  1. "It was better for Simon Ashby die than for him to be arrested as a murderer." I agree with this statement because if he had been arrested, it would be a traumatic and shocking experience for him. I mean that probably he might feel scared or maybe angry in a jail. Another reason why I agree with this statement is that his family might feel disappointed with him. What I´m trying to explain is that he committed a crime, that he killed his twin and for his family it might be extremely difficult accept and forgive him or maybe visit him in the jail.

    1. I agree with Melanie that it was better for Simon Ashby die than for him to be arrested as a murderer, because if he going to jail, this experience would be horrible for him. All the memories about the past, Patrick's death and Brat's arrival it would get in his memory. Probably, all this situation could be frustrating and bothered for him, because he might not doing nothing if he goes to jail. Also, the family could feel disappointed with him. This situation could be difficult to understand and accept him as a criminal. Jennifer Bajaña

    2. I am disagree with you, because he had to pay his wickedness that it caused in the family about the death of Patrick and he could feel remorse in the jail. Anybody can solve the problem with die, but it is a easy departure that anybody must not do or suggest while he can go to the jail. when Brat knew about it, he had to go to talk with Bee and say all the truth. Though, he felt horrible without any help, he would know as is the real pain in the life. By Churchil Buenaventura.

  2. Alec Loding was also a criminal and he should be punished too.I agree with this statement because he did that another person supplant the true Brat to collect inheritance. That was very dishonest of his part and he did not realize that with his lies could have affected many people who truly if they wanted to Brat. He too favored him that the person who supplanted Brat was identical to him. For this reason I think that as much as "Brat" impostor and Alec Loding should go to jail.

  4. Brat's mother was wrong to leave him at the orphanage so that she could become a nurse.
    I agree whit this.The things were not easy to her.
    She was young, Brat's father died.
    She maybe didn't have the experience to cared of him and money.She wanted to be a nurse so, she decided to leave him in an orphanage because, she knew that her son would be better.

  6. Alec Loding was also a criminal and he should be punished too. I agree with this beacuse Alec Loding was the person who started all, his ambition was very very big. He propused a man identical to Patrick called Brat Farrar that he supplant to Patrick Ashby that had died because his brother Simon killed him. that was increible and orrible,obviusly that alec did not put a gun to Brat for what he did it, I think that the both sould be punished for that lie which make much damage to peolpe who were sad for that death , It was very dishonest and inhuman. Therefore after some time Brat regret what he had done . and he felt love with those people. AGLUCAS.

  7. "brat was a criminal who tried to steal the Ashby money an he should go to prison". I am agree with it, because he was a sham and his principal idea was in steal their money. If he would never have known the death of Patrick, his plan would have continued without any worry about the Ashby. Perhaps the family would be in economic problem if he claimed his money, although it was false. Therefore, he was a criminal as well as Alec Loding. Although in the end, the family knew the truth, he must pay all his lie in the jail, because he played with the feelings of the family and wanted to steal their money. by Churchil Buenaventura

  8. Bee and Eleanor should have sent Brat away when he left hospital, not accepted him as part of the family. I disagree with this statement because Brat was an Ashby and he was a good person who got they love of the family. So was unfear that they didn't accept him just because he was not Patrick Ashby, but he was they cousin and nephew and a person with a lot of values. He deserved to be accepted and be part of the family.He has the right to be loved and he is a person who often do the correct things with good intentions. Jeleni Triviño

  9. Brat should have gone away without saying anything when he found out the truth about Simon. I disagree with this because If he didn't do it that means that he is not the same responsible person who wants to say the true instead of keep the secret and never say nothing just because he don't want that the others discover that he is an imposter. I think that he made the correct choice when he decided to say it and his words were correct that the duty is always first . I think that he made a good choice because that kind of lie was extremely bad to keep it. Thus, he can have a clear conscience for having done the right thing. Jeleni Triviño

  10. It was better for Simon Ashby to die than for him to be arrested as a murderer. I agree with this because this made some things easier. First, Simon did not want to confesed that he killed his brother. Second, he probably did not want that his family was dissapointed about that. Finally, he was not prepared for the reaction of the people when they become aware. So for him was better to died than face the consequences of his actions and look how the true was revealed and that he can't received all that money just for the guilt of Brat Farrar. Jeleni Triviño

