He is a nice brother because when Kenny said "I hate listening to Joey whining when I take all that junk off her at school" (page51). That's when Byron finally gave up and was tired of listening to him whine so he said" well listen here I'm going to help you out"(page51). I feel that Byron can be mean, but there are lots of times when his nice side shows. For example like when he threw a Swedish cookie at a bird but when he hit it, he hit it right in the chest and killed it, but after he knew for sure it was dead he started to cry (page83). He told Kenny to go away so he wouldn't see him cry but when Kenny got back there in the place the bird had died there was a tiny grave with two pop sickles sticks that were crossed together to look like a cross that's when Kenny made the statement "leave it to daddy smooth to kill a bird then give a funeral"(page85).
Some ways that Byron plays it off is when he thought that they were on welfare he made Kenny go and sign for the food. while Kenny was signing he saw Byron "disappeared around the comic book rack"(page77). I feel that byron is a nice person but cant let anyone know so he has to be tough and make fun his brother because he is smart or because he is cross eyed. For example when Kenny said "I bet we look like a solar system, with me being the sun and Byron being the orbiting earth"(page51). Byron is a cool person when he wants to be or when he is not around BupHead or any of his friends. When they got to Birmingham Kenny could alresdy tell that he was going to drive Grandma Sands crazy. when Byron caught kenny looking at him he said the statement"what the hell you looking at listen here im just going to do wat i have to do around because i anit going to have her death on my hands"(page161). " shes so old she probably steped over dinosaur turds"(page161).
I think that byron is a real cool person and would be even more cool if he was honest and let everyone know that he really does love his brother and his sister.
