Allie walks her brother Jesse to school every morning and deal with his witness his detraction and the teasing the children do to him while he waits for the bus. She wishes she had a regular brother because she feels that something is wrong with him. Aillie loves her brother cannot deal with what comes alone with that. She feels that he is an embarrassment to her but feels bad that she feels that way. One day she realized that she missed him because she did not have to walk him that morning. She took the time out to hang with him and he showed her things that were so amazing.
I can understand how these certain feeling can occur with dealing with love ones who are different.
