grief
when I read about Holdens brothers death and the grief he had. I kind of understood why he reacted the way he did because I have gone though similar experiences. Two years ago my family got a new kitten for Christmas and we had him for about a year. One day I came home and he wasn't there and my mom told me he was at the vet. he had surgery and was fine afterwards. he had a foot long piece of string in his stomach. My cat died that night while recovering. About 3 days later another cat who my parents have had before I was born got really sick. we took him to the vet and the vet said he was suffering from old age problems so he was euthanized. I think that Holden still grieves about Allies death because he wrote about Allies glove. I like Holden because he still feels for his brothers death even though it was a while ago. He smashed all the windows in the garage because of his brothers death. He even says that his hand still "hurts" and that he cant make a fist because of how upset he was about allies death.

I like how you were able to connect with Holden, and your cat story is so sad, but an interesting way to relate.
ReplyDeleteI like how you connected it to our cats but it would have been better to know how you would feel if your actual brother
ReplyDeletei like the connection, because i have 13 cats right now, and 7 kittens, most of them die before the first month.
