The end

So the end of My Brother was better than I expected. I think that Jamaica learned that she did love her brother and that even thought it wasnt the same love that she had for her family members in America, it was still love. I think she has a lot of trouble expressing her emotions throughout the whole book, but in the end it seems like she sorted through all of it. Its like she had a revelation. I thought the ending was much better than the begining, I thought that the way she was talking about the color blue and how everything came back to that color and revolved aroung it was pretty great. Also when she reffered back to that little boys funeral and how she compared it to her brothers was actually sort of sad. I thought the way that Jamaica introduced her brother being a homosexual and thats how he got aids was pretty interesting. She questions his sexuality in the begining a lot and wonders if he has ever had sex with men, so we the readers arent sure if he is or isnt, and then she confirms it. I thought that she did a good job with that as a writer.
