The Uninvited
Mimi has left New York to escape from her crazy ex-lover. She left to go to Canada where her absentee father has a house he owns but does not use. Upon arrival Mimi realizes that the craziness she thought she left in New York has followed her all the way to Canada. She meets a brother she never knew she had, she is stalked by a strange local and is bothered by a neighbor. Have you ever felt like you can't run away from some craziness? What about if you found out that you have a brother that you have never met before?

If I found out that I had a brother I didn't even know I had, I would probably be in a great ammount of shock. I wouldn't know how to react. Do I hug him? Do I run away from him? Also, questions like: Did we know each other when we were younger? Have we met before?, would run through my head.
If I found out I had another brother I've never met before, I would be stunned. And also kind of angry. If he was anything like my brother now, there would be tons of craziness that I wouldn't be able to hide from. But it could also be a good thing having another brother. I wouldn't know how to greet him or know how to treat him.Many questions would run throguh my head like; Would he be nice? Would he treat me nice? Would I like him? How old is he? BUt most importantly, Why didn't my parents tell me until now?
If i found out that i had a brother i've never met befor , i would be in total shock. Also a little upset that all these years went by and i never met him or new about him and why nobody told me.
If i had a brother ive never met before i would just be speechless. I would be wondering how did we get seperated and why did we get seperated. I would ask him alot of questions and ask my parents why they kept us away from each other this whole time
If i had just discovered that I had a second brther, i would probably react differently depending on what the circumstances were...if it was just another brother that my parents hadn't told me about, then i'd probably be mad at them and welcoming to him. If If it was abrother that had been, say, supposedly stolen from his crib as a baby, then i would be extremely curious and probably awkward around him for a while until he started to fit in with the family.If i had discovered him on my own ithout being told, i would be REALLY mad at my parents for keeping him a secret. In any case, it would be a pretty awkward situation.
I agree with Jewlz because, you've never met the person before so your gonna be in shock. Also your probibly not even sure if he is telling the truth so there is alot of risk. Not to mention the weirdness, you have so much to talk about and all these question are constantly running threw your head.
I also definatley agree with Jewlz.If I found out that I had another brother I would'nt know how to react. Is the person that told me this lying? Is this just some random guy from the street? I would be afraid of him but i'd probably interview him to see what he knows just to make sure he is my long lost brother. Id also be very mad at my parents for not telling me this sooner.
I agree with Jewlz too. if i found out i had a brother i wouldn't be able to believe it. It would probably be hard for me to believe that i had a brother that i have never met. I would probably feel happy and mad because it would be cool to have a brother and i would be mad that i didn't know i had a brother until now.
I have never felt that I can't escape craziness. If craziness follows me, I do things that relax me like listening to/playing music.
Also, if I found out I had another brother, I'd probably start asking some questions about his past and his ilfe without us. I'd gradually get to know him/get a relationship with him, not react in some way at once.
if i found out i had a brother that i never knew about i would be very surpsrised and shocked. i would probably want to know and try to figuer like everything about them, everything i wouldve known if i knew them my whole life.
i have felt like i cant run away from craziness, lots of times actually. its like no matter what i do it doesnt help to get rid of the craziness.
Do you think there are things about your family that you don't know about? Secrets or information that family members have kept from you to protect you etc...how would you feel if you found out that this was true? Would you be relieved that they thought to protect you? Would you be angry that they lied to you?
If I found out that my family was keeping secrets from me,I would be very disappoined. It would make me feel like I have been living with strangers for thirteen years. It would be really awkward for a while because, after all, they lied to me. I would be relieved that they were proecting me, but I still would be angry at them.
well. i mean we're in middle school, there's drama and craziness everywhere you turn, especially in our school. look at us, we're srazy little kids so.. i mean, NO sometimes i cant escape the craziness in my life. and if i meet a brother i never knew i had, i would be sooooo happy. i like siblings, but id like a sister, but another brother is cool.
id be really surprisedd too.
If i found out i had a nother brother i cant even stand one i would probly faint wake up then faint again and comenting on SHorvath second statement i would be completly angerd if i found out my own family was keeping a secrat this big from me.
I have been in the position where I couldn't escape madness and from personal experience, its not a great feeling. But if I found out I had a brother I have never met, I'd be freaking out and be shocked that it has never come to anyone's thought that it would be important for me to know that. But I guess I would be a little happy knowing I have another family member.
If found a brother i never knew i would ask my parents. I would be curios why they didn't tell me i had a brother in the first place. I would ask the brother where he has been all my life too.
i would definitly be shocked to have a new brother, but id also be really confused. how could my parents hide that from me? why would they? then id probably ivestigate the story behind all of it

No, i wouldnt be happy, even if they were trying to protect me. i would want to know everything about my family, even if it made life more complicated. But i guess I would be kind of happy if i had a brother i didnt know about, how can you be mad at somebody you havnt met before?
If i had just gound out I had a new brother I would be so happy, I would want to do everything with him.I would also be very scared if I knew I coudn't run away from the past or something you wouldn't want to relive.
If I had ever found out that I had a brother that I didn't know that I had, I would probably be very excited and first, try to communicate with him. I would love to have a new brother overall, but I would also be very disappointed in my family from keeping it from me, since I thought we could share everything with eachother. It would cause me to loose some respect or trust from them until they are able to gain it back.
i think it would be wierd to have a brother i have never met before. i would wonder where he has been all my life, and why we never met. i would wonder if we were never supposed to meet or if we were and just never had.
i have tried to run away from craziness and it hasn't worked. if i found out that i had a family member that i didn't know about i would be distraught. i think i would feel upset because my family probably knew that person excised. i would also fell like left out of my family because i was the only one that didn't know. <3
I would be very surprised if I had a brother I never knew I had. I'd also feel kind-of sad...because no one would have ever told me. And I have had craziness that I've tried to run away from. It doesn't really work though. I wish it did.
