Blankets By: Craig Thompson

        As I was reading the graphic novel Blankets by Craig Thompson I focused on one critical thinking question "Is the story fair? Why/why not?" The main character Craig and his brother Phil are mistreated by their family and other people. Craig and Phil were mistreated by their father. At school Craig gets beat up and bullied for defending his brother Phil.
       
         Craig and Phil are mistreated by their family. Craig and Phil have to share a bed and fight a lot about little things, If Craig and Phil fought they're dad would separate them. For example, "The cubby hole was the forgotten room of our house. Hidden behind the removable wood paneling in the playroom.." (Thompson 15). Craig was mistreated by other classmates and kids in school. For example, "Your little brother with his messy hair and stupid voice must be retarded!" (Thompson 21).
