Father and Son Relationship

When talking about this poem in class it really brought out the inner thoughts and I was so surprised that I actually said something about the reading. What really came to me as we discussed it was that I thought that it wasn't talking about being abusive and having an abusive father/son relationship. What came to me was that event though he said that the whiskey on your breath could make a small boy dizzy, the thought was like just a little scent of it would make any little boy dizzy so it didn't have to mean that the father was drunk. Something that made me think that he did drink and that he had a couple shots was that he's a hard working man, he's out all day, in the sun, in the weather, and coming home is his time to relax not get drunk. I also came to the thought that he was not abusing the boy I think that they were playing like tag, or you cant get me sort of game, having the pans fall to the floor, although we did discuss the sharp words I really don't have the picture of an abusive father. Being that part of when it says the hand that grabbed my wrist or something like that put the picture in my mind of, like oh man he's got me, and as he looked at his fathers hand he sees that harsh hurt, or a cut, and to any child that would be something painful and harsh. I may have left out the part of when he said he pounded them on my head or something, like it, I thought of a noggy, not anything More then playful. And the last sentence where he goes, clinging to his fathers shirt is just to me a father and son love, not a frightened one. I think that these thoughts came to me because I have all brothers and I guess that the culture that I come from we're rough people when we play but at all other times really really gentle. And that I just picture my dad and brothers, my dad doesn't drink but I've been around people that get into these situations and its nothing of abuse in there but fun. This is just my interpretation of this, and I hope it didn't offend anyone, but comment me OK. Thanks
