Based on this excerpt from Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch, which sentence best captures the author's childhood opinion of his father?

My father tried again with the football that September, and he must have been amazed when I said yes. I had never before said yes to any suggestion of his, although I rarely said no either. I just smiled politely and made a noise intended to express interest but no commitment, a maddening trait I think I invented especially for that time in my life but which has somehow remained with me ever since. For two or three years he had been trying to take me to the theatre; every time he asked I simply shrugged and grinned idiotically, with the result that eventually Dad would get angry and tell me to forget it, which was what I wanted him to say. And it wasn't just Shakespeare, either: I was equally suspicious of rugby matches and cricket matches and boat trips and days out to Silverstone and Longleat. I didn't want to do anything at all. None of this was intended to punish my father for his absence: I really thought that I would be happy to go anywhere with him, apart from every single place he could think of.
A. The author felt anger toward his father for leaving his mother and didn't want to go anywhere with him.



B. Whenever they met, the author tried to emotionally punish his father for being absent from his life.



C. The author could not relate to his father initially because they had different opinions and tastes.



D. Because the author disliked and disrespected his father, he couldn’t bear to spend time with him.



E. The author admired his father and desperately wanted to spend time with him, but his father neglected him.

Answer:

C. The author could not relate to his father initially because they had different opinions and tastes.

Explanation:

The narrator says in his text that his father called him to various places and the narrator, although he did not refuse the invitation, made it clear that he did not feel like going to those places, but the narrator also says that he would love to go out with his father to places other than the places his father suggested.

The part of the text that makes this clear is:  <em>"I didn't want to do anything at all. None of this was intended to punish my father for his absence: I really thought that I would be happy to go anywhere with him, apart from every single place he could think of."</em>

To me, freedom means to be able to have the power to think freely, speak, and have the right to have thoughts about things other people may disagree to and no one can say anything about it because it matters to what only YOU think. Other people can say what ever they can to get an agreement out of  people, to start a movement. Take Rosa Parks as an example. She didn't have the right to sit in the white persons side of the bus. With her knowing she didn't have the right, she stood up for herself and the others and with that she started a movement to free the blacks and stop racism against different races.  With that voice of her's she created something big that would become history.

Answer:

Freedom:)
