Final Blogging Assessment in English 1B (revised post)

Charlie's Brother and Sister

At the end of the second part we are introduced to Charlie's sister and things aren't great for Charlie's sister in the relationship department. She and her boyfriend have a nasty relationship. When he hits her she stays with him and continues dating him until she gets pregnant, She starts to wonder if she still has time to changer and become a better person. After she tells her boyfriend about their baby, he denies that it's his, and she decides to have an abortion. Charlie is the only person she tells and they really start to bond! After talking about his sister, we are then introduced to Charlie's Brother. Charlie sums it up as: "My brother likes posters of girls and Diet Coke cans" (Chbosky 4).
He plays football for Penn State on scholarship. Then for a while, he had a girlfriend named Kelly, whom Charlie is strangely obsessed with. Unlike Charlie and his sister, he didn't do very well in high school. He was "something like 223rd in his class," according to Charlie (Chbosky 55). But he's not just some dumb jock. He's also kind of a peacemaker between his grandfather and the rest of the family. Charlie says, "my brother always understood my grandfather." (Chbosky 21).
Charlie goes on talking about some of the other people in the book but I feel like he focused on his brother and sister the most.
I don't know really why he did this but I really enjoyed him focusing on his siblings.
But in the end, family is family. We may not always get along, but they are always there for us. When we wake up they are there, when we come home, they are there, when you need them- they are always there for us. Family is something you never want to let go and not have.
