As an adult, Wright has a different perspective of his father than he did when he was a child.
In the passage the speaker talks about his father when he says, "there had not been handed to him a chance". This makes it seem as though the speaker understands that his father did not have much of a choice. Then at the end of the passage the speaker says "I forgave him, and pitied him as my eyes look past him to the unpainted wooden shack." These details show that there has been some type of change in the speaker in regards to his father. At one point he may have blamed his father and been angry with him, but this frustration or annoyance is no longer there for the speaker. The way the speaker views his father has changed since he was a boy.

Answer:
Phrase, Idiom or Sentence
Explanation:
A sequence of words that form a meaning can be a phrase, idiom or a sentence.
A phrase is a group of words that form a meaning. It can be a combination of a preposition and a noun, or an adjective and a noun. <em>Prepositional phrase</em> is for example "in the air", and an <em>adjectival phrase</em> is "a beautiful girl".
An idiom is a phrase that when formed, changes the meaning of the words in a phrase. For example,<em> "It's raining cats and dogs".</em> This sentence doesn't mean that literally cats and dogs fall from the sky, but it has a different meaning, which is <em>"It is heavily raining." </em>
A sentence is a group of words that must consist of at least subject and a verb, which can be followed by other words or phrases. For example, a phrase is <em>"a beautiful girl"</em> - it cannot be a sentence because it doesn't have a verb. If we say <em>"A beautiful girl is here."</em> - we make a sentence, because now it has a <em>subject (A beautiful girl), a verb (is) and a preposition of place (here). </em>
