1. Write a reaction to the article.
    I don't believe that he should have hit his child, he should have worked with him/her longer instead of taking it out on him/her. The father could have punished him a different way.

2. What do the father's action show?
     The fathers actions show that he wants he child to have good and proper grammer.

3. Would this have been acceptable in the 1950s?
    Yes, this would have been acceptable in the 1950, they was allowed to disapline their children like that.
