How does this background information about Perry create bias in this story?
Do you think a person’s experiences as a child impacts who he or she becomes? Why or why not? How do you think Perry’s childhood affected him? Do you think his childhood played a part in his crimes?
It is a parents job to teach the children and the way they end up is on them. Being a parent isn't giving the child everything they want without working for it nor is it breaking them down to show that they are below you. The best thing a parent can do is teach them what is right and wrong, discipline only when necessary and let them start to be independent but not when they can't even think for themselves.
