RAIN MAN

In English class we had to read a obligatory book. I chose RAIN MAN, because I would know more the autism, and it is a book that explain it.




It's a novel by Leonare Fleischer.

It's about a boy who, when his father dies, discovers he has a brother who is autistm.


SUMMARY


It take place when Charlie's father died. He didn't have contact with his rich father for years, but when he died Charlie would his inheritance. He couldn't have that and he searched who had it. Suddenly, he knew he had a brother who is autist. First Charlie had his brother Raymond for the inheritance, but slowly the love to him believing. Now Charlie loved him, but when they arrived in Los Angeles, they met the doctors of Raymond there. They asked to Raymond if he prefered to stay with his brother or if he wanted return to Wallbrok. He was undecided, and the doctors decided that the best thing for Raymond is to return to Wallbrook, where he'll be well cared. Charlie doesn't like this idea, but ha wanted the best for Raymond and he decided he always will visit him.



MY OPINION

I enjoy this book and liked it a lot. It was sad and at the end I cried. I think it must be hard to live this story, knowing that you have a brother who is autistm and you can't do anything for him, and you know him now and oyu can love him so much.

I recommend it to all students because it's a hard and wondrful novel which makes oyu think.
