I think there realationship is different from others because of the work his father has to do although he loves the animals he know what the future holds for them. When they were loading up the animals to go the the slauter house his father stood still.(p.126)Because he knows what he has to do for his family.
They both live on a farm and raise food, and the father dosnt seem to care for the ponies " cant work them , can't ride them, cant eat them. Useless." they both have different opinions about the horses. The son knows that useless is his worst insult "useless was the worst insult in his vocabulary" although he did show that he likes them in the end. i guess im trying to say that the hoarses are the main reason why. all quotes page 120
I think their relationship is different because the father is uncomfortable around his son. I think that the father was a kid, his own dad didn't show much affection. I think the father would like to get closer to his son, my evidence from this sentance on page 125, "What makes them run like that?". I think the father is trying to use these horses to get close to his son as well.
Another quote that supports my theory is when the father says "You'd like to have one, I bet. Wouldn't you boy?" makes me think he is trying to get closer to his son by seeing what he likes.
I think the relationship is different because the father and the son are so different. The boy wants to have fun and his father is more uptight. He cares for the animals like the boy but he knows he has to kill them this part really communicates that. "When they were all embarked, when for the moment his work was done, his face fell slack and dull and his shoulders slumped. And for a brief instand he stood still, motionless as I had never seen him. It was as though a breaker somewhere insde him had popped, and he had been shut off."
Because The father might think that hes being to nice to the kid. And maybe wants to see what he can do. "Whats good a fence that dosnt go all the way around?'
I think that there relationship is different Because they act completely different. The boys fatehr said that ponys are "stupid and worthless" and he siad " first on on our property i kill". But on the other hand the boy loves the horses and wants to have one he feeds them and fixs there fence and alot of other things to help them.
I think that the father decided to raise his son in a different way than a lot of parents choose to. It seems as if that the father is an only parent, therefor, the father only has himself to teach his son as much as he can. He teaches his son lessons by making him do almost impossible tasks, for example, on page 125 where it says, "He swept his eyes along the fence. Wire's in pretty bad shape, he said. Bastards aren't doing their job. Looks like we'll have to do it for them." To show that he teached his son in a way with almost impossible task I looked at the quote on page 127 where it says, "Most days I hated them as they leaned their slight weight against the fence, their ribs showing."
I think the father and sons realtionship is so different because apart from being son and father they also have to be business partners and make their farm succeed. I think the quote "It wasn't our problem to solve"(P.123) shows how when the boy references the problem at hand for the farm, he says it is his and his father's fence, not just his fathers. I think the father also thinks of them as business partners because when talking about the fence he says "Looks like we'll have to do it for them." I think it shows this because even though the boy does all the work fixing the fence, the father refers to it as both of them fixing it. I think this shows how being not only father and sone but also business partners makes their realtionship very different than the average father/son realtionship. -Agatha Period 3
I think that the father and sons realationship is different than others because the father and sons relationship was more of a partnership than a family relation ship. Because "Generally i was better at keeping track of him than he was" (Pg 124). It seems that he is keeping something from him and that he was being more secluded from each other him in the feilds and the boy on the fence. But there is som string of a father son relationship because when he says "He shucked off the pair of heavy leather White Mule work gloves he was wearing and tossed them to me. I caught one in the air and the other fell to the ground, You keep the fence in shape Then." (PG. 125) he was giving him a chance to show him that he can work hard and care for something. Brett N. P.4
Because they have different interests and look at life in different ways. His father doesn't like miniture horses,"Can't work them, can't ride them, can't eat them. Useless." "More of the midgets." The son wants a minature horse but the dad doesn't think his son understands how much work there is to take care of a horse.
The boy wants to please his father but he likes the horses while the dad doesnt. I think that the dad wants to seem tough but wants to become closer to the boy.One qoute I had was " You would like to have one wouldn't you boy." My second quote was " Playing, is that right."
I think that they are so different because they never spend time with each other and because his father is kind of a mean person r he seems to be. " First horse on our property, I Kill"
I think that the dad has a rep for being some big bad guy who is soo tough and stuff and he doesn't want his kid to think he's a sissy. OR another thought is that maybe the dad is so harsh because he doesn't want his father to turn out like himself. So by being mean, this will make the kid think its wrong to do so. Period 5
I think it's because they're not close at all as a family because neither of them seems to like the other. The son is kind of scared of his dad like when he likes the horses but he was so sure his dad was going to kill them.(I waited for him to kill her. She continued to drag him, a foot, a yard, and at last he fell down. He fell right on his a** in the snow, my old man, the Remington held high above his head.) His dad also makes him fix the fences all the time and he obviously doesn't like doing it. (This is your fence to fix! I called. I pounded my hand against the loose top wire. These here are your horses!)
i think that the relationship between the father and the son are so different because they dont spend much bonding time together unless they are talking about the farm but they have totally different opinions on the farm. also i think he wants his kid to grow up a different way and be a hard worker so he is more strict.
I think there relationship is different because the boy loves hores and the dad hates them and "thinks there usless". "More of the midgets" He doesnt like the minnature horses.
I think the relationship is different because the boy respects his dad (unlike most of the current kid and young adult population). The boy probably is a little scared of him but he does respect his father.
I thnk it's different because the boy and the dad live on a farm, and the dad is trainging the boy to have respect, trustworthiness, and other skills to be able to run a farm. And also he needs to be strict because that is how they make their money.Like when the dad is telling him that the horses are nothing good. And also showing him the lessons, by making him fix the fence.
I think that the kid thinks that the ponies would be fun to play with considering he is a child and the father just thinks his son needs to grow up and help him on the farm like on page 121 he says he likes the sorrel "Cinnamon" the best and he seems excited about the mini horses
I think the Father and Son have a different relationship then some, because they don't talk that much. So, I don't know how they would bond. They work on the farm a lot, and the Son loves horses. The Father doesn't. On page 121, the line says "He wasn't speaking to me exactly. He very seldom addressed a question directly to me." The second one is on page 119, (the front page) the Son said, "I think they're minature horses, I told him. Not ponies. I kept my voice low, not sure I wanted him to hear me." That means he doesn't want to ask his Father a question. So, their relationship is awkward.
I think the boy would like to get closer to his father, but his father is uncomforatable around his son. The boy is holding back because he think his father might judge him. page 119: "I think they're minature horses, I told him. Not ponies. I kept my voice low, not sure I wanted him to hear me." Probably so his father wouldn't be mad at him and it would seem like he didn't like him and was 'being smart with his father.' page 120: "Can't work them, can't ride them, can't eat them. Useless." showing that the father doesn't really care.
I think the boy has a different relationship with his father than some because they act different and like differant things, like the ponies/horses. As the father quoted "I will kill the first houres that gets past that fence." and the boy will do work for the horses when the dad wont. the boy may feel juged around his father, "I think they're minature horses, I told him. Not ponies. I kept my voice low, not sure I wanted him to hear me."
i think that it's so different becaus ethey see things diffently. like how the son is instantly attahed to the mini horses and the dad instantly hates them. and i think that the dad may have thought to himself that he diditn do a good enough job with being punishable towards his son because in the end he's laughing at he horses.
I think their realationship is diffrent because the dad raised the son differently than some, and the boy loves horses and the fatehr doesnt and thats the only thing they can talk about.
I think there realationship is different from others because of the work his father has to do although he loves the animals he know what the future holds for them. When they were loading up the animals to go the the slauter house his father stood still.(p.126)Because he knows what he has to do for his family.

The dad wants to seem tough and hard working for his son so that his son might want to be liek him. good question
