Fatherless choice #2
Which character is the most memorable to you and why? Which scene stands out in your mind? Explain.
The scene that stands out to me the most is when they travel to Rome. THey travel to Rome trying to see all of Romes famous sites in one day. Which is pretty much impossible. They get to meet the pope and talk with him just like they where hoping too. They trip to Rome was a sucess for the most part.
The sence that stands out to me the most was when the family has trouble with the show HSN, why? Because Michael two little girls saw the show and it was a big deal, so he went to his boss the next day and spoke to him about shutting down the show.
The scene that stands out to me is when the oldest daughter try to kill herself. She was having problems so was the family and she just wanted to end her problems ending her life. When her mother caught her trying to kill herself she took her daughter to see a doctor and the doctor told her parents she can grow out of it or she can succeed killing herself. The daughter try again and she was successful by hanging herself.
The character that is most memorable to me is Fr. John Sweeney. He is the "poster boy" for a relatively confused lot of priests that joined the priesthood in the 1980s. He does not exactly "play by the book" when it comes to following the rules of the Catholic Church. According to the story, he sees some benefit in regulating the size of families. He also gives Michael Burns the green light to join HSN even though the movies will be R-rated. Fr. Sweeney justifies the latter decision by saying that "The Church encourages her sons and daughters to leaven society." Fr. Sweeney struggles with his priestly ministry as much as the issues he faces and that his ministry as a priest need "regeneration." The scene that stands out the most to me is where Bill Kealey confesses his sins to Fr. Sweeney. In his confession, Bill Kealey reveals that he's had an affair with his secretary and that he has been sterilized. Fr. Sweeney is shocked and horrified. The Kealeys marriage has been going along well up until this point, but now there are problems that Fr. Sweeney must fix.
