I think it was an elaborate scheme of the brothers to make the parents flip their lids. I can imagine the big brother telling balloon boy, "Go hide and I'll cut the balloon loose and tell Mom and Dad you were in it! HA HA HAAAA!"
It's probably not as funny as he thought it would be now ;).
I'm honestly thinking he would have fell out...otherwise I would imagine him running to safety from being so scared.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
