Uddrag
The relationship between Cara and Jed is a bit of a rollercoaster. In the beginning, Cara makes it clear that Jed’s opinion matters to her. (p. 1 l. 27) “No, not angel fish,” I say. “Jed won’t like them.
They sound gay.” Cara wants Jed’s approval. It is the typical brother and sister relationship, as the younger sibling looks up to the older sibling.
However, the second she picks up Ernie at Gary’s pet store, things between the siblings change. (p. 2 ll. 40-41) “The turtle yawns and looks up at me. “Hello?” I say. “He likes you,” Gary says.”
Cara suddenly does not think about Jed. Since Cara picked Ernie, he has to live in Jed’s room, but he treats Ernie completely differently than Cara does. Jed never cleans the tank, and he mistreats the turtle along with Toby.
