Response:

I didn't really understand the story. It was hard for me to follow what was going on, and what the story was even about. I believe the story was mainly about a son and his father's relationship. The father and son do not have a good relationship, it is stated that the father is abuseive. Many refrences are made to the hands of the father, hitting and smacking.
