from the father to the son, hence, nature. The nurture aspect comes into play by the father being active in the boy’s life and doing things, such as bringing him to baseball practice (Yu p.185). However, the protagonist, Charles, does not live a life worth bragging about: right before the young boy hits a fly ball out of the park, he watches his father fail at doing the only thing both him and his father know—building the time machine (Yu p.185). Charles’s nurture consists of his father placing…
