In the short story “The Rich Brother,” Tobias Wolff presents two brother who seem as polar opposites. One brother is wealthy and successful while the other brother is poor and alone. With the many examples of how Donald is reliant on Pete, it seems Pete in no way needs Donald. However, throughout the story Tobias Wolff illustrates that even though Donald and Pete are brothers who are completely different from one another, both depend highly on each other.

First things first. HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO WRITE A BOOK REPORT WITH NO SPOILERS. UHHHHHH! Just Kidding.The setting of the story is in the far future. All of New York lives in a 2 and a half mile (roughly 4 Kilometers), tall building, with 1000 floors. The richest of New York live on the top floors, and the less money people have, the lower they live. This building and everything in it is incredibly high-tech. There is very little outside the building, and the building has its own transport system, municipal government, parks, farms and small factories, all inside of it. It’s a metropolitan city stacked vertically in a hierarchical tower. The wealthy and the not-so-wealthy are very segregated and divided, and they rarely encounter one another. In the book, there are six main characters, and four important, extra characters (yeah, I know, it’s a lot). The character plots in the book are incredibly complicated so bear with me.The first main character is Avery Fuller. Avery’s family gets the whole thousandth floor to themselves, making them the richest people in the building. Avery’s parents genetically-engineered her to be absolutely perfect in every way. She’s beautiful, she’s smart, and she’s incredibly kind, loyal, and thoughtful. She is friends with Eris, Leda, Cord, and towards the end, she becomes friends with Watt. Avery Fuller has every tech you’ve never even dreamed of, fully automated everything. She is absolutely perfect except for one flaw… She’s in love with her adopted brother, Atlas. (This isn’t a spoiler, it happens in the first chapter). In this book, every chapter is about 1 specific character. There are many chapters so the spotlight characters for each chapter alternate. The book is told in third-person, so I would say it is the point of view of all the main characters. This in mind, I chose Avery as the protagonist, because she is the connector between all of the other characters, but I would say for the most part all the characters are equally important. Avery has light skin, blonde hair, blue eyes, and a perfect face. Avery is described as “The Classic”. Next is Leda Cole. Leda is one of Avery’s best friends and she lives on floor 962.

There were a lot of touching stories throughout the book titled Evicted written by Matthew Desmond, one story that really stuck out to me was the story of a man named Lamar. Lamar lived in a housing unit owned by Sherrena. Lamar is hard working man, who lives his life in a wheelchair, and recovering addict. Lamar’s story seemed to have a lot of similar characteristics to what I might expect for someone to have a hard life.

The Black Wall Street, Harlem Renaissance, Great Migration, and Great Depression are all period that came in mind, while reading this novel. To begin, the novel presented aspects of The Great Depression and Great Migration because it represented African American people escaping from the poverty, segregation, racism, violence, and lack of job opportunities they were exposed to in the South by migrating to the North. The novel itself represents The Harlem Renaissance because it was written when importance of literature during the time period for the African American people and the Black experience was growing. To continue, the Brothers throughout the novel were reminded of their class and race, which made them constantly aware of who they were and where they came from. This can be related to modern day Black men who experience poverty because they ar
