All Of My Sons

I think All Of My Sons had a very predictable and un-eventful plot. The ending was similar to The 400 Blows because it left the viewer, in this case the reader, with nothing significant to reflect on. I didn't get how chris came to seeing his dad as a role model one second, and then a second later he detested his dad. Its not realistic AT ALL. I also dont like the fact that no one seems to try to forgive someone in this book, they always hold their grudges. I beleive that Chris is a very selfish man. He wants ann all for himself just because shes single now that larry "died". Obviously it wouldnt have worked out very well since joe ended up shooting himself over the intertwined issue of their marraige and the war. Joe seemed like a weak character to me. He shot himself not only because he didnt want to go to jail, but because chris didnt see him as a father anymore. They could've worked things out.
