Chp.33, p.214-215
Riccio crept up to Hornet's mattress. It was the one farthest to the left, right by the wall. "They're not there."
"What do you mean?" Prosper stumbled over to the mattress he shared with Bo. Nothing but crumpled blankets and pillows. No Bo.
---My heart raced and my eyes begun to water when I read this part because I could imagine the emotions that Prosper was feeling. He went out do a business and then coming home to such a devastating sight was heartbreaking. He was Bo's guardian and protector and he felt he had failed Bo. I wished I could have given Prosper a hug. He is truly a wonderful big brother.
This part of the book made me feel the same way Joy. It must have been heartbreaking to realize that the person he had risked everything for was gone and that he'd failed. I love how everything eventually comes together and all the conflict is resolved to make a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteJoy,
ReplyDeleteThis part in the book made me just want to cry for Prosper. It was one of those times that I couldn't put down the book because I had to keep reading to find out where Bo was. This part in the book was one of the many times that it showed how much Prosper cared for his brother. This book is a great example of sibling love for one another.
This part made me feel the exact same way. You couldn't help but to feel for this older brother who had lost his younger brother. He knew his responsibility was to keep him safe and I'm sure at this moment all he could think was all the things he thought he had done wrong. Being an older sister and having a younger one I really could relate to this part. I havn't lost my sister but I know how that responsibility feels to have to keep them safe and watch after them. It really did show how much Prosper cared for Bo and how much he loved him, and I think needed him. He relied on Bo for a friend, and it was the only family Prosper felt like he had left. That I could not imagine how it felt to lose the only family member you really loved and had left in the world, thats what brought tears to my eyes.
