Brother Dear Lukas
As you read:
In the first few paragraphs I see that the story is written in 1st person narrative form as the girl. She is about 16 or 17 years old, since she attends grade 11 school. We get introduced with her father and brother Greg. Her relationship with Greg has its ups and downs, and with her father her relationship is okay. The stories conflict is based on the father wanting his children to follow his footsteps because he wished he did that with his father, and he doesn’t want his children to make the same mistake , but Greg doesn’t want that.
After Reading:
2. I believe 1 of the 2 conflicts were resolved. The conflict between Greg and Sharlene gets resolved when she runs after him to the bus stop and they have a in depth conversation and really start to understand each other. However Gregs relationship with his father didn’t get resolved, Greg stood up to his father and told him what he wants to do, he didn’t take that very well and would still want him to follow his footsteps.
3. I think the narrator isn’t very reliable because she’s a 16 year old girl, and assumes many things as if she wasn’t very sure. And she usually talks about how much she hates her town, so there could be some exaggeration. Towards the end of the story she becomes more reliable because she talks to greg and understands the situation he is in.
4. Types of characters:
Flat- one or two traits only and can be summed up in one sentence.
Round- complex with many sides, their features are fully delineated
Static- remains the same throughout the story, undergoes little or no change
Dynamic- changes over the course of the story, this could be a change in personality or attitude
Father = Static character. He doesn’t change his opinion on his kids going to college and following his footsteps.
Sharlene= Dynamic character. Her opinion and relationship with Greg changed aswell as her view on people.
Greg= Round
