Love is so powerful to fail, it only takes time to build up. Our Dad always loved you and I was so glad that your relationship with him has been strong than ever after your marriage.

Because Nnaemeka broke tradition and went against his dad’s wishes. Amazingly, Nene became very strong and tried successfully to restore the broken relationship. She sent a powerful letter to his father in-law who for many years, refused to see her and her children. The letter stated:” …Our two sons, from the day they learnt that they have a grandfather, have insisted on being taken to him. I find impossible to tell them that you will not see them.” (par 41, pge 251). …show more content…

    In addition, while he grew closer to his father in general, he would start to view his father as a burden when he was close to dying. Even though he tried to bury that deep within him, as his father grew weaker near the end, they started surfacing more and more, but for brief periods of time. One example would be on page 107 when it says “But my heart was heavy. I was aware that I was doing it grudgingly.” Another example is on page 111 when he writes “He was right, I…

His epiphany made him realize how really important family and friends were.All the beauty he found, every skill he learned, and discoveries about himself he made didn’t matter, because he had no one to share it with. He wouldn’t have thought this way had he not gone on the journey. His hate for the dysfunctional relationship between his parents, and his secluded feeling would have kept him separated from his family mentally.

    Essay on the short story: "The Rattler"

    The passage evokes feelings of sympathy by providing details about the man's feelings and thoughts. A scene in which the passage evokes feeling is when the man is out for a walk and he unexpectedly comes upon the snake in middle of the path. The speaker's first instinct "was to let him [the snake] go on his way," and he would go his. This scene serves to vindicate the man from the notion that he went looking for a snake to kill as a hunter would. The passage goes on describe the indecision of the man about whether he should let the snake go or kill it. The man finally decides that "there were children, ...men and women lightly shod at the ranch ...[and his duty] was to kill the snake." Description of the man's indecision coaxes the reader to look upon the man with more sympathy because he had made the decision only because he felt it was his duty; if it weren't for his sense of duty, he might have let the snake go. The passage also arouses sympathy for the man by describing his regrets after he kills the snake. The man buries "him near the close guardianship of the bush. Then for a moment [he] could see him as [he] might have let him go." The man's regret arouses pity in the reader's heart since his genuine regret questions his decision by demanding whether a precious life or one's duty is more important.…

    Once More at the Lake

    When he begins to convince himself that he is living a “dual existence” proves that he is in denial of his life. He states that he is his father and he is his son too. He also states that it was not an entirely new feeling so I believe he was in denial of mortality even before he got to the lake. He is very much confused at this point and is not trying to accept the fact that he is no longer a child, but a grown man. It may also be that his father has passed away and the feeling that he is his father might mortify him and give him a chilly sensation.…

    Compare and Contrast

    In “Once More to the Lake”, White uses a plethora of literary devices to describe his childhood. After taking his son to the spot that he goes visit often throughout his childhood years hit him waves of emotions. Missing his childhood was not the sole reason that hit him but looking at the things his son does reminds him so much of his childhood. White uses various themes and if one reads carefully the theme of Man versus Himself is vividly portrayed in the first paragraph of this essay. White has a conflict within himself when he’s fighting to not accept the fact that he is the father not the son. His denial of his own morality clearly shows his internal conflict. “You remember one thing, and that suddenly reminds you of another thing”(White 233). For him travelling back to the lake is the same as travelling back in time. While he walks along memory lane White keeps and keeps revealing more and more things from his past. The placidity of the lake, the smell of the lumber from the bed, the shadows of the pines along the shore and how he used to be the first person to woke up in the cabin and leaves silently to not wake the others up. The more white discovers the harder it his for him to accept the fact that he is now in the position of his father. He wants to deny the fact that now he is a father who’s bring his son to this lake. It was an emotional…

    Having a dad

    We all strive for attention and affection, whether it is from family, friends, or a random individual. But earning the attention of the ones we wish to love shouldn’t be hard, especially if it’s a family. “Patching Holes” is a story by Andi Long, which describes her relationship and daily life with her cold hearted father who is somewhat like most dads or father figures I’ve come to know. As a child growing up, I never really had a father figure. For me my father figure is my grandpa, which is weird seeing as he is so much like the father in the story “Patching Holes”, just cold hearted, hardworking and violent. But, he shows small flashes of compassion here and there. I have longed for his attention since I was a child for the simple feeling of having a dad. A father figure is what most people want but a lot of people don’t have.…
