Mr. Hoodhood does not want his daughter to go to Columbia University because Mr.Hoodhood wants her to stay back and work for him. I think that it is totally unfair because Mr. Hoodhood is stopping her and not
letting her do what she want to do. Heather, Mr. Hoodhood's daughter is totally against war. Columbia University at the time was on strike to protest the war in Vietnam.

I think Heather is like a hippie, but at her age, she'd be considered as a flower child. Flower children are usually peace makers and most commonly try to end war. Obviously, parents always want the best for us but Mr. Hoodhood is the total opposite. As you know, all he really wants is his company to be the best of the best and not so much of what his kids want.

Some people surely have that type of attitude today but at one point in time, parents have to let go. For me, even though my mom and dad don't want me to leave or say goodbye. These are some challenges in
life. Sure, so people have this type of attitude but others just have a problem of letting go, but it's something in the future that we all go through.
