Under the Influence
Under the Influence was a good essay to read. I think that it shows what alcohol can do to a person. The narrator talked about how his fathers drinking affected him and his family. He talked about when he was a ten that he failed his father and blamed himself when his dad drank. Now that he is older and has children of his own, he spares them of what his dad did. In the end of the story he talks about how he stays away from where all the alcohol is, but that he occasionally has a few drinks and when he does he listens for a turning of a key.

Yes, i think he has a big fear to become a drunker himself. But he cannot stay away from dinks at all, becuase he has friends, and sometimes he wants to enjoy his life also.
ReplyDeletei think its a good and bad thing he had to deal with his fathers situation because now he knows what his kids are thinkin when he is going through pain of his own. its good that he recognizes his childrens guilt when hes doing something wrong because he can stop them from feeling that guilt.
