“The Father” a short story by Hugh Garner presents the protagonist, John Purcell, the father as a selfish, irresponsible, and prejudiced man. During the story when his son Johnny comes downstairs in a pair of flannels and a blazer he seems to show concern as to why Johnny is not wearing his scout uniform, although he is actually concerned as to how this will make him look as a father. As his wife tells him the reason why his son doesn't have the full uniform he wonders angrily “if the scoutmaster

There is no true definition of a father, it is much deeper than just a male parent. A father is not someone who believes that by creating you, he has done his duty in life and does not have any responsibilities. A father is someone who gets up every day to put a roof over your head, making sure there are clothes on your back and putting food on the table. He is emotionally available, supporting you and showing his love for you. He will help you, whether it be for school, teaching you how to parallel

teacher, and role-model; these are all the things that a father should be. Many fathers these days do not feel the need to take on the responsibility of raising a family. Many of the problems we face today are a result of children growing up without a daddy. Many of the drugs, prostitutes, crimes, and gangs would not exist if fathers just did what they were supposed to do. Today we will hear first-hand about growing up without a father from a man who has agreed to share his story. This man will

My father and I have a very open and expressive relationship, one composed of unconditional love, immense support, and great understanding. For me, my father is my support blanket, my closest confident, and my greatest motivation to lead a sincere, and earnest life. It was him that taught me my first words, encouraged me to take my first steps, and constantly forced me to take on challenges, that any other would have discerned. My father and I are extremely close and connected, it his finger that

Oh my Christina! You’re a lucky individual and so is your father. I hope that your father was mentally able to bounce back from that. A good friend of mines is facing a similar problem. He went to rehab because he couldn’t stop drinking and he knew it was a problem. He never got in an accident, but he got pulled over multiple times, receiving DUI’s. Plus, he would make dumb decisions even on foot, like causing fights, taking chances that eventually lead to crimes or even harming himself. Depression

we did. Of course, my father searched for a new job that could sustain us for weeks, but to no avail. My family had begun to lose hope, even with the support we were receiving from the rest of the community. We found hope in one another though, leaning on each other for

quiet that I could hear the crackling of the hot embers, and the scent of the pine wood, burning under the bright flame filled my nose. I felt so happy that my father might be able to stay with us for a whole two weeks. We rarely get to see him because of him being a mover for a moving company. I looked at my father, who looked as though he was going to say something very desperately. Then he spoke.“Lilly,Therisa, I just wanted to let you two know that I’ll be going on another trip tomorrow

Mr. Vasser, Thank you for the time you set aside to share information you did about my father. Any information helps the healing process. 20 years of estrangement leaves many questions unanswered. Only rarely would I see the man after he and my mother divorced. I played baseball, basketball and football throughout High School... he never attended a single game. Despite this, and future efforts, he showed no interest. That said, his decision to disinherit his children from the will does not

Hello Roua, I’ll just jump into it: I misjudged you and was idiotically letting my father influence me; I should’ve thought independently and looked at the facts for myself. As a child, I saw you as a half sister who wasn’t a legitimate part of the family but you saw me as your little brother, regardless of who’s son I was. You took me in, made me your endeared brother and cared for me, but I always showed you the worst side of me with contempt; showed me love & care but I only replied with hate

tribute is a important person in my life my father he's a wise man very talented in everything he does. He's a hard worker whose family come first he has green eyes always with a flat top type of look hair cut. Quite tall for his age still in great shape when ever I tell him he's old he replies,”I still feel like i'm 15 years young.” A great character he has knowing the right from wrong showing to be a good role model. I couldn't of had asked for a better father. The life lesson taught to me was “don't

world appears technicolor, everything is so bright. The sun is shining, it’s June the 9th, my fifth birthday. “Daddy’s big girl. I have loved you, I have always loved you, from the very second I laid eyes on you. You are unlucky to have me as your father, as I was unlucky with my parents and I am sorry, for I have already failed you and I will keep failing you but I know one day you will forgive me and I know one day if there is a God, which there is, he will send you a love

My father has always been in the military. He has been for 25 years now. I have been so lucky to stay in Yellowknife for 8 years, to be in one place for longer than 4 years. So lucky that my dad decided to choose his family over his job, put us first, and became a reservist in the air force. This means that he stays wherever he is, and doesn’t get posted anywhere else unless he wants to get moved. The other reservist guys have been here for 15-20 years. As such, my family has not moved out of Yellowknife

We all have someone to call a parent it may be your biological, adoptive, or someone you see as your mom and dad. But have you ever wonder what they have sacrificed for you? In this speech I’m paying tribute to my parents who gave up their dreams to take care of me. I have a very good bond with my parents. They have a very good heart and I always have respected them, but I never knew what my mom and dad wanted to be when they were my age because they never had a chance to finish school. Both had

“Being a single mother is not about what you have gave up to have a child, but what you have gained from having one”. This is an anonymous quote that I have found on the internet, and it speaks to my heart. On September 30, 2014, my son made his appearance into the world. When he was born, Bentley had several medical issues, which means that Bentley now has to go to the doctor three times a week to get three shots until he is three years old. Caring for Bentley has taught me energy, patience, and

In honor of Father’s Day I want to share with you SIX THINGS MY DAD TAUGHT ME as his eldest daughter after having three boys. My Dad respected me as a girl, but he didn’t keep that from letting me do things that my brothers did. I was the rough and tumble little girl tagging along with my brothers. I was the one who was told to not tell Momma about the makings of the homemade wild cherry wine going on in the basement. No, I didn’t try it and I don’t believe my brothers did either at least I hope

Amir’s relationship with his father is a complex one. On a hand, Amir admires his father and is proud to have as his father. On another hand, he hates his father because he feels like he is incapable of amounting to (meeting up with/ rising to/ fulfilling) his father’s expectations. Amir said: “Most days, I worship Baba with an intensity approaching the religious. Butright then, I wished I could open my veins and drain his cursed blood from my body.” (Hosseini, 2003, p. 32). Thus, the turmoil Amir

Both short stories, The Father and The Rehearsal effectively show how poor communication between the parent and the child strains the relationship. The two stories have strong similarities and minor differences in the way the issue is presented. In both pieces the fathers similarly don’t understand how they make their sons feel and when it’s necessary to give them space. A quote to represent this from The Father would be “Leave me alone, daddy please! The boy cried, breaking away from him and running
