Response of Chapter 5 and 6

Lorenzo doesn’t want Olivia to stay with him was first because he doesn’t have enough food for both of them. He hided in the basement, tried to do everything carefully, not to make any sound. However, Olivia might not be as sensitive as him. He was so afraid of being find out didn’t went to the ski trip. He said that he would rather die. “ It’s a trap!” He doesn’t trust anyone except him self at that moment. He is not familiar with Olivia so he doesn’t really trust her. Also, Olivia doesn’t like their father, even though he gives her money. She described her self in a letter as a proof of a wrong relationship. She thought her father doesn’t like her. “ I was thinking that is I had to write a book that tells the story of my life I would call the chapter on you ‘Diary of a Hatred.’” She felt that her father never loved her, always looks serious. Lorenzo read the letter and thought Olivia doesn’t know father in real life. Lorenzo loves his father but Olivia doesn’t. People usually hate others who keep different opinions. Just like Lorenzo doesn’t like Olivia. This is another reason why he doesn't allow her to live with him.

Lorenzo closed his phone for several days because he doesn’t know how to let his mom talk with Alessia’s mom. He has no way to solve this problem. When he finally opened his phone and received many phone calls and massages that said his parents were worrying. Lorenzo was nervous and anxious. When his mom called him and insisted to talk with Alessia’s mom, the only way was to let Olivia pretend to be Alessia’s mom. Before this phone call, Olivia begged for sleeping in basement for more days. During this phone call, Lorenzo begged to Olivia. Olivia threatened him so Lorenzo has to let her stays. Everything was because he was so nervous. He afraid Olivia tells his parents the truth so he has to agree any groundless requirement from Olivia, including let her stay.

Olivia was not as pretty as before, be she was still attractive. She has no place to live, she was more skinny, more unhealthy. Her body and her clothes all showed she is having a tough life. Obviously she was sick. The disease made her hard to sleep, hard to move. She looked painful. “ She panted with her eyes closed.” “ Olivia was sitting on the edge of the settee, all sweaty, jiggling her legs anxiously and staring at the floor.” Lorenzo thinks Olivia is still his half sister so he decided to help her.” She was like those people… who sit on the benches… ask you if you have any change” He was sympathetic so he gave her food, gave her blanket, and gave her place to sleep. “ Purple spots studded with little red dots.” She said she had malaria. This is a serious disease that make Lorenzo felt bad about her.
