The reason that I cried was we were really good through the 1st to the 19th game and I also

I was sharing the bed with my older brother, with my mother and two sisters in the other room. Even though we were the youngest , my brother and I were the only boys in the family. Besides, we used to share it with our father. Used to. As I tried to fall asleep in the sweltering weather, the May heat suddenly gave away to a cold. I was surprised at the drop of temperature

from the tragic death of his little brother. The family members observed are rather openly distressed, for they seem to express their feelings rather than contain them. For instance, the speaker states how when he first gets home he “met [his] father crying,” which may not seem too unrealistic for this type of scenario. However, by using a father figure in this instance, a sense of irony is created; men are normally

how the Savage weeps uncontrollably at the realization his mother has passed, and the nurse in the presence of this is absolutely disgusted and appalled by the slight scene he was causing.

The nurse in Brave New World silently comments

It was pouring with rain like an avalanche. One of the girls stood behind her. “We’re sorry,” whispered the girl.
