He doesn’t care about his brother because he thinks that he is a big embarrassment to his family. He was a burden in many ways. The doctor had said that he mustn't get too excited, too hot, too cold, or too tired and that he must always be treated gently. (Paragraph:3 Page: 3) He did not love him he says this in a very vigorous tone and doesn't like his brother he thinks that he is kind of a disgrace to this family.
