Reflective Blog - Prompt #1

Siblings

For this first reflective blog, you are being asked to consider the sibling relationships in the three stories we read this week.  Questions to consider:

How do the three relationships we read about compare to one another?  Are there important similarities?  What are the differences?  How do you account for the differences?  

How does the sibling relationship helps to form and develop the personalities of the individuals?

Why do writers find the relationship between siblings a subject worth writing about?

In each story we read, the sibling pairs were of the same gender (brother and brother or sister and sister).  How might having a sibling of the same gender impact the sibling relationship?  

Can the behavior of a parent impact the development of a sibling relationship?  Where do you see this in the stories we read?

You do NOT need to answer all of these questions.  Focus on one or possibly two.  Be sure to answer the question(s) in relation to the stories we have read.  Be sure to review the qualities I am looking for in your response.  This is posted on the classroom blog in the first post.
