“Reunion” by John Cheever is a short story about Charlie who hasn’t seen his father since his parents’ divorce. So on his way back to his mother’s house he schedules a lunch with his father.

It is a relationship where one is the superior and the other is the oppressed. Even though one would say that being a teacher is a very humanitarian career; when one uses the banking system one is actually dehumanizing.
