Brother Dear Response

In the short story, Brother  Dear, I am most relative to Greg. Greg and I are both very stubborn in that we do what we think is best for ourselves. He disobeyed his father's orders and did not go back to University. Instead he went to plant trees. His father thought this was stupid and did not accept it. Greg did it because he wanted to enjoy his life, not try to live up to his father's standards. I feel the same way about my life. If I do not enjoy it, why do it? I live my life for now, instead of the future, because life is short and who knows what could happen? I'd rather feel happy doing what I want, instead of trying to fill the shoes of somebody else so my father will approve. Unlike myself, Greg has a sister, Charlene. I am an only child. Greg has a strong relationship with Charlene. They talk about their problems, and help each other out. Most important of all, they understand each other. Charlene, as unsuccessful as Greg is, is very jealous of his bravery. She someday wishes she was as brave as he, to live her life the way she wants to.
