Why was Ezra so upset about being gifted the puppy?
So far at this point of the story it seems Ezra still doesn't even believe that he will survive the high radiation dosages he has already been exposed to. From the beginning of the book to now Ezra has been acting as if he was attempting to prepare himself mentally for death, trying to make it easier, the window for example. I am thinking that he did not want the puppy because he was afraid of having something that he would come to love and then have to leave. Since he had a dog, from when Nyle first saw him through the hall way, and he likes Caleb, you get the impression he likes dogs. So, not liking the puppy couldn't have been a possibility. Not wanting to have to lose something else he loved, like his father, was most likely the reason for his dramatic reactions.
