Imagine Chris kept a diary. Write his diary entry for ONE of the following
days:
It is the day after
the end of the play.
Dear Diary,
I did not want this to
end that way. I thought my father was stronger than killing himself.
I wish I could have
told him all that is left unsaid. Now it is a lost matter. I was so angry, and
I have no regrets. He killed his own son, my brother. He killed my friends who
were with me during the war, my other brothers. They were supposed to be his
sons too. But, he thought he had done it for the family, for me. I feel like
the road for me is over. I cannot marry Annie because the guilt will
haunt me every day. I wanted to leave, but my mother, Kate, won't be able to
hold on much in this situation alone. I loved my father. I had appreciation for
him my whole life despite our differences.
I admired him.
I still love you dad,
but I can't forgive you.
Maybe up there in
heaven you will understand that being practical isn't always good.
