Meaning Of The Word 'Daddy'

Call Me Daddy is a story of family, the secrets they keep, and to what lengths someone would go to protect them.

The relationship between a father and their child is tremendously salient, and will influence the life of both the parent and the adolescent in many ways. Often, it can be difficult for someone to share their personal relationships that they had with their father, as it can be a very delicate subject. Despite this, renowned authors Brad Manning and Sandra Cisneros are two people who chose to write about their unique experiences and childhoods that they shared with their fathers. Both Brad and Sandra felt their childhood relationships with their fathers were unorthodox. This was explicitly outlined in Brad's freshman composition paper titled Arm Wrestling With My Father and Sandra's magazine article titled Only Daughter. Through varying rhetorical strategies, the authors purpose and audience is clearly portrayed in both selections.

Although the relationship between a father and son should be something strong, manly, and unbreakable it proves to not hold true in either work. Most young men seek approval from their father as some type of validation. Both boys at a young age realized that the relationship between father and son was not going to have that validation that many young men look for. For example in The Kite Runner Amir constantly looks for Baba to pay attention to him and his love for books and writing, but Baba sees this as a defect in Amir. Baba thinks this is making Amir seem weak or cowardly. In this quote "Sometimes I look out this window and I see him playing on the street with the neighborhood boys. I see how they push him around, take his toys from him, give him a shove here, a whack there. And, you know, he never fights back. Never.

“Father,” in a literal definition, is a man who gives care and protection to someone or

Not having a dad might not sound too bad to some people. When that dad comes home and makes fun of his kids, or making his kids mad, his children may not want a dad anymore. Doug Swieteck from the book Okay for Now by Gary D.Schmidt feels like he does not need a dad. Not having a dad would sound good to Doug because the dad he knows acts like a real jerk to him.

Many people have ways of influencing others. Most people use words to affect other people. An amount of individuals would utilize their gift of persuasion to convince others of their causes or maybe arguments, while some use authority to force people to do as they are told. These several differences can apply to fathers as well. Not all fathers are similar when it comes to educating their children. Many are gentle, while some are more dominant.

Although single parenthood is on the rise in homes today, children still often have a father role in their life. It does not matter who the part is filled by: a father, uncle, older brother, grandfather, etc...; in almost all cases, those relationships between the father (figure) and child have lasting impacts on the youth the rest of their lives. In “I Wanted to Share My Father’s World,” Jimmy Carter tells the audience no matter the situation with a father, hold onto every moment.

In their recent work, Brad Manning and Sarah Vowell have written about more than one way to have a close, but different relationship with their fathers. There is has always been a belief that to get along with someone you would have normal conversations, enjoy each other’s company, or share a common interest. In the story they love their father as any other child would, but their ways of communication are not the same and are different from a common father-child relationship. Both authors use rhetorical devices as a framework for differentiating their relationships with their fathers by characterizing them.

The essay we read about the anorexic girl had a very deep but almost sarcastic tone at times. She was very straight forward when writing this essay and didn’t put much emotion into it. It was very clear she was trying to prove a point instead of getting people to feel sorry for her. At times though her tone seemed mock or be sarcastic.

She used it to show she wanted his love and to show that they didn’t have that special father, daughter relationship. Daddy was meant to be sarcastic since they didn’t have that kind of relationship. One thing I noticed was how short

With the Internet saturated with digital stories literally available at your fingertips or at the swipe of a screen, viewers can easily be overwhelmed with choices when trying to find a digital story that fits into their own definition of “compelling.” A challenge that seems so easy could not have been any harder for me. I found several videos that I considered compelling, including some that I plan to emulate in my own digital storytelling project. However, it was not until I viewed “Dear Daddy,” a story that illuminates domestic violence, rape, sexual assault, and sex-shaming, did I realize that my definition of what I find truly compelling is much deeper than just finding something interesting or captivating.

In most households where fathers aren’t present, the child growing up simply doesn’t care about what the mother has to say. In society, we are shown that mothers are weaker than fathers. We expect the child to obey every order the father directs him to do but not so much the mothers’. This is demonstrated in a scene where Ricky and Doughboy’s mother is mad at Doughboy for not cleaning the house. She goes on to say “You aren’t shit you just like your daddy you don't do shit and you never going to amount to shit. All you ever do around here is eat, sleep and shit. Look at this place. Y'all must think I'm the
