Brother Dear Response

      When Bernice Friesen created the dad in Brother Dear, she made him a static character. The father's views towards Greg missing his finals and dropping out of school never changed throughout the story. At the start of the story the author was talking about about Greg and the author said the Dad said "he has no ambition". And later on in the story in the story the dad is furious when he finds out Greg is dropping out of school.
       Sometimes I feel like Greg, I just don't want to do what my parents are forcing me to do. For example I already work at Sport Chek and my parents want me to apply as a Ski Instructor at Grouse Mountain in the winter. They say I should be a S.I.O.C. (Ski Instructor on Call) which doesn't exist. I really don't want to do it and my parents just don't get it. Working two jobs, school, family and my own skiing, I'm not prepared for a life like that. But hopefully in my book, my parents are dynamic characters. So they can change their opinion and really listen to me. Another reason Bernice Friesen made the dad the way he is, is because it makes for a better story. If the dad was ok with Greg missing his finals and dropping out of school there would be no conflict. So the dad made Brother Dear a better story.
