Standing on the field on scrimmage day, waiting to speak to his coach, Fornatee said he had skipped the second tryouts as a matter of pride. "I wasn't going to come to tryouts," he said, "because I tried out. I love playing soccer," he added as he waited for Coach. "I love playing with my friends, but my friends aren't here. It's like you break up with your family. And this is why: don't nobody want to cut their hair. I want to play on the team, but I want to play on the team with my friends."

I asked Fornatee what it felt like to be off Luma's team.

"I'm not off the team," he snapped. "She hasn't called me, and I haven't called her. So in my opinion, I'm still on the team."

Read this excerpt from wheels of change by sue macy. that said, it's hard to grasp the full extent of the bicycle's impact on americans in the late 19th century—particularly female americans. imagine a population imprisoned by their very clothing; the stiff corsets, heavy skirts, and voluminous petticoats that made it difficult to take a deep breath, let alone exercise. add to that the laws and social conventions that cemented a man's place as head of the household and holder of the purse strings. how suffocated women must have felt. and how liberated they must have been as they pedaled their wheels toward new horizons. what is the central idea of the excerpt
