ATDPI Response

Arnold can't seem to stop surprising me.  Despite how his life has its major ups and downs he trys his best to reajust.  And in this chapter he's shown his coping mechanism is laughter.  Because of the current state he's in makes his mind wander to avoid thinking about the problem.  This state has lead him to acting oddly around his family, and angering Rowdy.

Everyone handles their grief differently despite all of them being humans.  Grief is also what brings us closer together after tearing us apart.  Arnold noticed the difference when the race barrier was broken as Penelope was crying for his loss.  This not only applies to the people who were close to Arnold but also the people who simply know about his loss.  Because no matter what people saw him as they understood that like them he was a human.
