Jaycee was free and that’s all that mattered she began living live as well as I did, my dad disowned me and we don’t talk much anymore but I now know how she feels; she had a sulky past with a man that would just abuse her and stole her from her family, in a way just like my dad.

Battling through life with conflict is often one of the main problems adolescents have to surpass. Conflict implies many difficulties that may harm ones dignity. This is visible in the lives of Charlie Hall in Emory’s Gift by William Bruce Cameron and Saul Indian Horse in Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese. Conflict makes the protagonists stronger as it allows them to boost their flexibility, mature, and build up their self-esteem.

The book A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer is an exquisite book. It is Mr. Pelzers’ way of dealing with the dark night of his soul. He tells his journey through extreme child abuse, and how he overcame his past and now uses it for good. When I was younger and going through a rough time I picked up this book and read it in one day, I was overwhelmed with the fact that someone made it out of all that ,this great man did and he still continued to have a positive attitude. Seeing that he could face his past, now as an adult I know I can face mine. As I read his story tears poured down my face

However, I didn’t like how he transitioned the point of view from first person to third person. First of all, I liked how he created a book about one name and two different fates based off of different people. This creates the conflict of what’s happening and helps the me and other readers knows that both boys named Wes Moore has life changing experiences that turns their paths into different directions. Secondly, I also liked how he adds the theme and message about how a child needs a good role model or someone to look up to. For example, the other Wes Moore looked up to Tony but Wes followed him towards stealing and killing. I like how book states that if you have someone you can look up to, then you will create better lives and a better future for yourself. Lastly, I think the transition from first person and third person threw me off a little. Sometimes when I finish reading the book and later on in the day read the book again, I usually get confused on which Wes Moore they are talking about. I always have to read one or two pages back to see whom they are talking about. I suggest the author should make the book more clearly by marking off on top that the passages are about. I think this will make it easier for readers to read. Overall, I enjoyed reading this book and I think this book could help kids follow a right role model to have a better

This book was a very good read. It was very eye opening. More than what I expected. It was a very well written book about the hidden lives of young

This brings up one of the themes of the story, we are afraid of what we don’t understand. The Protagonist was afraid of the old mans eye, he describes it as blue with a film over it. This indicates that the old man was blind in that one eye. It is natural for us humans to be afraid of what we don’t understand, it is so then understandable that the protagonist was afraid of the eye. If the protagonist took time to understand the reason why the was the that it was, he might have not killed the old man in the at all. We can learn from this and realize that we are not all made the same and some people my have abnormalities that others are creeped out by. If we take time to learn about one another and not jump to conclusions then the world would be a better place.

“Our brothers and sisters are there with us from the dawn of our personal stories to the inevitable dusk” (Susan Scarf Merrell). Merrell, an American author and a creative writing and literature teacher at Stony Brook Southampton, states that since the early days of your youth to the end of our story our siblings are there throughout our whole journey. Life is similar to a play; parents pass away during the first half; while one’s children come in during the second half; but siblings are there throughout both acts. Tobias Wolff’s, The Rich Brother, portrays the relationship between two brothers that are complete opposites; yet they know each other’s strengths and weaknesses better than anyone else will ever be able. The Rich Brother describes a complex sibling relationship that is fairly common in today’s society; Tobias Wolff makes use of pathos by incorporating real life sibling abuse; and ethos in his own life and credentials.
