Father and Son

Currently we are reading The Road, a post- apocalyptic story describing a son and father's journey through the disastrous world. Their relationship is one that is not typical of a father and son relationship, because in modern day most fathers are not as gentle, and compassionate as the one in the story. That is the role of the mother supposedly. They believe in tough love and making their sons men . But in the Road the father knows that the child won't be able to live a normal life or for that fact know what a normal life is. The father tries as best as he can to comfort the child and he begans to show motherly like  qualities.
