Now that we have had our presentation and thought
of different inquiry questions I have started to think about Robert Ross'
sister, Rowena. She was born hydrophalic and spent her entire life in a wheelchair.
Robert loved her so much, and it seemed like he was even closer to her than
their parents. Robert did a lot of things for his sister because he loved her,
and I think he thought that she should have the opportunity to do many things
and enjoy life as much as she could. I think this is a good attitude to have, I
also believe that people who are restricted to a wheelchair or crutches also
should be given the opportunity to do as many things as they can.
Robert is thinking about joining the army now that
his sister passed away. He sees a soldier after Rowena's funeral and thinks
that this soldier has something to do, something to keep his hands full. I
guess that is what Robert thinks he needs, something to occupy his thoughts and
something that will make him feel less useless. It makes sense because now that
his sister no longer needs him to take care of her, he has an urge to feel
needed. The situation will be very different, because taking care of Rowena was
out of love for a person. Joining the army will be out of love for his nation.
