Stone boy
Stone boy
“Arnold presses down the bottom wire, thrust a leg through and leaned forward to bring the other leg after. His rifle caught on the wire and he jerked at it. The air was rocked by the sound of the shot. Feeling foolish he lifted his face, expecting to see his brother laughing at him. He fell to his knees and pitched forward onto his face. Arnold squatted beside his brother “Eugie?” Then Arnold saw it, at the nape of the neck – a slow rise of bright blood.”
The stone boy is happening on a farm a bit away from the city. The stone boy is about a boy named Arnold and his big brother Eugene, who is going out early in the morning to pick peas. Arnold is taking his rifle with him to shoot ducks even though Eugene tells him that it is not duck season. When they are going over the fence and down to the peas Arnold’s rifle is caught in the wire and he jerked it to get it out. Unfortunately, the rifle gets off. The shot hits Eugene and kill him. After this Arnold turns into a stone boy. He walks down to the garden and begin to pick peas, as nothing have happened
Arnold is a normal 9 year1 old boy, who is looking very much up to his 6 years older brother Eugene. You can see that in the text when Arnold is talking with the sheriff about the accident, and then he asks if Arnold and Eugene were good friends. “A best friend was your own age, but Eugene was almost a man. Arnold had wanted to be to be with Eugene more than anybody else but he could not say they had been good friends.” Arnold was really fascinated by his brother, like any other little brother would be, and of cause he wanted to be with him more than anyone else. Arnold does not know how to react when he sees that Eugene was killed by the shot. He just keeps on picking peas as nothing had happened. He is not an unsympathetic child; the only reason why he reacts as he does when Eugene dies is because he goes into some kind of a shock condition. He loved his brother more than anyone, and now that Eugene
