This story really caught my attention. Out of all the stories I must say this one was my favorite. The reason why it was my favorite was because I think people can really relate to it. I mean this is stuff that happens in everyday life. In the beginning of the story it really kept me on my toes. I had no idea what was going on and it encouraged me to keep reading. Honestly, for me I do not like reading at all, but this was actually entertaining. “I didn’t want to believe that I’d ever see my brother going down, coming to nothing, all the light in his face gone out, in the condition I’d already seen so many others.” This quote really stood out to me because I think so many people go through this every day especially with loved ones. I mean I don’t know how many times I can recall being in this exact place wondering why someone did someone and there was absolutely nothing you can do to help them. The worst part is watching someone you love being taken away from you for something they could have easily avoided. It does not even matter if they are being accused of something or just simply they did it. The state of mind you are in is totally different. Another thing that really shocked me in this story was how his brother found out about him through the newspaper. This would honestly hurt me! I could not imagine not hearing from anyone not even relatives, no one about your brother and you find out by opening the newspaper. There were also things that really upset me in this book and made me happy. One thing that I liked was how the two brothers reunited through letters. It just showed that he still has hope and encourages him to keep trying. One thing that I did not like was when he found out about his brother getting into trouble was what his friend had told them. I mean you can already tell he is in a different state of mind and as a friend I think people need to be very careful with their words. They do not understand the kind of impact you can really have on someone.
