This passage told of the thoughts that goes through a child’s mind (more particularly, a boy) as he grows. The thoughts he has of his parents change as the boy goesthrough different stages of his life. It begins with the belief that the boy’s parents are the most important people in his life at the beginning of development. He looks tothem as if they are perfect and can do no wrong. He even wants to be just like them one day, more specifically, like his father, since he too is a male. As the boy grows,he gets into situations with his parents that make him believe that his parents aren’t as “perfect” as he thought. He sees other people’s parents and wishes that hisparents had some of those qualities; he isn’t satisfied anymore. With that dissatisfaction, he creates hostile images in his mind, because he can’t get his parents tochange the way he wants them to. But the only person he can realistically be hostile with is his father, because he too is a male. This will lead to him wanting to beaway from his parents (more specifically his father). Soon, he creates fantasies in his mind about how he wants his life to be once he is away from them, and that hewill do whatever he can to achieve that life for himself. (these fantasies are known as daydreams). Another thing he believes might be affecting the way his parentstreat him overall is the fact that he has other siblings. So in his fantasy, he will imagine life without siblings. In all, the things that change a child’s view of his parentsas he ages are; he is frustrated that his parents aren’t the parents he’s always wished to have; the fact that the parent of the same sex doesn’t make that connection withthe child that he needs; that his frustration builds after creating a fantasy life that he knows he can’t have; and lastly, he has siblings in his way of having that perfectlife.
