My old man never liked me. He gave me my allowance in traveler's checks.

My old man never liked me. He gave me my allowance in travel

Summary

The quote suggests a broken relationship between the speaker and their father. The use of traveler's checks to give allowance implies a lack of emotional investment and coldness in their dynamic. Instead of a typical, personal form of payment, such as cash, the father's choice emphasizes their indifference towards the speaker. This short statement reveals the absence of a warm, nurturing bond between the two, indicating a strained or distant connection characterized by neglect or disinterest.

Love is like a bird's song beautiful and eloquent when heard in forest freedom, harsh and worthless in repetition when sung from behind prison bars.You cannot secure love by vigilance, by environment, by captivity.
