Angel from the sky, he knows how I feel. WASSAP :) gonna do some book quotes from "House Rules" by Jodi Picoult. Before you get confused or anything, let me tell you who the characters are. Only those that appear in my quotes. They're pretty long but please read kay. Jacob - a child born with Asperger's Syndrome. He's eighteen. Being accused for murder. Theo - Jacob's younger brother whom I totally read from head to toe all to well. He's fifteen. Oliver - Jacob's lawyer. Jess - Jacob's social skills tutor that Jacob was believed to have killed. *By the way, all my quotes are from Theo's point of view. Okay, read :) " I'm no saint. There are time where I'll do things to drive Jacob crazy, because its just so damn easy. Like when I went into his closet and mixed up all his clothes. Or when I hid the toothpaste cap so that he couldn't put it back on when he was done brushing his teeth. But then I wind up feeling bad for my mom, who usually bears the brunt of one of Jacob's meltdowns. There are times when I hear her crying, when she thinks Jacob and I are asleep. That's when I remember she didn't sign up for this kind of life, either. So I run interference. I'm the one who physically drags Jacob away from a conversation when he's starting to freak people out by being too intense. I'm the one who tells him to stop flapping when he's nervous on the bus, because it makes him look like a total nutcase. I'm the one who goes to his classes before I go to my own, just to let the teachers know that Jacob had a rough morning because we unexpectedly ran out if soy milk. In other words, I act like the big brother, even though I'm not. And during times when I think it's not fair, when my blood feels like lava, I step away. If my room isn't far enough, I get on my skateboard and tool somewhere - anywhere that isn't the place I'm supposed to call home." -from Theo's point of view. " So here's the deal: I know that, down the road, Jacob will be my responsibility. When I find a girl I want to marry, I'm going to propose with this contingency - that Jacob and me, we're a package deal. When I least expect it, I might have to make excuses for him, or talk him down from his freak-out session, like my mom does now. (I am not saying this out loud, but there is a part of me that's been thinking if Jacob is convicted for murder - if he's imprisoned for life - well, mine gets a little bit easier.) I hate myself for even thinking that, but I'm not going to lie to you. And I guess it doesn't matter if it's guilt that gets me to take care of Jacob in the future, or love, because I'll do it. It just would have been nice to be asked, you know?" -from Theo' point of view. " And then Jacob showed up. I don't know what he was doing here - apparently it had to do with some kind of testing thing that was being administered at my school instead of his, and he was waiting with his aide for my mother to come pick him up. But the minute he saw me and called my name, I knew I was screwed. At first I pretended I didn't hear him, but he ran right onto the field. 'Friend of yours, Hunt?' Tyler asked, and I just laughed it off. I whipped the Frisbee in his direction, extra hard. To my surprise, Jacob - who couldn't catch a freaking cold if he tried - nabbed the Frisbee and started to run with it. I froze, but Tyler took off after him. 'Hey retard,' he yelled at Jacob. 'I'm gonna kick your ass!' He was faster than Jacob, big surprise, and he tackled my brother to the ground. He lifted his hand to deck Jacob, but by then I was on his back, yanking him off and straddling his body as the Frisbee went spinning into the street. 'You don't fucking touch him,' I yelled into Tyler's face. 'If anyone's going to beat up my brother , it's going to be me.' I left him in the dirt, coughing then I took Jacob's hand and walked him to the front of the school, where I couldn't hear the girls whispering about me and my dork of a brother, where there were enough teachers milling around to keep Tyler and Wally from jumping me in revenge. 'I wanted to play,' Jacob said. 'Well, they didn't want you to play,' I told him. He kicked at the dirt. 'I wish I could be the big brother.' Technically, he was, but he wasn't talking about age. He just didn't know how to say what he meant. 'You could start by not stealing someone's goddamn Frisbee,' I said. " -from Theo's point of view. " 'Jacob,' Oliver asks,'was Jess alive when you got to the house?' 'No! But I saw that Theo had been there, so what I did was right.' 'Why didn't you call your mother, or an ambulance?' my father asks. 'Why would you set up a crime scene to cover up for Theo?' 'Jacob stares right at me. It hurts; it actually hurts. 'House rules,' he says simply,'Take care of your brother, he's the only one you've got.' " -from Theo's point of view. Theo reminds me of myself from the start. How I wish if my room wasn't far enough, I could walk out of the house. Reading Theo's character, personality and thoughts, it really doesn't take rocket science to figure him out. He loves his brother deep down inside. He protects his brother although he's not the big brother. He teaches his brother to defend himself with words. His brother loves him. Jacob can't feel it but he showed it although it was in the wrong way. He covered up Theo's tracks in the house and set up a crime scene so that his brother wouldn't be in the picture when Jess was killed. He wants to protect his brother too. He's autistic, he doesn't feel anything even if he wants too. He doesn't want to lose his brother. He shows his love in the wrong manner. But that's okay, because then everyone will know that he does care for his brother. I cried just reading this book. I hope you'll try read it. And maybe, just maybe, you'll feel the same way. :)
