Samuel

09/19/2012

Samuel is dead. Nothing can be undone. Samuel's mother cannot tell Samuel to come home, his friends cannot go back inside the train, and the man cannot remove the brakes. Guilt is an understanding entity;  it is not racist, sexist nor age discriminational. Everyone involve in Samuel's death has some sort of guilt, whether they were influential on this tragedy or not. Even his mother who just simply let her son visit a scientific missile exhibit feels she is at guilt for his death. The reader then analyzes everyone's position in the death of Samuel. The friends were just boys, where monkey see, monkey do. The riders of the train were innocent bystanders, some wanted to say something but did not have the bravery. They are partly at fault. Finally, the man who decided to kill Samuel because he was done with the tomfoolery. Well, his guilt might be enough to send him into a reclusive state and enough for the reader to consider his part of the story as one of more interesting effects of the story.
