The book that i chose to read was My Brothers Journey.
Richard is his mothers own little "Nazi" as he calls it. He gets David in trouble and tattles on him for pure joy and to see fear in his brother eyes. He sometimes gives him food when he goes to the basement. He definitely knows that he can easily get him in trouble and David will get some sort of beating. Richard is some what justified for his actions because he does it so that he wont get the beatings himself. He as I said give David food and tries to help him as much as he can. He is so afraid of his mom.I don't either approve or admire him, I think it did just to survive and not die or end up being killed by his own mother's hands. I think the past has shaped him because he saw how his brother was being hurt and he saw the things his brother did to survive, so he took those things and it helped him. Richard doesn't remind me of anyone because i don't know anyone who has gone through child abuse.
