I'm not sure if this film was required of you to view or not. I was required to view it several times during school and church. It affected me then and it affects me now.
I considered the boy who died and the other characters in the film. I considered each role in the film.
The one I most identified with when I first saw the movie, was the boy who died, Cliff Evans. School made me feel that way. Teachers and tests made me feel that way then and they still do.
Since I am now divorced, the role I consider most is the mother who remarried and lost her son. I also consider the stepfather, the selfish, demanding, hostile stepfather who resented this child who was not his own. I decided I was not likely to find someone who would love and care for my children and it is better for me to remain alone for the rest of eternity.
