PAGE21 / NUMPAGES21 C1 When my brother was about nine years old he received a BB gun for Christmas. He was trembling all over with excitement in 1 of his first kill. He kept saying 2 he wanted to kill a squirrel or shoot a bunch of sparrows. “ 3 , sparrows aren’t worth anything,” he said. I remember him leaving the house when my dad 4 agree to take him out for his first 5 . When they returned, my brother and dad went 6 to the basement. My brother had an 7 about him, but was not excited or nervous 8 when he left. This was a businesslike concentrated anxiety. He had no 9 to stop and talk and tell me what happened. I went to the basement and saw my dad had something in a box and my brother was 10 beside him. My brother told me he had shot at a bird but hadn’t killed it, 11 wounded it. My dad said it would be 12 just to kill it, but my brother 13 he’d take care of it. It would be all right. His eyes had a very 14 , yet pleading expression in them like when something you’ve been 15 to do for a long time has just been refused by your 16 . My brother claimed at that time he’d never 17 another thing.
