Persuasive Speech On Father Son Relationships

Improved Essays
Very little has been said about father and son relationships in MGTOW, and I feel acknowledging this father/son bond or lack thereof is paramount to carving a different future for men and generations of men to come.

However, if the role of fathers that preceded the changing role of these men is left unaddressed in service to unravel the effect …show more content…
Never mind that everything he enjoys such as clothes on his back, electricity bill, shelter, tuition, groceries, that new bike, and more were all made happened by the blood and sweat sacrificed but never seen. Many sons who speak favorably of their fathers compared their mothers would still leave room for the listening ear to notice the distance and the loosened edges the words used in describing his father creates; words that does very little to shorten the distance he feels towards the man who raised him. Some men, without holding back, would spell out the strictness with which their fathers rule his household and how on those occasions he suffers the punishments his father dishes, care and nurture are there to be found only under the mother’s gentle caressed hands and warm bosom. And then there are those men who’d tell you of their father’s anger that never fail to rise with the sun at dawn or set with it when he gets back from work. Some would account for ways their fathers lash out at the most inoffensive remarks or gesture. Then with heavy hearts accompanied by sad facial expressions, other men would

    In "Fathering in America: What's a Dad Supposed to Do?," Marie Hartwell-Walker observes that no matter the kind of family situation children are in, fathers are a critical part of their child's lives. Walker displays the majority of how men can father their children, but there is so much more to the important role of being their father in the child's lives. Many have heard that having a strong male influence is important in a young boy's life, but it's equally important for a daughter to have one as well. Throughout the essay, Walker repeatedly notes that more fathers are absent for all or significant periods of time of their child's life. This can either be because the fathers are unable to provide for them financially, are prohibited from seeing them, or because their father's relationship with their mother didn’t go well.…

    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…

    Parents and their children hold a very distinct relationship with each other. Parents are predestined to guide their child, and to show the support that the child needs to fulfill their potential. The manner in which a parent raises a child is subjective for every parental figure as well; they will undoubtedly enforce what they believe to be morally correct, without regard to what other individuals may believe. However, whether the connection is between a mother and a child, a father and a child, or both: the bond between these individuals is entirely more profound than friendship, and therefore, more vulnerable to difficulty. Texts such as “The Boat” by Alistair Macleod, “Warren Pryor” by Alden Nowlan, and “Like Him” by Aaron Smith explore…

    The speaker in the poem “My Father Is A Simple Man” learned from his father that there is not much need for greatness and the importance of hard work. The speaker expresses his high regard for his father when he compliments him by saying “I can always remember that there was a man who was a worker and provider”. I felt the speaker really implied that it was important to him/her to have a father who was willing to work hard. The speaker also made it clear that not only was it important to be a hard worker but a person should not be seeking outside glory when he said “there is no need for fanfare, or applause when he leaves (dies).” I understood this when he said “I shall have learned what little there is about greatness.”…
