Mr. Lemon Brown

Lemon Brown was a very interesting short story, and you can have so many reactions towards the story. One of my reactions was heart-warmed because of when Mr. Lemon Brown held Greg's hand. It made me think about how much he cared for Greg to be safe and not hurt. This relates to the topic he was homeless, living in an abandoned building, and we were discussing in class about homelessness. I was surprised when Lemon Brown held Greg's hand because I honestly expected him to just leave him behind and tell him to hide somewhere else. Another thing that I was surprised about was when he said that he was a famous Jazz singer and then he became homeless because "the jazz quit on him". I wasn't really expecting him to become homeless because of that. Greg changed a lot in my eyes throughout the story because at first, he didn't really care about what his dad had to say to him, but then in the end, he ended up taking the time to listen to his dad.
