Private Peaceful 3

Tommo dwells on an important event in his life span. He starts the day dream by stating a fact that he would only were his boots on sundays thus church day however his mother and father would wear boots every day  and how his father had a special pair of Hobnails boots that he wore every day and even the day he died. The Tommo started dwelling on the day his beloved father died how as a regular morning he took Tommo on his horse road up into the woods and how he would always say ; " Have fun" as Tommo always did. These lignes were very sweet until he got to the point were Tommo was standing underneath a great big tree and how he heard moans and groans from his father who was cutting down trees and when he looked around it was not his father but a huge tree above him swaying it was creaking when all the other tree were silent. He then realised that it was falling down and would land on top of him however he did not move. This situation of frozen in position always aggravates me because i do not understand why people do not react and run. We have a fight or flight response obviously if you see a tree that weight tonnes you are not going to fight it. Why didn't Tommo move ! It most of been a force greater than him. Later his father was screaming for him to run but he didn't so the father leapt in-front of the tree threw Tommo away and landed right underneath with full impact.He was dead straight away his head turned the opposite direction of Tommo and just blood running down his nose. If I were Tommo i would feel so much guilt responsibility and at fault that it would permanently scar me. The next memoir is when the funeral was happening and how there family got the first row and how normally only the Colonel and his family sat in front. A very symbolic moment happens when a swallow flies over head and how Tommo recognises as his father trying to escape and how he always said in his after life he wanted ro be a bird so he could fly away whenever he wanted to. To me the birds symbolises the spirt of Tommo's father his soul being set free of any burdens and of him turning into the after life. It is a very important line in my opinion. Finally Big Joe the brother who does not go to school points at the swell get up exits the room and comes back in explains what he did to his mother. Their grandmother scowls him. Tommo understood that she was ashamed to be part of the family but only till later he discovers why ! This I am sure is a big question that is going to be revealed later on !So i am looking forward to the answer.
