Is This An Overview?
Samuel is a 12-year-old boy, who believes that Samuel can
foresee someone’s death. The observation
started with Samuel’s teacher, Jevins.
Samuel had a bad feeling about Jevins, who was an elderly fellow. Samuel was imagining the death of Jevins, and
felt uncomfortable with those thoughts.
Shortly after, Jevins passed away.
Samuel becomes emotional about Jevins death, having foreseen it
coming.
Samuel’s mother referenced that Samuel was overcome with
emotions when a grandparent passed.
Samuel’s older brother Trevor references something similar with their
father. Their father had a dream of a
cousin’s death, and the cousin died shortly after. Then Samuel has a dream, of Trevor dying
during a forthcoming trip. The parents
use various methods to tell Samuel that Samuel cannot predict when people die,
to not confuse what is real and what is not real. But Samuel cannot let go of the feeling that
something bad is going to happen to Trevor.
What happens to Trevor?
