My Brother
By: Chantelle Cheekinew
I hold my brother in my arms. He coughed up blood and whispered, "Tessa I want you to do a favor for me ... be all you can be in life...don't make the same mistakes I made ... smarter people learn from other people's mistakes ... its not that you're constantly making mistakes it's just that, I don't want to end up like me... getting involved with gang shit and being involved with murders. Tessa, I know that you can do so much better than that, so don't do that kind of shit ok! Make me proud lil' sis!" He smiled and said "Fuck I'm so cold," then I replied "Lonnie it's so hot out I'm sweating." He flashed me another smile and I cried "Lonnie don't give up! Don't leave me! I need you here with me!!!" At that moment he died, just as the ambulance arrived.

1) I chose this story because I thought it had a lot of emotion and had lots of detail
2) What I found interesting about this story is how the author took something so emotional and turned it into something so strong and powerful and that some people can relate to.
3) Personally yes I think, I cant relate to this story yet it wasn’t a family member but a really good friend almost like family
4) Umm…I don’t think I would change anything about this story, because its already pretty good as it is, I really liked that the author put in some Cree because it’s always nice to add a little culture.
5) I couldn’t possibly think of anything I could add in this story that the author already has.
