Manolo

How do you believe Manolo felt when people kept telling him he looked so much like his father and would fallow his footsteps? Imagine being in Manolo's steps, how would you feel if people told you to be a bull fighter and you didn't know if you wanted to?

Thinking about it right now, i would probably tell everyone that they should stop thinking that I have to be a bullfighter because just because my dad was one, I don't have to be ! But, I bet if I was actuallly in that situation, I would be really afraid to say that. I would be scared that they would get mad at me or maybe think I am a chicken or something.

I imagine he felt that if he didn't pursue bullfighting, he'd be letting everyone down. I'm sure that made him feel guilty. At same time, he seems angry that no one asks him what he wants to do. I think a lot of us have been in that same situation - wondering why everyone else thinks they know what's best for us, but not actually asking what we want.
