Bricklayer's Boy by: Alfred Lubrano
Are parents supposed to be there for their kids? Are parents supposed to guide their own kids in the right path? Yes. Parents have many jobs to do in their lives, like taking care and supporting their children, working a lot in order to run a family, and most importantly to be role models to their children. Parents after learning a lot through their own childhoods should be aware, and well aware of what to do and what not do. In addition, parents make their own mistakes in life and once they know how to get around it, they teach their own children to prevent them. However, parents tend to disagree with their own children, about values or fundamental choices in life; hence, controversies start to occur between them. Controversies can then lead to isolation or even to alienation.
The article "Bricklayer 's Boy" by Alfred Lubrano is an autobiography about his life. When he was younger, his father wanted him to go to college, learn and become educated. His father would constantly warn his son to keep his head in the books, in order to become successful and to support a family in the future. Moreover, the father explains to Lubrano of how he worked so hard to get where he is, and being a good father that he is, he doesn 't want Lubrano working in a daily-paper business. He wanted his son to be somebody and work very hard because he was afraid of his own son becoming something like himself. Being a white-collar man does require lots of work, but you can make money much more money easily and there is also less labor involved than a blue-collar man. In addition, a white-collar man can be more successful, with the use of a higher education or a degree unlike a blue-collar man. In addition, the father coming from the olden days explains to Alfred that money isn 't everything; you go where your families are. Alfred being a white-collar man does his job because he enjoys it. Therefore, if he has an offer with greater pay somewhere else, he would be willing to relocate
