    John Updike, author of “Son,” uses an unusual structure of writing to convey a very important point in his story. His story relates to the relationship between a father and a son and uses many generations in his own family as examples. In his story, Updike writes about his feelings and thoughts about having a teenage son and then goes on explaining how his father felt about him and how his father felt about him, and so on. When he first talks about his teenage son, he makes sure that he states the date because the goal of him writing in this order is not to confuse the reader but so that the reader goes in depth in understanding the beliefs and attitudes that are passed down from generation to generation. Updike introduces his story by…
