Michael Winter’s short story Archibald the Arctic talks about brotherhood. Gabriel English is a seventeen year old in Newfoundland who idolizes his older brother Junior. His brother Junior is always getting into different types of trouble. During every experience including almost getting arrested for something his brother did, a threesome at a cottage and Junior getting hit by a moose, Gabe just could not help but continue to look up to Junior. Since Junior got hit by the moose from being a reckless driver, his insurance was to go through the roof so he decided to destroy the car(Datsun) himself which he had little success trying to crash it into snow banks. Everything his brother had, the insurance the car, loans, was under Gabriel’s name. Junior just couldn’t help but take advantage for his younger brother’s love for him. “It was as if he never expected me to live a life, so he’d better do it for me”
