The Way Out

Until what have read, I risk myself to say that Brent’s tone is clinical, he never adds emotion to his writing, however I think this will change throughout the book.

Brent is writing about the things that are happening around him instead of talking about his feelings toward his situation. He tends to skim through his story leaving behind a lot of details needed to know him better. When receiving the tape with all his classmates saying hello I could infer the way he felt frustration. After all he has a psychological problem, he is a very popular boy that is trapped in a world of disappointment, however he is very exited because of Alida visit. Being in the hospital for that amount of time must be very frustrating, well he has nothing to do rather than sitting down and staring at the roof. From my point of view he is very confused, talking to Alida gave him some internal peace.

I really feel sorry for Brent’s parents, they should feel is there fault that their child committed suicide, every time he refers to the accident he says it was because he felt pressure form his parents. They should be very strict and pressure him to do well in school. It is very confusing how he sometimes says that he is a very good student. “They put me in this program for smart kids called GT, which stands for Gifted and Talented”, anybody that sees Brent by street thinks he is a very secure, popular and intelligent person. This is very tricky because as he has all this qualities he is a very weak person, that finds the way out blaming his parents after his actions.