  11. It was better for Simon Ashby to die than for him to be arrested as a murderer, I agree with this, I think that if he survived he had to stand the hate of his family and of course, he had to go to prison and serve a life sentence. He was selfish and greedy. Every person who acts bad in life is going to pay in some way, so Simon got what he deserved, he musn't killed his brother for money. Joyce Morales

  12. Alec Loding was also a criminal and he should be punished too. I think that Alec tried to take advantage of Brat because he was orphan and he had nobody else in his life, so he convinced him to steal the Ashbi family. Alec was a man with bad ambitions and I think that he in some way tried to extort Brat.In the other hand, probably Alec had needs, maybe he was poor but that isn't reason to plan a robbery and convince other to steal. Personaly not only Alec, both should go to prison for a couple of years. Joyce Morales.

  13. I'm agree with this phrase: Brat's Mother was wrong to leave him at the orphanage so that she could become a nurse. Because when she left Brat at the orphanage she took him away all the posibilities to have a real family. With the neglect Brat didn't have advices of someone who really loves him. I believe that a neglect sometimes causes that people take bad decisions because they think that they don't have nothing to lose. Brat lived this case because he only heard the voice of his conscience and he followed the plan of an ambitious man. And with the wrong decision he almost die. Indeed with this case we can figure out about the importance of parent's decisions in the children's life.

  15. "Brat was a criminal who tried to steal the Ashby money and so he should go to prison."
    I disagree with this statement because the only criminal was Alec Loding and he used Brat with the only intention to have the Ashby money as Brat looked like an Ashby. At the beginning Brat refused the crazy idea of Alec Loding because he thought that it was a criminal plan, try to cheat the Ashby family and Simon leave out of his estate and his money, but then Brat accepted with the intention to know how is to have a real family that love him and work with horses again.
    At the end all the members of the Ashby family knew the truth that Brat is an Ashby and Alec Loding did not get the money. I think Alec Loding should be punished. Jennifer Bajaña

  16. Brat should have gone away without saying anything when he found out the truth about Simon. I disagree with this statement because that's not correct. First, If Brat knows a seriously truth, He have to tell that to the members of the family because It is important to them. Second, Obviously If He says the truth, he can prevent to happen again a situation like this, so he will be honest and responsible about an important thing that he knows is significant to the Ashbys. Finally, He won't feel the fault that he were lying to them.
    To conclude, Brat did the right thing, Telling to the Ashbys the truth.

  17. It was better for Simon Ashby to die than for him to be arrested as a murderer. I disagree with this statement because,First, You can be a murderer, a liar or dishonest, but you still are a human being. No human being need die. Personally, I think that he needed to be arrested for his crimes because in Jail he will have time to reflect his actions. Finally, Before he die, he can get help about his reasons to do what he did.
    To conclude, No one need die because all the lives are precious and have a role and a purpose in this crazy life where People can do things without before thinking on them.

  18. "Brat should have gone away without saying anything when he found out the truth about Simon". I agree with this statement because Brat knew all the truth about Patrick's death and Simon could murdered him too but Brat was a good person, loved Asbhy family and had deeply feelings to Bee for her behavior with him. He had discovered a greater truth to them. Moreover, He decided to look evidence to show them that Simon was guilty and so He had broken the plan with Alec Loding because he didn't want Ashby fortune only want to find evidence. When they discovered all the truth, Simon dead and Brat knew that he was an Ashby, and he accepted the offer of Bee. Glenda Patiño R.

  19. 'Alec Loding was also a criminal and he should be punished too'.I agree for this sentences referring to the history of Bratt Farrar.
    Because he boosted to do fraud of family Ashby.
    He had the idea of Bratt to start to work for his convenience in terms of making money effortless.
    when the family want to help Mr Alec and he don't understand that this part of his story hurt his family.
    Alec was a man with bad ambitions and I think that he in some way tried to extort Brat.
    To conclude Both of them must be in jail.

