¶ … father well enough," Arkady was saying.
"Your father is a good fellow," said Bazarov, "but his day is over; his song has been sung to extinction."
Nikolai Petrovich listened intently…Arkady made no reply. Then he proceeded to stop the conversation by employing a sober appearance and looking Bazarov directly in the eyes.
"I believe that you have the tendency to criticize whoever has a different thinking for you, is this right? I've seen how you constantly emphasize the fact that you feel different from most people you interact with, especially when considering individuals in the countryside, as you appear to perceive us."
"You don't understand, father," Arkady said, "Bazarov is not criticizing your choices, he simply feels that you did not have access to sufficient information in order to have a more general understanding of the world."
"Oh, but I feel that one can see the bigger picture without actually living in urban communities and without reading a particular type of books," said Nikolai Petrovich, "as it is enough for the individual to have gone through complex experiences -- experiences that shape who he is and that make it possible...
I personally believe that a person can be illiterate and still know more than someone who is familiarized with most contemporary writers. You might see me as an outdated person and as someone who has lost touch with what is happening in universities and large cities. However, I believe that as long as I have a good understanding of reality I have the right to have my own version of the truth. You see, reality is in many cases what you want it to be rather than what other people often attempt to influence you to believe."
Bazarov initially seemed to take a long break between interfering and providing a response but it is only consequent to Nikolai Petrovich's speech that he is ready to speak. "I… I never said that you didn't know what reality was, as I simply believe that you not having a mindset that is in accordance with the contemporary society makes it difficult for us to understand each-other. I do, however, believe that your thinking is somewhat limited by the fact that you are not familiarized with ideas expressed by some of today's best writers."
Arkady intervenes: "Now that I've heard to both of your cases I must say that…

Turgenev, Ivan, "Fathers and Sons," (MobileReference, 2010)
Lake In the short story "Once More to the Lake," author E.B. White describes his childhood summertime experiences. Each year his father would rent a camping spot for a whole month and the family would play and go fishing in the lake. Reflecting on his experiences, the narrator describes how he decided to revisit the lake with his own son. "Once More to the Lake" is therefore mainly about the
Freed's exploration of the theme of dysfunction is often compared to that of Shepard. However, the main distinction is that of tone: while Shepard's play is dark and somber, Freed's text is a dark, ironical comedy which ironically sketches the tensioned relationships between the members of a reunited family and their inability to communicate. The relationship between Noah and Seth is especially strained, as Seth seems to force himself into

Father and Son Relationships Though written from very different perspectives, "Death of a Salesman" and the Namesake share a number of important similarities, particularly with regard to similar messages about fathers and sons. The conflicts and complexities of father/son relationships are explored by both Arthur Miller and Jhumpa Lahiri in their characters Willy, Biff, and Happy Loman in "Death of a Salesman" and Ashoke and Gogol Ganguli in the Namesake. Yet,
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. This invocation, accompanying the sign of the cross, marks the beginning and end of every Roman Catholic prayer. It has become synonymous with Catholicism -- a celebration of the crucifix as representative of the Blessed Trinity. While, every good Catholic takes this Triumvirate for granted, it is left to theological scholars like Jurgen Moltmann to dissect and analyze
According to the concept of homoousion, Christ the Son was consubstantial (sharing the same substance) with the Father." (Gill, 2006) Only then was it resolved that although Jesus was the Son of God, the unique nature of Jesus as Son meant that Jesus, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit all were won. The interpretation of the term "Son of God" continues to divide Judaism from Christianity, theologically and linguistically,
