The relationship between a father and his son, are supposed to be one of the strongest relationships there is. The father is a role model and provides for his son the best he can, while the son helps the family, and makes his parents proud. Usually, this is not the case, nowadays, the son tends to be lazy, while the father stresses himself out. Or, the father leaves the family, which forces the mother to step up to provide income, making the son the "man" of the family. My relationship with my father shares many similarities, but also many differences with the relationship of Biff and his father, Willy. I do believe however, that the relationship between my father and myself, is a much better relationship than Biff and Willy's. In many ways my father is similar to Willy, except for the whole wanting to kill himself part. Willy was always on road and worked almost all day, well my father is the same way, sometimes he even leaves before I get up and returns after I go to bed. In both cases, the father provides the income for the family. …show more content…
My father and I fight sometimes, not as often as Willy and Biff, and never is it physical.
Most of the time it is over stupid stuff, like one of us trying to upset the other, which usually works. I believe that both my father and Willy wanted Biff and I to carry out the dreams they had, but never had the chance to do themselves. Biff played football, which he loved, and his father was upset when Biff was unable to play in college. For me, it was wrestling, my father forced me to wrestle when I was younger, I did well, but hated it. He loved wrestling and my older brother wrestled before me, so I guess my brother wanted me to wrestle as well. I'm not sure if he knew, whether or not I liked wrestling, but he never really asked either. The day I decided to stop, he was disappointed, but he was understanding and respected my
decision. Our relationships have some differences, for example, Willy and Biff are honest with each other, about as much as my father and I lie to each other. Sometimes it happens, but it is seldom and is never anything major. My father always told me that there would be less of a consequence if I told a truth, rather than lying and being caught. I also believe that I help my father a lot more than Biff helped Willy. I'm always helping my father work on his trucks, while it didn't seem that Biff did a whole lot, except stealing building materials, or carrying some bags from the car every once in a while. The relationship between father and son, should be one of the strongest relationships there are. Biff and Willy do not have a very good relationship, and I believe that my father and myself do. This is the major difference between my relationship with my father and Biffs relationship with his.
