As Bellafante analyses the family connections in 24, she inadvertently reveals that the show’s plotline is making a broader statement about what officers and soldiers sacrifice in the line of duty for the sake of our country, and is furthermore making suggesting that the creators of 24 are using the show to express their gratitude. In the first part of Bellafante’s analysis, she describes her realization that the show 24 operates under two different themes. The first theme is the most obvious one, the apocalyptic thriller that the show is based upon. However, there is a subtler, more significant theme hidden within the plotline, and that is the idea of “domestic horrors” (Bellafante 39), upon which she builds the remainder of her analysis. She covers a broad range of events from the series that support this thematic find, explaining, that in the show “[p]arents kill children…husbands abuse wives…sisters try to kill sisters…wives fire husbands-or stab them” (Bellafante 39).

Family was significant in both texts because it influenced the decisions of the characters. Father and son relationships between characters in Night and The Things They Carried played an important role, because it had an impact on how the characters thought and behaved. In Night the relationship that Elie and His father Chlomo shared helped the two of them to survive for so long in the death camps.

At the age of 23, Garcon inspired many people to believe that just because someone comes from a poverty stricken community, it doesn’t mean that they’re entitled to live there forever.