  20. Brat was a criminal who tried to steal the Ashby money and so he should go to prison.I disagree, because at first Brat Farrar accepted the proposal to Alec Loding. He thought he could win the money, but then to feel loved family, something that Brat Farrar had never been feeling the affection of his alleged sisters and to be charming for the beauty of Eleanor, Brat decided to exit the fraud Brat Loading Alec had done.

    1. In this story, we realize that people can change their feelings even if at first they were not good. Brat ever thought you could find a family, the family that did not. At first, he may have done wrong, but then repented. Therefore we can not accuse him to be a criminal and therefore should go to jail, if in the end, he helped me to find the truth of the crime that Simon had committed.

  21. Bee and Eleanor should have sent Brat away when he left hospital, not accepted him as part of the family. I agree with this statement about how they should prohibit to Bratt enter to the Family. First, They know that the thing that he did is an offense, so he have to pay to his crimes. Second, Bratt was lying to them about a valued member of the family, so he was playing with their feelings. Personally, If I were They, I won't accept Brat as a member of my family because of the things that he made me believe and think.
    To conclude, Brat have to be away for his actions.

  22. Brat's mother was wrong to leave him at the orphanage so that she could become a nurse. I desagree with it statement. All children need a person who care about him.All children need a motherly love. She had to think about the consequences of their actions. She left her son in an orphanage and he grew without family. This caused it to be manipulated for other people and took bad ways.

  23. Bat was a criminal who tried to steal the Ashby money and so he should go to prison.
    I'm disagree with this because, Brat was not a criminal and he never tried to steal the Ashby.
    He had a propose from Alec Loading to be Patrick Ashby beacause, he loocked like Patrick's brother.
    He was not interested in the money, he loves the horses and he wanted to know about his past.
    He was not a bad man.

    1. I agree with you Carol Brat was not a criminal for the simple reason that he looked like Patrck Ashby and he did not know abaut the ashby. He never thought abaut try to steal the Ashby. He was used by Alec Loding that only wanted the money of the family. I believe that he had a goog heart. In addition, he suffered much and how you say he only wanted know abaut his past. The positive is that he can find peolple who appreciate him .

    Alec Loding ,who has sought someone who looks like Patrick Ashby for your money, so , Brat
    Farrar loves the horses and he looking for your parents, he was not a bad person.

    1. I agree with Luis, Alec Loding was also a criminal and he should be punished too, because Alec knew the true story about Ashby family from the beggining and he only wanted to have a part of their fortune, because Brat's appearance was the same Simon and he taught him everything about Ashby family. He never thought that Brat would go and know all about Patrick's death. However, Brat never said who was your teacher when he talked with George, he can tell all the truth but he didn't say nothing about Alec Loding. Then He accepted the proposal of Bee, he had decided to change Alec's plan. Finally, If Brat had said who was his teacher, Alec would have gone to prison. Glenda Patiño R.

  26. '' Bee and Eleanor should have sent Brat away when he left hospital, not accepted him as part of the family'', I am disagree with the part to send away when he left hospital. he was a murderer who killed Simon. if they sent brat away, he would never pay his acts and continue without any type punishment. The family should have sent to the jail, it is the most correct and fair in respect to the death of Simon. Although, Brat is part to their family, but Simon was the person who lived with they and not a simply strange that they prefer to forget. Also, the rest of the family were very angry with they, because they did not want to catch when they had their opportunity. Brat should have paid his crime and lie in the jail.

    2. I'm not agree with you, brat wasn't a murderer, I know he lied but he didn't do it with bad intention, he even discovered the truth about Patrick's dead. The family just had to accept him as part of the family, and maybe told him to leave and find somewhere to live but not being rude, maybe the could help him finding a job or something like that, but I don't really think he should go to jail.

  27. Brat was a criminal who tried to steal Ashby money and so he should go to prison.
    I disagree with this statement because brat was not the one who planed faking it. He just accept the deal Alec Loding proposed him to see how it was to be part of a family and he really like horses, so he wanted to be near them and ride, he didn't care about the money, he wasn't ambitious. By faking Brat discovered the truth about Patrick's dead so it means that the plan was not a bad idea at all. By: Givanna
