Bears Brother: When The Legends Die By Hal Borland

Thomas was a very naughty child. He used to always get into trouble for misbehaving such as the time when he set his father’s barn on fire. He was only six years old when this incident took place.

People are different in many ways, they may have small figures, be tall, get tired, sweat when it’s hot, and eat normal foods. In the book, The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda, normal does not exist, well not exactly. This book is a fiction book taking place in a simple town. Gene is the only human to be alive from the vampires taking over the world. No one knows how it started and no one knew how to end it. Gene’s Father was bitten 7 years ago and his mother and sibling were killed many years before that. His father trained Gene to “blend in.” Since he couldn’t fight the vampires, he would take his father’s tips like: never smile or show emotion, never let the see you sweat, bathe frequently to keep the human stench off, never show any twitches or yawn, always keep all body hair shaved, and keep fangs polished and looking new. His plan has worked so far, blending into high school until a simple girl who he believed was a vampire showed interest in him. This story is 3rd point of view.

Thomas says I don’t owe my family anything. Not even a eulogy. He says, “but sometimes you have to be the bigger person.”

When Thomas was twelve he was living with his father in Tennessee and had a variety of jobs like golf caddy or paperboy . Three years later ,after they moved out of Tennessee ,in Indiana Thomas got another job working in a restaurant called The Hobby House. When Thomas’s father decided to leave Indiana to find more work ,Thomas declined and decided to stay. He dropped out of high school while he was in the tenth grade and worked full time at the Hobby House restaurant as a waiter, where he also lived.

Throughout the story, Thomas was always an optimist. His stories always had a positive ending. He seems to remind us that no matter what happens in life, everything will have a good turn out. The stories are everything that Thomas has. He relies on them to provide him his identity. Once everyone had turned their backs on him, his stories were the only thing that kept him going. They make him happy and they keep him alive. Thomas is as lonely on the reservation as the jackrabbit was on the desert in Nevada. According to Thomas, the jackrabbit was so lonely that he chose to give his life away under the wheels of their car. Thomas “build-the-fire” was a storyteller, and as long as he could tell his stories, he would live and the purpose of his life would be fulfilled. The stories always ending well represent Thomas’s unshakable belief in a better future, and him never giving up. Thomas’s kindness was never really reciprocated. Instead, the other Indian boys teased him. When he jumped off the roof and broke his arm as a child, his playmates started laughing at him and sang to him that he had broken his wings.(Sherman, 292) As the author would point out, “they hated Thomas for his courage.”(Sherman, 292) Once, Victor even beat him up for

The story opens on a Kentucky ranch, home to the kind and venerated Uncle Tom, and the junior Eliza and her tyke. The story has a few significant characters, yet bases on Tom and Eliza. The managers of the homestead owe cash to a slave dealer, and are compelled to offer Tom and Eliza's child. "Mas'r" George, the child of the ranch's managers, is alarmed at the offering of Tom. Eliza hears the news the prior night the merchant is to come, and she escapes the ranch with her tyke, aiming to discover refuge in Canada and potentially to rejoin with her spouse. Tom takes this conceivably awful unforeseen development vigorously, however without insubordination.

Tom and his father’s relationship was impacted when his father found out that Tom knew about this affair as a child but never spoke of it. And for the rest of Tom’s childhood he had to live without a mother. Which is hard because when your little that is when you need your

In the novel Infinite Home, Kathleen Alcott describes the struggles, of a group of adults who all live under the same roof, but initially live their lives secluded from everyone else. After being threatened with eviction all the characters are forced to step outside their comfort zones in order to survive their own lives, consequently things will never be the same. One of the main characters who changes the most throughout the novel is Thomas. After suffering from a stroke, which prevents him from continuing with his career as an artist, now after “the partial death of his body,”(16) he spends his time alone in his apartment, slowly losing any concern he ever had for the world around him, . Later on, what starts out as a gift exchange, quickly turns into the beginning of the romantic bond that Thomas forms with Adeleine, a young lady who suffers from agoraphobia and spends most of her time locked up in her apartment. Now Thomas finds that he has someone to care for, someone to distract him from his lament and to enable him to strive for a better way of life.

Thomas knew he needed to be a runner it was an instinct of his or even a memory that he doesn't remember.This is the beginning of the end as he starts to understand his role in the society.

So basically thomas is brought to the glade in a giant metal box with all his memories wiped. So Thomas enters the glade and he is met by a group of what he thinks are about 50 boys. Next he is trying to figure out what is going on and how he came to be here and for what reason. The evidence that supports it is that he said on page 4 that, “ Is this a prison?”, also he asked, “ A beetle what?”. As you can tell Thomas is afraid and needs to ask a lot of questions and wants to know

The father teaches tommy how to hunt, track animals and be a part of Mother Nature. And Tommy really tries his hardest! We can see that in this scene at line 7 page 40: “and sometimes when he turned real quick, he would see a pride in Pa’s eyes” Out of this reaction we can see how much pride means for Tommy. He wants his father to brag about him to the other men in the Hut. Therefor Tommy practises a lot.

However, it is intriguing how Thomas expects his son to react to him, considering that he may hold the same mentality as his father. Nonetheless, this concept is out of reach since Thomas doesn’t place value his relationship with his father, therefore does the same with his children.
