All My Sons – Post Reading Activity

Dear diary,

Yesterday my life fell apart. I found out that my dad was responsible for the death of the twenty one pilots and my brother Larry had decided to kill himself at the moment he found out about it.

I feel so naïve after I believed all those years that he is not guilty… the thought that my father might have been guilty and shipped the cracked cylinder heads had never bothered me. How could he ever think that family is above all? What about social responsibility?

I can’t ignore of the fact that Ann, my love, was hiding Larry’s letter the whole time! I thought Ann is different than everyone else. How could she see my mom so miserable this whole time?

I am so frustrated, I can’t stay in this place for a minute longer. I feel like a can’t even talk to anyone of these people especially when I think about my soldiers and the pilots who got killed in the war only because of my father’s stupid decision. I need to start a new life, far away from this place and people.
