"Hey, Ms. Warne," begins Steve's summer writing assignment, as he writes about his first MAX ride of the summer. He's landed a job that requires him to ride the Portland MAX train from one end of the line to the other end every day. Steve narrates each day on the MAX as he fulfills his AP English Teacher's summer assignments of writing about what he learns over the summer and also reading the assigned book Jane Eyre. Funny, serious, and observant all at the same time, Steve's daily ride on the MAX is a slice of Portlandia that readers of all ages will enjoy.
