A Brother's Murder: Effect of Personal Stories on Readers
A Brothers Murder
Victor Hugo wisely said “Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars.” (BrainyQuote). I believe there is no better quote to match the meaning of this story. After reading this story, I could not believe how much I related to this in my personal life. A Brothers Murder talks about waking up to a phone call, and finding out your brother has been killed. It takes you back through the memory of how it came about. This really hit home for me and sparked the memory of the night I experienced the same thing (talk about your story about your brother). It is crazy to think that by reading one short story, you could be reading about your own experience. The relation to the story and I is unbelievable.
It is truly amazing to see that a story like this can be written. When you experience such a deep and emotional tragedy and still be able to tell the story takes a lot of strength. Writing this paper and having to go back through the memory of my own brothers death is hard for me. I’m not the one to talk about things like this situation let alone publish a short story. I believe that having the privilege to read a short story like A Brothers Murder is definitely a good one; not just for myself but other people as well. This story opens you up to real life experiences that some people think this could never happen to me. Being able to relate to this story on such a high level makes me want to tell others my experience. I want to be able to educate them on the dangers of the streets and that experiences like this are real.
Brent Staples said in his story “I saw that Blake's romance with the street life”. When you pick up a new lifestyle it becomes addicting. You get so used to the thrill that it seems like you there is just no other way to live. You develop a “romance” with it like Brent Staples said his brother did. When this romance develops everything you used to
