In a paragraph characterize the father in this story.
He is a free spirit, who flaunts convention: "He was indifferent to my fretting. Snow whirled around us in bitter, blinding squalls, hissing like sand, and still we skied."
This shows that he is truly a person who thinks outside the box, takes risks, and is proud and arrogant.
This man also desires global control, but local loss of control. He likes to call the shots, but also likes to takes risks for the sake of fun and memorable experiences.
Is this man bad, irresponsible, childish? Some say yes, but I say no. I say that what he is trying to do is give his anal-retentive, hanger-arranging son a memorable experience on Christmas Eve. I don't think there's anything wrong in that, and I challenge anyone who has other opinions about that to, well, BRING IT ON.
Overall, he means well. He did manage to get his son home for Christmas eve dinner like he promised. Nobody got hurt, and nothing got damaged. The marriage may have ended, but risks were taken, but they were calculated risks that had the result of the above-mentioned anal-retentive kid having an experience he won't forget anytime soon.
