In most families, the role of a parent depends solely upon the relationship that they have with their children. In Alan McMonagle short story entitled Liar Liar, the author portrays the main character of the story—the father— as the epitome of a great man, in the eyes of his naive son. The main theme of Alan McMonagle’s short story Liar Liar is relationships. In the story, the father uses the gangster western films to communicate with his son in order to fulfill the desires of escaping his worrisome life, not being aware of the repercussions that may exist. This is portrayed in the story through the use of characterization of the father figure, incorporating American Gangster Film values and morals in juxtaposing the father’s actions and the first person narrative by the son helps the reader all demonstrate the importance of family, identity, and one’s underlying desire to escape. In Alan McMonagle’s Liar Liar, the father’s approachable state becomes solely dependent on his alcohol addiction, which renders more difficult the relationship between the son and his father. According the son’s perspective, the father is seen as an exemplary character due to the boy’s immature brain’s inability to see the underlying flaws of adults—his old man in this case— as he is simply a child. Consequently, this emotional blindness causes the son to see his father as a joyous man as he is described to always be happier when he walks home with a brown paper bag in his hands late at night…
