Write the central idea of A Long Walk Home
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
A Long walk Home conveys the theme that a bitter experience can make one wise. In the story, Jackson is initially shown as a teen who thinks that telling a lie to prevent his father from getting angry about his unpunctuality to pick him up is not a problem. But his father has phoned the garage when Jackson does not appear at 4. So he knows that Jackson lies to him, and this makes him angry. He can accept his being late to pick him up, but he is very disappointed because Jackson lies to him. However, instead of getting angry with Jackson, he punishes himself for believing he has failed to educate Jackson. Rather than getting into the car, he walks home. Seeing his father suffer from physical and emotional pain along the way home, Jackson feels distressing and painful. This experience teaches him not to lie to his father ever after. In short, through Jackson’s bitter experience in this short story, Bocarro shows that a painful experience can facilitate people to grow wiser, as it can effectively prevent people from repeating the same mistake. Experience is indeed an effective teacher.
