Today we studied how dehumanization impacts the family relationship between fathers and sons. We discussed three specific examples of sons with relief abandoning their fathers to a certain death . We then examined and revised Kaitlin's homework essay analyzing a quote with this theme. She did substantively well , but we reorganized sentence order for cohesion and added the role of symbolism in the quote. We then worked on a second quote that required an analysis of metaphor and symbolism which Kaitlin will complete for homework.
