel strongly about was the Coach. He had his own wisdom. I liked how he was strict but in the inside warm and welcoming even after his ealy life's tragedy. This type of behavior for Coach appears at the moment when Ghost is suspended for the end of the day at his school but doesn't want his mother to worry so he calls Caoch insted who, because of his suspension, makes him run laps until he cant anymore. I also think it reflect at the instant in the story when Coach gave the track team's jerseys to everybody but him because he had seen the photo of Ghost on the store and understood that he had stolen the shoes he had.
