All My Sons – Post Reading Activity

Dear diary,

Yesterday, everything went wrong. I shouldn’t have confronted my father about the incident. Doing it only got the situation much worse.

Reading that letter from Larry was the biggest mistake I ever made. Now my father is dead, and it is all my fault. If only I could have been more like him maybe I could have let it slide without confronting him, and everyone would be happy. Instead, I am devastated. Even though my mother told me it was not my fault, I can’t help but blame myself.

I wish I can move on with my life, knowing that I caused yet another death upon this family. First Larry, now father, and mother has not been herself today. I remember how hard Larry’s death hit her, she was shook and refused to acknowledge his death. I’m afraid she will be in such trauma from yesterday that her heart will just stop.

Ann tried to talk to me a couple of times today, but I am simply not able to talk about my father or anything that happened yesterday. I don’t think I could have stayed sane without her in my life. I love her.

Life is very tough right now, but at least things can only get better from here.

Chris
