Brother: A Fictional Narrative
None of the brothers noticed Maui hiding in the hull. When Maui heard his brothers drop the anchor, he knew they were too far from land to return. Maui bursted out of the hull of the canoe.”What!”
“What are you doing here?”
“You tricked us!”
“No wonder we have not caught one single fish!”
The brothers were angry with Maui, but Maui spoke up.
“I have come to fish because Murirangawhenua said I would be a great fisherman. Let your lines down as I say my karakia and you’ll catch more fish than you ever have.” Maui began his karakia.
The brothers threw their lines into the water and instantly began catching fish.

    Siblings ultimately share an “intense emotional tie” connecting them together (Schilb 346). This emotional tie is like an unsaid pact that siblings have that binds them together for life. This pact can build siblings relationships and draw them closer, or eventually discourage them and draw them apart. Growing up with a sibling tends to be very hard and very intense. Siblings are always in a constant battle consciously or unconsciously trying to one up their fellow brothers and/or sisters. This subconscious battle is what causes sibling rivalry.

    Tom wondered for what seemed to be the millionth time why Dectives were required to dress like wall-street bankers or stock analysts. At least that was the expectation in public, however the moment he had the office to himself, he unknotted his tie, slipped off the linen suit jacket, and undid the top button of his shirt, then sat back in his chair, raised his eyes to the ceiling, and tapped the tip of a ballpoint pen against his teeth.

Therefore, the sudden familiar sound of her voice, accompanied by the enticing aroma of barbecue, startled him, and he immediately shot upright. The sight of Lila elicited a smile that only widened with the greeting and kiss. "Sorry baby."…
