The central idea of this story is your friend can be interested in sports and you might not be. And you are more interested into books and your friend are not. In paragraph one Jordyn states," I was into softball, roller derby, and basketball. She read more than my mother—which is saying a lot—and wrote short stories about a sarcastic dragon, which seemed a little crazy to me if I’m being honest." And in paragraph six Mariah states," In the end, people are people—even if their interests are different."
Hopes this helps others. And hopes this helps my love.
Okay so far what I got from the first 4 paragraphs is that you can connect with other human beings through sports and books one way or another and that being stereotypically judgemental could always prove you wrong as you learned after Jordyn said “By the second week of camp, I realized I actually liked Mariah a lot more than I’d expected to.” and when Mariah said “Jordyn the jock was not as bad as I thought she would be when I first learned we’d been paired to lead the cabin of eight-year-olds.”
