Hey Kevin,
You should read this book called "A Balance Between Nature and Nurture" by Gloria Steinem. It's a pretty good read and not the longest article I've read. I recommend this article as it talks about changing your perspective and view about modern society and I think it would pique your interest.
Yours truly,

Answer:
The storyteller plays a vital role by providing them with a mission they can believe in and devote themselves to.
Explanation:
No, students shouldn't be allowed to have pets at school. Though many students love the thought of pets by their sides, it can be a distraction and many students that have allergies to pets. Imagine sitting in a classroom taking a test, and pets start going crazy, barking or causing a scene. Or students rubbing their eyes or sneezing at the shedding of fur. Students could also start playing with their pets and become distratced from their teachers. In conclusion, students may love pets at their side and may think it would be better, but in the end it would be a pretty bad idea.
Answer: his brother.
Reason: By the way you phrased the question I am assuming that the author is also a part of the story. Since the author is part of the story, and therefore a character, he can not know about his father when he was younger, only narrators can do that. Also the same goes for the grandfather. Since the author is also a part of the story, most probably the main character, he would not refer to himself in third person. Therefore through process of elimination his brother in the only possible option left.
