What Does Kristopher Mean To Me?

In this story the two brothers love each other, but they don't understand each other and they don't tolerate each other's lives because they love each other so much that they have the power to really hurt one another, but they also show how strong the connections are that bind them, because in the end they find their way back to each other and repeat how much they need each other.

“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.

As a child I was very hot head and easily hurt as well. When I got hot headed I would lash out, like when we played red rover I would close line people or I would kick the boy’s shins when they were being a jerk. Everyone just said it was part of growing up but over time I started to use unhealthy ways to cope with all the emotions ruling my life. When I was caught by my school, both my family and the school sent me away to a mental institution to get help for my problems.

If I were to pick one academic "wake-up" call would during my 10th grade year where I barely made honor roll. Although I eventually made it though the year, I didn't achieve the goals I had set for myself. I learned a great skill from that moment on, time management. Managing so many things at once can be stressful but learning how to balance it all out in a given time is something I won't forget. Over the years I've grown more mature about my education and have learned to invest more time towards my future. I feel like I've come very far from when I started high-school, developing from a shy child to someone who is outgoing and can express themselves in the classroom as well as outside of school.

high where i let myself think i was not nearly as perfect as the rest of the girls at school. I discovered what it meant to be self conscious. My confidence slowly faded, and i began telling myself that i could never be good enough to be a model.I let myself believe that i couldn't ever be beautiful as they were.

My brother has done so many things for me, more than a big brother should do for his little sister. When I was younger and couldn’t drive he would take me wherever I needed

According to, Mills (2005) anger is “Typically triggered by an emotional hurt, anger is usually experienced as an unpleasant feeling that occurs when we think we have been injured, mistreated, opposed in our long-held views, or when we are faced with obstacles that keep us from attaining personal goals. (p. 1)” When individuals decide to allow that anger to manifest as aggression, destructive behavior follows. Aggression can be taken out on someone in the form of fighting either physically or verbally. Or through self-destructive behavior such as starving oneself or self-mutilation. Although anger and aggression can carry negative connotations it is important to remember that anger can be both constructive or destructive (Mills, 2005). When used constructively anger allows individuals to gain a sense of awareness and correct the stressor that cause them anger. Whether an individual uses anger constructively or destructively along with how intense their anger becomes can all be affected by their genetic

It was my sophomore year. I was younger, more friendly, more talkative, and more credulous. My family and I had lived at our house for eight and a half years. One day when my mother checked the mail, she got a letter saying that the house would be foreclosed in a month, but a wise man once said: “A house is not a home.”

When we were young we moves around a lot. I was always by his side so he wouldn’t feel alone until he made friends. Even though he never had problems with making friends in the places that we lived. When we moved to Towaoc he had a little harder time because the kids around here weren’t as friendly as the other places that we lived. Soon he found a friend and to this day they both continue to drive me crazy. They have both made me proud though and I know that I couldn’t ask for a better brother.
