My Brother

This story is about a boy who lives with his mom and brother in a hut near a canal. The boy's brother, I believe, had some sort of mental problem, which would explain why he could not talk and why he had such odd behavior. The boy and his brother always used to go and play across the canal on the hill but as they grow older they do not have as much fun. The boy seems to be growing apart from his brother, he is tired of him coming into his room unexpectedly in the middle of the night and he is tired of his now large brother man handling him. Because of his brothers disability, I think that the boy has remorse against his brother because it makes life so much harder for him and his mother. Also, since the boy's father passed away he has had to take over the role of the father of the house by obtaining a job and helping his mother take care of his brother. The older the two boys get the less the boy seems to care for his brother because he feels the hard work and pain that he and his mother must face in taking care of his mentally challenged sibling.
