journal #2

towards the end, I feel Artie has been really mean to his dad. I feel the only reason he still talks and communicate with his dad is because he needs the story. And their relationships are build upon profits and personal needs. Vladeck needs someone to talk and he needs his son and Artie is just coming for more information for his book. He has been rude and bad to his dad, and sometime got mad and swear. They have totally different story and they just can't understand each other, but more, I feel like Artie has been acting like a child, a teenager that's argue everything with parents, his is a grown-up already. Why can't he just think more for his dad and stand in his shoes to see the world, put more empathy and sympathy for Vladeck.
