标题: [私问] 文读课本一篇小说问题答不出(高手请进)

余一班文读课本pp87-99：Tobias Wolff, "The Rich Brother"
（网络上应该也有）
这故事平易近人，用字不深，饶富趣味，
读完之后，想回答后面的问题，却发现自己能力不足啊。
在此附上问题，请求高手解惑！
1. Are the brothers in the story developing characters or static ones?
Does either of them undergo a change, or do we simply learn more about
their established personalities as the story proceeds?
2. What point of view does Wolff employ in this story?（好啦这个我会）
Do Pete's perceptions of Donald seem fundamentally sound to you, or is it
necessary to go beyond them for a more objective appraisal?
3. Donald tells Pete that "you don't have any purpose in life. You're afraid
to relate to people who do, so you make fun of them" (par89). "You're
basically a ver frightened individual" (par91). Do you agree with this
analysis or not? Explain.
4. Do you believe Donald's claim that Pete tried to kill him when they were
children? Why or why not?
5. In one of Pete's dreams he is blind and dependent on Donald to take care of
him. Does Pete really need Donald? If so, for what?
6. Near the end of the story, Pete wants to know what Donald means when he
says "I don't blame you." What do you think he means?（我这题也会）
7. Could this story have been called "My Brother's Keeper"? Explain.（不禁想起
姜台芬上学期教的XD）
好啦重点都打完了。
我必须慎重澄清：我知道这篇不是必读，
而我去读它也绝不是因为立志要读完整本课本（impossible!），
纯粹是因为国文课太无聊，黄廷崴又刚好买了本新的文读放在桌上。
那堂国文课被老师点了三次，破个人纪录。
（OS：国文那么烂还在混!!!!）
然后，这本课本是美国高中进阶班用书，且比朗文大学文读课本贵几块钱（旧版啦）。
