The scene where they are playing baseball is a good example of part of the explicit meaning. Joey wants to play with Lennie and his friends, but is not welcomed because they feel like he is too young. The fact that Lennie did not want Joey to go to Coney Island with his friend is another way to show their sibling

The issue of sibling rivalry in families is one of the main topics within Bettelheim’s article.

“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.

My younger brother can’t bear having to look on helpless as this horror, at what his elder brother is like” (Duras,61)
