One of the main characters in my novel is a boy name Alaric he lost his mother in a tragic train accident. Its been two years since he lost his mother and his life has been affected by this a lot. Alaric can never forget the day his mother lost her life, his father asked him if he wanted to go to the train station to go and pick her up but Alaric refused because he found a pornographic video at his school in the school yard. Alaric wanted to stay home and watch the video instead of going to see his mother that he haden't seen for a while.
Since Alaric lost his mother he feels guilty that he wanted to watch such a horrible video at the time of his mother's death and while watching this video Alaric felt the joy of watching this video. Alaric and his father are no longer communicating with each other since their lost the have grown apart from each other and since his father has left him with his aunt Liney because he went on a trip to go and bring his girlfriend home. Alaric feels angry with his dad and has stopped communicating with him and the only way they communicate is when his dad asks him a question. Alaric seems that he dosen't approve of his father moving on with his life. Alaric's weekness is himself and how he feels about his loss he has also given up on trying to move on and make the right choices for himself and his future.
The two main characters in this novel are very similar to each other they are both the same age(17 years old). They have the same dark eyes, and hair, same long striaght nose, wide mouth and they even have the same slightly crooked front tooth. Alaric lost his mother in a train wreak and Naia's mother almost lost her mother in the accident. The also have both discovered a way of travelling to each other by an old piece of art work that their mothers both have made. This is their way of communicating with each other. They have also lived in the same house before. Naia lived in the house a couple years before and Alaric is living in the Withern Rise house now.
If you were in Alaric's postion would you feel guilty that you refused to go and pick up your mother at a train station because you felt that there was something more important than your mother?

Yes I would because my mother has picked me up all the time from everywhere whether it be a party or sports. My mom was always there to pick me up. So if she asked me for a ride I would do it no matter what, and if I had to work I would take my break, from work, at the same time my mom needed to get picked up.
ReplyDeleteIf I was in Alaric's position I would feel really guilty that I didn't go pick up my mom in her time of need at the train station. My mother is more important then anything else I'm doing. I couldn't live with that decision if my mother died and I didn't even go to pick her up.
ReplyDeletewell ferst of all family and friends are top priorities and will never be less important so i would feel guilty.
ReplyDeleteugh--how devastating for Alaric. He'll forever be reminded of that opportunity to see his mother, and he decided to stay at home. Of course I would feel guilty for putting something else infront of my mother. I think reading about these situations allows us to make better decisions in our own lives. We read that this boy made a bad decision, and we can learn from his mistake and never do that in our own lives.
ReplyDeleteI would feel extremely guitly becasue a mother gives her child everything off her back to make sure her child's life is the best it can possibly be,and to say you had something better to do just shows that his priorites are in the gutter. Family should always come first.
ReplyDeleteFamily is always first.
ReplyDeleteThey would do anything for you, and you should do the same because in the end you really only have your family.
Although I am not close with my mother I would feel absolutly terrible if that happened to me. Your parents brought you into this life and to think that there are things more important is really sad.
ReplyDeleteyess omg he skipped seeing his mother for a porno. thats low i would be down for the rest of my life if that happened to her. your family comes first in life because they will always be there for you and especially you mother because she brought you into this world.
