Evaluation about Radiance Descending

Ima start by telling you what i liked and didnt like about my book.What i didnt like about my book is that it didnt tell me wether paul ended up liking his brother jacob with down syndrome, all it said was that he felt something inside when jacob touched his nose the day of his birthday and that doesnt really show if they made up or not.What i did like about my book was that it was trying to give us all a message that we should never mistreat kids with down syndrome because they have feelings too,they are human beings just like us.What i noticed about pauls character is that he started to be a mean person ever since his brother jacob was born.It didnt really tell me what he learned or how he grew out of that state but im pretty sure the day of jacobs birthday he wanted to make jacob happy.The main conflict in the book is that paul turns jealous because everybody around him is paying less attention to him than before so he grows hatred for his jacob and that leads to him not accepting jacob as a brother and treating him bad.Paul is embarrassed of jacob and thinks that because everybody knows he is his brother that nobody will like him and he also thinks that jacob ruined his life.At times paul would get these little feelings that he wanted to bond with jacob but his bad thoughts about jacob would come back to his mind and it wouldnt let him even try to get along with him.
