四、总结
Many teenagers agree with the protagonist that growing up is about trying to be independent. They don’t want to be controlled by their parents, They want to be different. The article is about how a young man struggles to earn his own living. The boy has been living under the halo of his father. He hated this feeling, so he began to rebel and tried to go to school. His extreme ways hurt his father deeply. New Year’s Day’s previous car accident made him aware of his father, as well as his apologies to his father. In fact, as long as he is good enough, his father’s excellence will not affect himself.

四、总结
The story is about an unpleasant encounter: When the woman’s child was bullied, instead of protecting her child,
Looking at her son quietly, She wanted to her son to fight his own war. When a savage man unjustifiably encouraged his son to behave rudely, Morton was very angry. The woman thought there would be an argument, even a fight, between the two men. However, Morton finally took his family out of the park “rationally”. In fact, not all things can be solved by patience. Perhaps Morton thought left park can avoid everything, but this action sometimes would harm family. leaving park means admitting defeat. At times, a proper military solution would be more appropriate.
