Not being able to do anything the hero accepts regret and wishes he had shown some action as he would appreciate someone doing the same for his own son.
I agree that Amir is different, but I also believe that his father shouldn’t treat him differently just because he doesn’t enjoy the things most boys his age enjoy. His father should learn to accept Amir for who he is and what he likes rather than comparing him to other boys his age. Chapter 4 Why does Amir lie about the word meaning of the imbecile? Amir lies about the word imbecile to show the
The passage also underscores the underlying difference in morality between the man and the boy. To the man, his killing is justified because it was committed in the act of saving his son, a responsibility he says (and may well believe) was assigned to him by God. The boy, however, is concerned about the nature of the act, regardless of the circumstances. He wonders whether, having murdered someone, they can still be considered the good guys. This seed of doubt is evident in the boy's mind, since he must ask the question at all, but the father unequivocally still considers them good, or at least wants to reassure his son that he feels that way, protecting his son at all

I had never thought it possible.’ At that point was when Chlomo and Elie’s relationship changed as Chlomo relies on Elie in order to get through the rough times they had ahead in the camps. Regardless of Elie’s support for his father, Chlomo’s growing reliance on him does force Elie to view his father as a burden from time to time. Elie feels like its his responsibility to look after his father but its weighing him down. Elie is still a young boy and finds it hard to even help himself. ‘If only I was relieved of this responsibility, I could use all my strength to fight for my own survival, to take care only of myself.’ They are all bashed, starved, abused.
These two men show the qualities of friendship by being honest and loyal to each other. No matter what the situation is their friendship always comes first, even though they have a little greed within them, they do not let it control them.

Howard shows his selflessness when he goes to help the little boy Indian boy at the camp, not knowing what may happen to him while he is gone. He thinks about the boy instead of himself.
Willy Loman is stubborn. He can’t stand it if anyone is saying something that doesn’t fit to his own ideas or thoughts. Another mistake Willy Loman makes is that he expects too much from everyone. Starting with himself and his son Biff. He can’t accept bad things told about his son, although they’re true.
If a young boy does not have the opportunity of growing up with a strong fatherly figure, his actions will probably not be as considerate towards others, but instead will be more out of control, like his father’s. Again, this happens because sons look up to their fathers, and try to imitate them; if the father is not chivalrous, the son will most likely not be either. Furthermore, Pollack then goes to say, “…fathers frequently show that they care and nurture their sons through action” (120). If a young boy sees his father acting with
