"What you Eat"

In the story "What You Eat" is about the relationship between a father and his son.  The father is very stern with his son and makes him do what he says.  His father's rule is what ever you kill you have to eat, therefore when the son kills a bird he has to eat it.  On one occasion the son accidentally killed his pet dog and in return his father expected his son to eat him, but he refused.  After the awhile the father started drinking a lot and coming home drunk.  The son was trying to prevent this from happening by standing in the road waiting for his drunk father and drive home drunk.  On one occasion the father hit the son, but the son didn't die.   The son is trying to prove to his father that obviously he doesn't like him drinking and that he is very unhappy.  The son is trying to get killed by his father and wanting him to eat him afterwards, teaching the father his lesson.
