Walking backwards
The father, a man I thought to be cold and strong shows a vulnerable side. Walking through the rooms of his old house leaves him paralyzed. Memories return to his mind as he tries to isolate the complaining words of his son. Tries to focus on the house, the rooms. He wishes it would return. The peace. The little boy in constant suffering tries to hide and find shelter in his dad, only to find that they are equally scared. Ironic how some people hope for disasters to occur so they can prove points of view and try new technology while human beings are actually suffering. Even worse how both of these characters have to be hiding to survive. Why is it that humans can't help each other survive? Life would be much easier if we all helped each other. Take the dad and the son as an example. They have to be very cautious with every step they take because if they don't, they might be harmed and robbed. If it was safe, the father could take better care of the child and he could be helped. What kinds of humans live around us? Is it worth having friends and counting on them? Who survives and who doesn't? Survival of the fittest. Do i think it's fair? No. A child the future of the world has to be protected. His father protects him, making him an easy target. He has an extra weight while others are running carelessly. If the father is harmed, the little boy might survive. For how long? As i turn the pages of the book i start doubting humanity even more. Is there someone to trust? Time will tell... i hope.
