The narrator is telling the story from the father’s perspective of Kitty. Kitty is a quite and aggressive. Her quiteness helped her until she was sure about her tendency of being a lesbian. When she expressed it to her family, the initial reaction of her fatherwas absolutely horrifying that he couldn’t accept his little daughter was growing up and took her own decisions even if they were so morass and wrong. However, the opera “La Bohema” in the story symbolises the regretof the father rejecting his daughter. Moreover the question of why Kitty wrote an article instead of telling her thoughts directly to his father, was the presence of the large white space existed between them which make things difficult to explain or argue. In addition, we can realize the same type of relationship between Stew and Kitty and Stew and his father; the approaches to child, expectations or treatment methods. According to Kitty, the main point in being a parent is, addressing problems to yourself that means to form and believe your own values and grow your children according to this way except for being effected by the general, ingrained rulus of society.
