a) I think has more advantages being the only child of a nuclear family, it´s more easy,

normally if you have more siblings they must have attention like you. If you are the
big sibling you´re responsible for teach them the things than you know, or for the
things that they do; if you are the “sandwich” sibling are who less attention have, and
normally who responsible are; and if you are the small sibling you have everybody
on you.
b) I think any of the stories sounds happier, the first felt his brother doesn´t wanted him,
but after that, many years later they are happiest together, and the last one lived her
life practically alone. So maybe the first was more happy but that was many time
after. Even though they mentioned their family, like Tim to his brother and Sarah her
parents. I think they felt alone even if they weren´t. Many people thinks that the things
that past in the childhood are not important but really are, it can occasioned
psychologist disorder lice depression.
