In the beginning of Hurricane Song, Miles and his Pop ( Doc ) weren't that close. Pop cared about his horn more than he did about Miles. But, by the end of the book, their relationship got better.
In the middle of the book, Miles says " It wasn't a big space between us, but it felt like it was from one end of a football field to the other," I think what Miles is trying to say is that even though Miles is sitting right next to his dad, their relationship feels farther away. I really like it when Miles says that because Miles is the kind of person who keeps their feelings bottled up. And it is nice to hear that he is expressing his feelings, but I was disappointed when I realized that he didn't say it to his father. And when he says it, it tell me he wants things to be better between him and his dad.
At the end of the book, when Miles is hugging his dad he says " There wasn't any space between us, and for once every part of me felt close to him," I think what Miles is trying to say is that a hug was all Miles needed to see that his Pop actually cared and loved him more than his music.
Another way Miles knew that his dad loved him more than his music was when they had a fight with the looters. In the fight, Pops horn got bent and messed up ; but when the looters ran away Pop didn't care about the horn, he asked Miles if he was okay. That really shows to Miles and us the readers that Pop is really loving and cares about Miles more than his music.
Overall, Miles now knows that his dad really cares about him. Through out the book both Miles and his dad changed. I was hoping that at the end of the book Miles will tell his dad his feelings about his dad and his music ; but I guess he didn't need to because everything got solved.
