We need to realize that the Amish are not so simple in their integration. The more fundamentalist may live in the 18th century, but they have been integrated, out of necessity, in some respects, to the modern world. Putting that aside, the story of the young man is quite tragic considering his gifts. The one thing that bothers me is how his body was disposed of. It seems that the guy who pushed him would have just taken off. To move a body and do what was done seems unlikely. There are some tender moments, and it would seem that Brennan learned a few things. She knows so much about the world, but is so clueless when it comes to living in this world.
