The differences Between Mason's Biological Father and His Stepfathers

    Mason was born in a family with the divorced parents. When Mason's mom moves to Houston, Mason's Dad find himself alone in Alaska. His boyhood doesn't look like anyone because he does not have enough emotional from his parents. By the time, his mother get married with a professor, and he is going to be Mason's stepfather. However, the purpose of this essay is to contrast the differences between Mason's biological father and his stepfathers. And we will look at the characteristics, the emotional, and raising children.
  At first Mason's biological father, he has an active characteristic of good father. For example, he spends time with his children through goes out, plays bowling, eats and talks with them. He always gives an advice to kids what is right and wrong. Moreover, he listens the feedback from his children. On the other hand, Mason's stepfather doesn't particularly like that because his stepfather becomes drinking and arguing more frequently. He doesn't care about Mason and his children. For example, he sends a barber to cut his children hair, but he doesn't ask about what styles are Mason like the most. Then, he just lets the barber cutting without thinking. After that, he laughs and feels happy.
   Another different between Mason's biological father and his stepfather is the emotional. Mason always feels very comfortable when he stays with his original father. Mason shares the things, and talks about his classmate or his daily life even dream in the future, and the feedback from his original father is very nice to them. He explains the point by point until they understood. In contrast to Mason's stepfather is the opposite way. Because of the feeling, Mason is usually afraid of his stepfather when he got drinking. For example, when Mason tells something or gives the opinions then he looks at his stepfather for asking a permission. In this case, Mason cannot tell his mom about his problems because he doesn't want his mom to be worried. And Mason's stepfather is also a violent person; as a result, Mason and his mom are usually beaten by Mason's stepfather.
  The final difference is raising children. Mason's stepfather doesn't know how to raise kids and how to teach them either, but Mason's biological father does. He teaches his children how to be a good person, and how to be responsibility with the things they do. He also explains why he and his wife are separate. Moreover, he teaches his children how to do when they have a boyfriend or a girlfriend also.  And he also gives the opinions about the future to raise his children to a right tract or to help their dream come true.
  In conclusion, here you have these differences to think about having another father. Although, in some case, two dad might be better than one dad, and it depends on what you think about. In children side, they want only one parent, but being a single mom or dad is also difficult for parent too. I hope through my contrast essay, you will know a little bit more about the difference between biological father and stepfather in Boyhood movie, the childhood life of Mason.
