Answer:

1) Edwin wants to contact his father because he has been waiting a long time to learn about his cultural heritage.

2) When he finally contacts his father, he cuts off communication with him.

3) Edwin responds this way because he is overwhelmed and somewhat scared. Scared that he may not be Native enough and also scared of what a real connection would feel like with his father.

Explanation:

This is from the book “There There: Edwin Black” written by Tommy Orange.

It is a story about a 30year old Masters Degree holder who was lives with his mother, overweight and spends majority of his time on the internet. At that time, he didn’t know who is father was and he tried searching for him on the internet.

He had been waiting to learn about his native heritage, searching for clues and trying to figure out things himself.

But after connecting with his biological father and learning about his Native background, he becomes overwhelmed and scared. He was scared that he may not be Native enough as he had imagined and also scared of how a relationship with his father would be.

Answer:

For me I wish someone had taught me that getting along with people well is actually far more important than being superb at your job. I saw it 1000 times that the easier-going person got promoted and the more determined workaholic who really knew their stuff were passed over. I never learned how to small talk.

I was told several times that college is the most important time of a person’s life and that the relationships made then are crucially important down the line. I spent far too much time becoming an outstanding student/MD and far too little time complimenting the nurses and administrators, etc., always willing to linger for small talk even if patients were waiting on me. It took a long time for me to realize that no one cared how expert I was as long as I completed the minimum necessary work, and the patients’ outcomes were of scarce importance to them.

Now with internet access it’s much easier to maintain relationships, although the substance seems much shallower than a handwritten snail mail letter from generations ago when literacy was really valued and letters were creative.

I’ve never spent time arguing since it always seemed pointless to me. I was right. I think of the thousands of arguments I've witnessed over the years and the nonsense I put up with with so many combative personalities. If only I knew then that people cannot communicate properly when arguing so it’s a complete waste of time for everyone. I decided many years ago to never sit through such nonsense and simply say “let’s table this until everyone is calm” and then I exit.
