All my sons

3. 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.
