Post-reading
I agree with Hunt’s advice becaus Lack of communication will cause many problems. In this case, the family may truly not be aware of how the writer feels as they are too absorbed in their own problems. The parents may also be touched if the writer tries to help them by doing jobs around the house. In addition, it is not healthy for the writer to keep his negative feelings to himself. Talking is likely to help him fell better.
The parents and elder brother may get even angrier as they may think that the writer is being disrespectful. They may feel that children should not comment on the behavior of their seniors.
