" My first glimpse into the true fragility and depth of emotion under his armor" His armor is referring to his tough exterior, a gruff and strong man. This plays into the final line of "don't move her" as the father has finally excepted the cat as part of the family.  The essay is in 4 stanzas each begging with a quotation from the father. then telling the story as to why he said those things. ]]> 2021-03-14 22:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/philippij/Jeremysgoodpadlet/wish/1308220694 philippij https://padlet.com/philippij/Jeremysgoodpadlet/wish/1310443623 The dialogue of this is very cautious. Alex doesn't know if he can trust the man or what the man can do. The Old man is very calm about his products and doesn't hide much, he is very open. "One might call it a life cleaner. Lives need cleaning sometimes". He's very open about his stock and what he has. ]]> 2021-03-15 13:00:38 UTC https://padlet.com/philippij/Jeremysgoodpadlet/wish/1310443623 philippij https://padlet.com/philippij/Jeremysgoodpadlet/wish/1310444051 Themes of the bigger picture can be seen when Adam cant help but what the love potion even though the man is hiding something about it, he still want it more then anything.
