The Empire of the sun

Empire of the sun was a conflicting and heartbreaking story. It had thrill, love, and war. A young boy Jamie coming from a life of servants and fine dining he didn’t know that his life was about to change drastically. But the most important thing to the boy was family values they never changed no matter who he was around. The three reasons why I say this because one the way he was at the camp, the way he was with the boy, and the way he was with Basey.

I say the way he was with Basey because he just took to him. He listened to him as if he was his father. No matter what Basey did like stealing from him as soon as he meet him he still followed his word. He treated basey like he knew him his whole life and basey didn’t do anything for him but use him. Basey tried to sale him but no one wanted him but Jamie still treated him like family.

Anther reason I think that Jamie’s family values didn’t change because the boy over the other side of the gate. When they first meet the boys airplane was over the other side with Jamie and he loves airplanes. But no matter if the boy was the same race as the people who took over his country he still treated him like a little bother. At the end the boy go killed because of a misinterpretation of something he bet the man who killed him up.

The last reason I say this is because the way he treated everyone at the camp they put him in. He got food for people and stole things so he can feed what he treated like his family. He got food for the woman he treated like his mother. No matter if he knew she was dieing or not he didn’t leave her side. He treated the little kids as if they were blood but knowing there not.

In conclusion I think that his family values did change because of these three reason, the way he treat basey, the way he treated that little boy and the way he treated everyone at the camp. He was brave little boy going throw war and living to tell about it he living in new places with new people but one thing never changed his value of family.
