In this work, the author shows the affection and love between the son and father is not only expressed through the usual way but also through arm wrestling and sports. He is showing not only the father and son but also in any kind of relationships, we can express in any ways. The audience in this essay is for general. Through this work the author shows the public that the best relationship can be expressed through physical contact like arm wrestling or any other sports. In this work there are many instances that show the relationship between the father and the son. The people believed and considered that the relationship bond can be expressed only through beautiful words or soft behavior and care and all that. But the writer changed the concept and shows to the public that it can be shown through physical contact too.

The thesis i understood from this beautiful work is that i mentioned in the above paragraph is that through physical contact like involving sports or wrestling we can shown one's affection towards the other. Brad Manning is successful in portraying the good relationship between the father and son and how they changed in time. Within the starting of the story the writer tells the perusers around how his relationship with his father has continuously been physical. But that was his father’s way of communicating with him, which manning learned afterward. Manning never won once in arm wrestling with his father amid his childhood; his father would continuously win. Manning on included that he utilized to adore losing to his father that would made him pleased to have a solid father, but his sentiments changed over time. Manning included that whereas he developed up and got to be solid, his father matured he got to be powerless. Manning moreover attempted to take after his father’s steps. One day between college exams manning came domestic, he cannot calm review how it begun but him and his father begun arm wrestling once more but this time it was diverse and manning was winning. That's when the author realizes winning isn't everything; in some cases letting go is the better choice to form.

He too recollects how much his father had done for him and their family to keep them secure; since his father was solid he never felt anxious when he was around him because he knew his solid arms will ensure him continuously. The day when Manning was taking off for college for the primary time his father embraced him. He was not utilized to it so he got humiliated. When he cleared out, he felt his father’s adore. He realizes that the time has changed. Presently that Manning got to be more grounded he is anxious that in case he can take the obligations like his father.

I am agreeing on the central idea of this essay. The central idea is the affection between the father and son is not only expressed through the love and care but also it can be expressed also through the physical contact like arm wrestling or any other physical contact. love is a beautiful thing that can be expressed through our way. there is no particular way to express the love between humans. so I completely agree with the central idea in this essay.
