Yes, I believe that the author, Olive Ann Burns, has been successful with making Aunt Loma an unsympathetic character. I believe this because throughout the book she hasn't really cared about anyone else but herself, only doing things to please herself or to make someone else mad. The first example that had really popped out to me, is where she had walked in after will had gotten ran over by the train. “Aunt Loma looked furious. She didn’t so much as ask how I was feeling. Why would my getting run over make her so mad? Maybe she was mad because I’d lived to tell it. But for once it wasn’t me she was mad at.”. What I had gathered from this piece of evidence is that Loma was usually mad at Will, and seeing as how he's just a kid that’s not right.
