Summary Of ' The ' Brother '

But this is rooted into what his grandpa taught him. As a child, Stephen was reprimanded by his grandpa many times for not doing things right. When Stephen is deciding to go with the group from Settlers Landing, the voice of his grandpa reminds him, “Don’t trust anybody.” The relationship between Jenny and Stephen is awkward because he is at first angry with her. The fight caused Stephen to distrust Jenny, but his love grows as he sees how much Jenny cares for him. As the book progresses, we find fewer mentions of Stephen’s grandpa, and Stephen becomes more open. The setting in the book changes as well, from Stephen’s desolate salvaging world to a home with civilized things that modern America has, with the exception of one thing: technology. The reason that Stephen was able to relate with the people of Settlers Landing was because they did not have the pleasure to be lazy. This made the transition gradual and kept Stephen’s trust levels to not have sudden drops. The setting change also changed him because he has been so used to disappointment from his grandpa reprimanding him to his mom dying, to where everything seems too good to be

In a world that is so unpredictable, sometimes there is nothing else that a person can do to make a situation better besides hoping for a good outcome. Hope can have a big impact on the way people view the world, and can potentially save lives. Hope is communicated in many ways, including a variety of art forms, such as literature. Some examples of literature that show how powerful having hope can be are the novel Soledad Brother by George Jackson, the short story Salvation by Langston Hughes, the short story Superheroes, Just for Each Other by Peter S. Goodman and the article Man Needs Hope to Live, by Christopher Kaczor. These literary works show that even the smallest bit of hope can help a person make wiser decisions regarding his or her future, but having no hope for the future leads people to make choices that are ethically wrong.

If I was to put myself in the authors shoes of the text “A Brother Lost”, I would imagine myself doing exactly the same as her at first. I would not be able to let my love one go. I would not know what to think, worried every night. Losing myself as I was trying to find my loved one. Asking myself questions like “Are they okay?” “Did they eat today?” or “Where are they sleeping tonight?”. I would feel like it is my job to know these things. Just like the author I would have been an emotional wreck till I was able to get the realization being homeless is what my loved one wants, and it may even be helping them mentally. I think one thing I would have done differently would be to reach out more, I wouldn’t have been able to go days or weeks without

My brother is seven years younger to me. As a little girl, no one waited for him like I did. No one.. not even my poor mother who carried him for 9 months. Every time my mother came back from her regular checkups, I went straight to her bedroom and searched both sides of my mother. ‘Mommys always bring babies from the hospital,’ my little mind thought. I used to pace around my mother’s bed, I used to be in a constant state of worry - ‘Where is my brother?’ There were days I blamed my mother, ‘She must be late and they closed the hospital’ Maybe, she didn’t like the babies available. Ok, let’s wait till they update the stock! Trust me, it was very taxing to work through my emotions.
