The Comparison of Discovery of a Father and 背影
Both written by famous writers, both about fathers, the two have some differences as well as similarities. In the matter of genre, Discovery of a Father is a short story, while 背影 is considered to be a very beautiful essay. ...
It seems that Discovery of a father uses a happier and more humorous style than 背影, or I should say that 背影 uses a more serious style. ... As a short story, Discovery of a Father uses more detailed deceptions, more metaphors and a little exaggeration. To me, Discovery of a Father is telling a warmth story of a child, while 背影 can easily move the readers to tears. ... Though the writer of Discovery of a Father Sherwood Anderson was born in a poor family, it seems he lived in a more peaceful circumstance.
