Essay 2 Dialogue

I have a kinda similar relationship with my father, the same way Sarah Vowell and her father do. In the story "Shooting Dad," Sarah and her father don't share hardly anything in common. They usually disagree on most things and have separate opinions, the only one thing they agree on is the constitution. Sarah doesn't seem to understand her fathers passion for guns. I am the same way with my father though. For me things didn't start off right away. When I was younger I would always do everything with my father. We would go hiking and go to different rivers for him to look for arrowheads, which is like Sarah's fathers gun to him. I was always really into doing it, I thought of it as spending time with my father. It was around the time that my brother was born that we stopped going on the hikes and going to the rivers. I don't know what it was, I think it was the fact that I was getting older and growing out of my tom boy phase. Around that time my father got really into politics, he would always try to talk to me about them or try to make me watch the news, and of course I never paid attention. To me it was a waste of time, but to my father it's like the most important thing. He always says to me, "Don't you wanna know what's going on in the world."
