At the end of the episode Phil talks to Wills father and finds out his father is leaving him and isn't coming back and Phil embraces him with a hug as will cries his eyes out. The Communication pattern in this episode was family dispute. And the communication situation that went wrong was Life transitions. This was a major even in wills life, seeing his father after 15 years and being left all over again was not just going to hurt Will but it hurt his uncle Phil as well because he had to watch someone he sees as a Son hurt again as he has already been through this situation once. Because Wills father was not willing to to have an adaptive relationship and be involved and be honest and tell him why he was leaving this cause the relationship to become dead to Will causing this chapter to close. But because his father walked away it caused a great moment for him and his uncle Phil to grow closer and for him to realize that his uncle Phil only wanted what was best for
Throughout his life, the only relationship he was able to maintain was with his sister. On the other hand, his relationship with his parents was very strained; At one point he declared that his "entire childhood seem like a fiction"(123) due to his dad’s infidelity.
When the man and boy meet people on the road, the boy has sympathy for them, but his father is more concerned with keeping them both alive. The boy is able to get his father to show kindness to the strangers (McCarthy), however reluctantly the kindness is given. The boy’s main concern is to be a good guy. Being the good guy is one of the major reasons the boy has for continuing down the road with his father. He does not see there is much of a point to life if he is not helping other people. The boy wants to be sure he and his father help people and continue to carry the fire. The boy is the man’s strength and therefore courage, but the man does not know how the boy worries about him how the boy’s will to live depends so much on his
This event becomes the seed of all other problems that come to exist in the story. It is detrimental to the foundation of their family. The opening line is the greatest metap...
“[He] looked across at his father and wondered just how he was going to tell him. It was a very serious thing.” This point of view demonstrates how nervous the boy is to tell his father that a close friend, Bill Harper, was arriving the next day to fish with him. The boy sits next to the fire and parries the idea of divulging his innocent plan. He knows that things are changing in his life and that eventually he must leave his father and create a new life with new social requirements, demonstrated by this quote: “He knew it was something that had to happen sometime. Yet he also knew that it was the end of something.” The boy goes on the wonder, “It was an ending to a beginning and he wondered just how he should tell his father about it.” The boy’s thoughtful attitude exhibits a bond between father and son and a relationship of respect. The boy wonders if it is also a relationship of
Although finding food was a struggle for them, the man always put the boy’s health before his. The man made sure the boys thirst and hunger was always gone and that he had food to eat and drinks to drink. “He took the can and sipped it and handed it back. You drink it, he said. Let's just sit here.” (Page 27). In this quote, the man gave the boy the last of the soda but the boy got upset that the man didn’t take any, so the man took a sip and proceeded to give it to the boy. This is important because the father knows that he’s thirsty and could kill for a drink, but he knows that this is the first and last soda the boy would ever get. “He'd found a last half packet of cocoa and he fixed it for the boy and then poured his own cup with hot water and sat blowing at the rim.” (Page 18). This quote shows us too that the man always made sure that the boy got the better part of the deal. The boy got to drink cocoa but the man just drank hot water. The father does this because he got to live through his childhood without this apocalyptic world but the boy only lived a few years that he really doesn’t remember. These quotes show paternal love because they explain how the father always puts the son before him. Through all of the actions the father takes, it shows us how much he really cares about the son, and that his son is his only hope and his fire for
The two characters come to the realization that they do share a brotherly bond, and that the narrator cares deeply for his brother even after all the time apart. The narrator says, “I don’t give a damn wh...
