I will start this off by saying there is nothing like a sister or a brother. This story goes above and beyond what my initial understanding of the story was. When I first read it, it didnt occur to me how much family impacts a young persons life. At first I thought oh look another story about that one kid in every family who is the “messed up one”. And when you read and notice closer, it shows as if almost in pictures the amount of emotion and deppression that the young kid goes through just fom his family, but I mean who woudnt. The older brother is so perfect to him that he looks and talks to him as if he has never done anything wrong in his perfect little life, and his family seems like they just gave up on him completely. The kid really has no one to turn to, he is just a lost teenanger with a chest full of steaming emotions ready to burst out. And the Moral of the story is to try and understand why people do things and why they act the way they do instead of criticize and punish. thats what I have to say on this story.
