This
excerpt was interesting. I can’t exactly say I understand everything about it
(but perhaps that is because it only seemed like an excerpt and not an entire
story so I don’t know the entire background). However, in certain places within
the piece I can definitely clearly indicate the connections between the world
this father and son live in to that of someone’s interpretation of the wild.
There was one part in particular that stood out to me, which is when it said
that someday the fathers would eat their children right in front of you. That
was a complete shock to me. The statement itself is not only wild and
nefarious, but this cannibalism immediately reminded me of the prey and
predator. The animalistic act of cannibalism is without a doubt a very
untamable sense of the theme “the wild.” I enjoyed reading it a lot.
