The thing that most surprised me about the Tueys is that they took in a kid on the streets and allowed him to stay at there house. They didn’t really know him and still took him in and he also could have stoled something or mess everything up. It turns out that he was a really caring kid and knows the right from wrong because he was not raised in a very good household. All and all the Tueys took a chance with Michael and made the right decision about taking him in to there family.

 Michael will move into the the Tuey’s house soon.  They have talked to him and have invited him to stay so I think he will say yes because I would want somewhere to sleep and he probably would to instead of sleeping where ever he can find a place.  He also will become very comfortable at there house and become one of there family members later in the book.  Michael needs to stay with the Tuey family because he needs them in there life to help him along the way with school and education.
