Guisepa was not able to do something to save her son and all she can do isto cry.



CONCLUSION:

The main character of this story which

is Mateo Falcone shows an irresponsible model as a

father, he able to kill his own son just of one

mistake. There is many ways to punish your child

and taking his/her life is another story.

Reputation will not bring back the life of

your child and actually killing his son is also

ruined much more his reputation. He chose to loose

his son just to justify the mistake of Fortunato.



LESSON:

The most important in this world is our family,

no matter what happened our family is our

strength and we must treasure each and

everyone. The mistake of someone is not enough

reason to hurt anyone and most of all it’s not alicense for us to take his/her life. Family is more

important than anything else, from it is a great

blessing that we will received God and we must

take care of it.
