1. I think what that mean is he feels as if he hit his dad. However it wasn't a physical hit it was an emotional hit because now his dad thinks that his son thinks he would have beat him.
2. I think the father does not give the penny back because he wants to keep it to remember about all the times the kid thought about him. Also I think he would like to keep it to take him back to the moments they had together.
3. Four ways the father show his love are; going and looking for the penny with him, crying with him, being nice and not abusive, and being scared when they couldn't find him.
4. I think that the father and his son are in two different worlds. The difference between the worlds is the son has a bunch of feelings and is very emotional; however the father is kinda different and doesn't show his feelings. I think that the father starts to feel more emotion when he starts to see what his sons world is like. He is sad because he has never saw this before. Also the son would be emotional as always because his father is coming into his world and recognizing it.
5. I think that it is when he was talking about all the good times they could have together. When the boy starts to tell the father about his dream the father realizes all the times he wants, but haven't had, with his son.
6. I think that the penny is obviously symbolic. I think it symbolizes the "friendship" the son and his father have. It is the reason they are happy and even though its just a penny it brought them closer together.
7. I think the father probably grew up in not a very good environment. The way he treats his son at the start of the story, would tell me thats how he got treated in his younger years. I don't think he wants to be mean I just think that is how he thinks he has to treat his son.
