While Robbie prepares to “run away” his father is busy recalling memories of how his grandmother had not been angry with him when he messes and how she taught him that “from a child is beautiful, anything.” Remembering this, the fathers attitude towards his son is now happy and grateful, a big change from mad and frustrated. Robbie’s father started out being impatient with Robbie. After a few memories though, that all changed. He knew exactly what Robbie was going through, and he knew how much it
Victor’s first recollections are of his, "mother’s tender caresses", and his, "father’s smile of benevolent pleasure" (page 33). They regard him as being, "bestowed on them by heaven", and recognise that his future, "was in their hands to direct to happiness or misery". He also tells Walton that his mother and father felt that they, "owed" something to him because they had given him life. At the age of seven, having moved to Geneva with his family, he meets Henry Clerval with whom he becomes great friends, although it is interesting to note that he chooses not to mix with the other local children. At the beginning of chapter two, Victor describes his childhood thus:
Ruth realized that as much as she loved cooking that it made her under appreciate her father and not take time to learn about him or his interest because cooking was the big thing to her and her mother in their family. Doug learned that he didn’t have the family structure as Ruth did and he always yearned for family would listen and talk to him about his accomplishes and things he enjoyed. Ruth’s whole outlook on this chapter is to inform us about a part in her life as she does in every other chapter. It’s very hard to relate with Ruth’s made point in this chapter because I have never experienced a feeling like Ruth has. So I cannot really relate to how she feels.
Initially, Lipshaw did not want to put the touch on his Grandpa, but did it out of respect for his Grandma “soon after he began stepping out” (p. 8). This idea of gratitude is expressed right in the first paragraph; Lipshaw was found in a slough and was rescued by his Grandma when he was a child, who adopts him. He became very grateful to his Grandma and let us know he “would do anything for Grandma”. The grandma holds this over his head whenever she needs help from him. Grandma wanted the touch put on her husband so he would stop stepping out to be with Lamartine, to bring her the love she never experienced with him.
Charlie realizes how badly his family treated him as well, but instead of making sure there is still distance between them, he decides to find them. After the meeting and reconciliation with his mother and especially his sister, he admitted, “unless I forgave Rosa, I will have nothing” (276). He knew all those bad experiences and memories were hurting him, and forgiveness would bring him peace. The meeting brought up many of those painful memories, but the reconciliation with his sister gave him the opportunity to make better memories now that they could become part of each other’s lives, even after the surgery would wear off. He got closure and perspective, and that continued after the effects of the surgery wore off.
“The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.” -Steve Maraboli. Forgiveness is difficult to do, but it brings a kind of peace that helps you go on with life. In Courageous, Nathan goes to his father’s grave and forgives him for walking out of his life. Every child needs a fatherly figure in his or her life, because he will set the tone for their future. It's important for a father to be a good role model because children almost always look up to their dad, and make decisions based on how he would have handled it.
