Wonder
On the following continuums how would you describe:
· Julian and his friend’s treatment of Jack? (p.197) unwarranted, unsympathetic, cruel, vicious, brutal
· Julian and his friend’s treatment of Jack? (p.197) unwarranted, unsympathetic, cruel, vicious, brutal
I think all of these fit. Perhaps unwarranted might fit best. It depends on how you measure their behaviour: they were not very nice.
