Slow Effective Poggress... Oh What A Surprise!

In these pages Brent meets all the other kids, who really have problems. He realizes he is very lucky. He says “So, between the cripples on the one side and the idiots on the other, I feel like I’m the only normal person in this place”. All the others actually have had accidents and situations they didn’t not wish for, instead Brent wanted to die. All this people struggling to survive and Brent once wanted to take his life away. How ironic?

While surrounded by all the others with problems, he realizes and values how lucky he is to be recovering so quickly. As the quote above says he feels like he is the only normal person. This Helps him realize he has to be grateful and not take things for granted.

I also believe all the support his family is giving him has helped him move on so quickly. Hi family is always there for him including his grandparents as we see here, “Hello, sweetheart. Just wanted to say a quick hello and that we miss you down here. Were just so pleased you are doing so well and can’t wait till we see you again”. By his grandma telling him this it gives him hope and strength to continue fighting his recovery. It is an inspiration for him to keep on striving to get better. Brent needs all the support he can get, so he can think better about himself and get out of this chaotic situation. His recovery is half medical and the other half his own mentality.

This quote really impacted me: it has shown that all the process he has gone through has worked. “You only get to live for such a short time anyway. It doesn’t make sense to kill yourself”. He has finally found the meaning and value of life. He a total different person he has matured so much!
