“ My next emotion is one of protection. I will now beat the shit out of anybody who is mean to my big, lumbering brother with his unusual, one-in-a-trillion brain.”
I think this excerpt is especially emotional to me because it shows how people are affected by things done to others. When someone is in danger or is feeble, or vulnerable people want to make sure they are treated equally, and not taken advantage of.
“ A lack of interest in other people. Avoiding eye-to-eye contact. A lack of social skills. Check, Check, Check.”
This excerpt made me feel emotional to the big brother John, who has problems with social skills and face to face contact. And I thought how wonderful it is that someone can work so diligently on things, and at the same time create a life for himself that he is more than happy with.
After the Falls
“ Fran and I couldn’t look at each other. I silently daubed more Mercurochrome on my scrapes. We never spoke about what had happened”
I think this excerpt was especially touching to my emotional side because it dealt with sexual assault, and the perspectives of the victims, and their vulnerability.
