It goes without saying that nature is a part of human growth. The environment allows everyone person to grow up and blend with it regardless of the situation. This is the case with Loung, Chou and Kim take advantage of trees, wood and other features that are made of different aspects of nature to have a sense of belonging and protection. They have manifested their father to various symbolic art forms that have provided them with the closure that they need to conquer what lies ahead of them. The world is a scary place, and considering the fact that they don’t have the guidance of their father to enable them to manoeuvre through they would find life to be a million times challenging. Therefore, through the genius use of such types of craft, they are able to have their mind at ease with all the chaos that is happening around them. A parent is very crucial in the growing up of a child that and this is what the children are trying to manifest when seeking the help of symbolic aspects for guidance and even protection.

The author of post two tends to take the aspect of family relationships to a whole new level when compared to the author of post one who did somewhat of a brush off. The author details the courageous and determined nature of what Loung’s went through for his family to survive and grow up to be outstanding citizens in society. He proclaims that Loung’s father is the kind of father every child should have. In this fact, I agree with the author of how determined the father was and how he was willing to go to war so as his family could survive and represent his generation in coming years. However, considering that the author is not a father himself, he could not actually relate to the amount of suffering that it takes for such traits to be represented on a father. However, the father described in the book, the Lucky Child, really pints a good picture and example for all fathers.
