In the Cupboard

It made her sick to think he probably thought she'd forgotten him. That's what he believed, locked up in the dark cupboard. He thought she had abandoned him, that she didn't care, that she didn't love him. He had no water, no light and he was afraid. She has let him down.  Pg. 64

This situation made me feel so sick and upset when you think about what Sarah is going through. She thinks that her brother is disappointed in her. She believes that he thinks she doesn't love him and that's why she locked him up and left him there to die. I feel bad for Sarah knowing she isn't able to tell her brother that she is doing everything she can to get home and save him and that she does love him. If I locked my brother is a dark cupboard and never came back for days I would feel so terrible that I wouldn't know what to do. Her brother has no idea what is going through Sarah's head which makes the situation worse. He could think that she just doesn't love him and doesn't care that he is trapped in the cupboard.

This is a picture of my brother and I when we were little sitting in a cupboard in my own house. This relates to the story because me and my brother also used to sit in there and hide from people when we wanted to be alone. I can definitely imagine what Sarah is going through since I have been in the same type of environment. The only difference is I obviously never locked him in there and was taken away by the French police.
