Dear Rick,
I really enjoy the way your mind plays out things, in such detail. You always seem to have an opinion on something, and the good thing about you is, is that you actually show it. Having been through so much in your life, including your fathers death, this incident seems to just top of the bad luck train. I understand moving into your brother's house, of whom you haven't seen since your father's death, is pretty tough. However, with your kind family taking you in, it seemed as though you had some pretty harsh comments to say about them in your mind all the time! It was as though you constantly thought you were better than everyone else around you, like no one can do as good of a job at something than you! Especially since you were coming from such a big and popular city like LA into a smaller more quaint town, you got a run for your money trying to fit in constantly. Your brother, Philip, on the other hand was very open into letting you stay in his home after being sent by the courts, not out of love. Through your change it seemed as though you took care of yourself a little better and learned to love your brother and his family because you felt as though it was your duty. I respected the fact that you wanted to stick up for that girl, Sally, against all those other people rebelling against abortion. It was good that you picked up on things so quickly and learned to cope with the everyday riots, and didn't budge, not one second thought ran through your mind. It was almost natural to you to be able to ignore such strong protest. However, when the time came and you finally stepped up to the protestors, it seemed to take the occasion out of control. But I have to admit, I did agree with your actions on this one, but as they say "two wrongs don't make a right". It's clear you do care about your family, and that you are destined to be set free from your brothers house and the courts rule, but it also takes sacrafice and patience, all of which you need to find in yourself. Good luck with everything!