When a boy’s father dies, the impact of this can be very traumatic. When a death happens, a very large piece of one’s life dies with it. Adam Cooper’s father is a very important character in this novel. The presence of Adam’s father, Moses, shows how Adam is still a boy under the thumb of an adult, yet, when Moses is killed on the common, his absence propels Adam into a new phase of his life. At Moses Cooper’s death, the men of the village are lined up in formation on the common. Not one man in that group expected to fight the British. However, the British opened fire upon the column of villagers. The first to perish is Moses Cooper. Adam sees this, but he does not have time to mourn just yet. Adam runs from the common, away from the Redcoats, and to the first refuge he can find. The first shelter he finds is the smokehouse. It is at this point after the massacre on the common that Adam finally has time to think about what happens. The reality finally sets in, and Adam lets out his emotions.
That families should never fall down and never get back up when there is rough times. “Oh God, Master of the universe, give me the strength to never do what Rabbi Eliahou's son has done. (Wiesel 91) The main character, eliezer, sees this and prays that it doesn't happen to him, Because he loves his father and he wants to stay loyal and stay committed to him.This act shows how not giving up and staying positive is really important to survive in these type of situation. Also not giving up on each other is really important because if one of the family members give up on you then it is going to be hard to move forward and to stay together as much as possible. Families should always think of what is best for the whole family. Families should alway sacrifice for the good of another to make the situation better. “I had no right to let myself die. What would he do without me? I was his sole support”. (Wiesel 87) That Eliezer chose to stay by his father’s side out of love, loyalty, and commitment to his father. So he stays with his father for the good of both of them Eliezer sacrifice a little of his time to be with his father to guard him so that he would not get in any more hurt than what he was originally. That sacrificing something that is that little can go for a long way. Families should always be thinking of what is better at that time of the situation. That they should be sacrificed on what they love the most
The Collier brothers also use a full paragraph description to describe fathers experience in war to show that war can divide and destroy families. This paragraph is important because in this scene father is trying to convince Sam to drop out of the army. If this scene had never happened Sam would probably not visit home as much because this scene shows that father loves and cares about Sam, because he is trying to convince him to not put his life on the line by participating in the war. This shows that war can separate family members for long periods of time if they are not accepted back because of their choice.
He also learned that even though he lost his father he still has a lot of love coming his way between his mother and grandparents. Oskar’s grandmother lost her sister when she was young and this is the lesson she is writing to Oskar in a letter, “There was never a right time to say it. It was always unnecessary. The books in my father’s shed were sighing. The sheets were rising and falling around me with Anna’s breathing.
“…so that his leaving us was also partly a protest against me for letting him down; but I was only eight years old, and then how can I compare my own strength of will, particularly as a child, to the superhuman tenacity which my brother showed throughout his life?” (Page 12)
...son, he wanted to make sure that his son would grow up in this world that he wants to bring back. He won’t stop at anything until he has begun this new rebirth of his world. His society had constricted his individual potential to the extent where he couldn’t even use the word “I”. When he ran away from the so-called utopia, he was finally free to do his own will.
With the son’s fear amongst the possibility of death being near McCarthy focuses deeply in the father’s frustration as well. “If only my heart were stone” are words McCarthy uses this as a way illustrate the emotional worries the characters had. ( McCarthy pg.11). Overall, the journey of isolation affected the boy just as the man both outward and innerly. The boys’ journey through the road made him weak and without a chance of any hope. McCarthy states, “Ever is a long time. But the boy knew what he knew. That ever is no time at all” (McCarthy pg. 28). The years of journey had got the best of both, where they no longer had much expectation for
At first the relationship between a father and his son can be perceived as a simple companionship. However, this bond can potentially evolve into more of a dynamic fitting relationship. In The Road The Man and his son have to depend on one another because they each hold a piece of each other. The Man holds his sons sense of adulthood while the son posses his father’s innocence. This reliance between the father and son create a relationship where they need each other in order to stay alive. “The boy was all that stood between him and death.” (McCarthy 29) It is evident that without a reason to live, in this case his son, The Man has no motivation to continue living his life. It essentially proves how the boy needs his father to love and protect him, while the father needs the boy to fuel ...
A significant relationship in this text is the relationship between will and Marcus, will and Marcus develop a relationship throughout the text that help them function as human beings.
