Answer:
Wright was apparently hurt and unhappy when reflecting on his father's past dealings with him.
Explanation:
The excerpt portrayed Wright's father as a person who did not truly treat him lovingly during his younger days. This can be found in the sentence where he talked about his 'fearsome aspect of twenty five years ago'. Old age apparently made his father vulnerable according to his descriptions such as his 'bent body', and him 'smiling toothlessly'. This was not the way his father was during his younger days.
Wright also talked about some scalding experiences which swept him beyond his life. These scalding experiences may have been caused by his father.
Is there a specific question here?
