English II ( IS )
Olivia and Lorenzo had the relationship between sister and brother. But Olivia had another mom apart from Lorenzo. Olivia did not know about her brother why he lived on the basement, he did not go to ski week, just stayed in the basement to spend the ski week. But suddenly, Olivia needed money to use, then she remembered that she had some money in the box, then she found Nihal who is the housekeeper about the box, and Nihal told Olivia that box was in the basement before. Then she went to basement in order to find the box. That was why she found Lorenzo, just an accident, but Lorenzo did not have any money to help her. So this was first time Olivia met with Lorenzo after Easter, then she left.
At first, Lorenzo does not want Olivia to stay with him because of several reasons. First, There was his cellar,there was just only room for one person. Second if she stayed here, someone would notice that someone stayed in the basement, and Lorenzo arranged everything,he did not want Olivia to break out this place. In the book, it was described that “She would mess everything up. There is not any room, it was dangerous. He was here undercover, he can not open the door for her.” He found a solution to set up Olivia that she could ring the buzzer upstairs. Lorenzo’s parents would put hr up in the guest room, she would be much more comfortable than sleep in basement.
In the chapter five, the initial reason that Lorenzo agreed Olivia to sleep in the basement because of afraid and empathy. Before the chapter five, the author talked about Lorenzo’s father, he did not have any empathy to anyone, especially on his son. He had very big controlling desire. So I would image that his son,Lorenzo, also would not have empathy to anyone, also Lorenzo did not have any good friends. But due to some accidents and curiosity, he opened Olivia’s box and began to look at everything in it. He found out some pictures about Olivia, and one more important thing, A letter from Olivia to her dad. In the letter, she told her dad: Money is important in Olivia’s world. She have been lucky to have a father like Lorenzo’s father who lets her live her own life and who, when she makes a mistake, practically always helps her out. But enough. She made many trouble for his dad. too serious. When dad met Olivia, it would make her dad remind of his shitty marriage to her mom. That was not her dad’s fault, thought. She knew that for sure. She would learn not to hate him, have to learn not to hate him when his money arrives and when he call her to find out how it was all going. She have hated him for too long, with no remorse. Lorenzo read it three times. He had not realized that Olivia hated dad so much. Lorenzo’s dad was her father after all. Dad was like a man who takes himself too seriously, as though they carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. But in the different environment he would change his style. Olivia was one who had decided not to see him anymore. Dad was doing his best to rebuild their relationship. So Lorenzo felt both empathy to Olivia and his dad. But this was not the only reason he wanted to help her, Olivia knew that where did Lorenzo live, and she kept this secret for him, if Lorenzo did not open the door for her. She would make the whole building know where Lorenzo is. So because of afraid and empathy, Lorenzo felt sorry for Olivia and he wanted to help her. If her problem was solved, she would continue to keep the secret of Lorenzo’s.
In chapter six, because of mom, she gave a phone call to Lorenzo. Mom was very angry, she can not control her voice, the author used “yelling” to describe. But there was Olivia, she pretend she was Alessia’s mom, she successfully lied to Lorenzo’s mom that she was really Alessia’s mom, but on the hand, the reason why she helped Lorenzo because she had Malaria, she wanted to find a comfortable place to live long time. After chapter six, I changed my mind about Lorenzo’s personalities, he was not only introversion, emotional. He had some positive parts, like empathy to dad or Olivia. When he really find a partner to stay, to communicate, he would no longer become negative.
