Conflicts (9)

In the book there is allot of tension created throughout everything. The author shows this throughout his writings by showing the hatred and the strong tension between the boy and his father. The father in this story role is a very dominate character. He definitely chooses to show he is the stronger one, mainly by taking the boy and pushing him underwater in the tub. This right here shows the struggles from power differences and the struggle of vulnerability and understanding. This all seems to change once the babysitter gets into the mix. She set the boundary from dominance and powerless.
