 Two contrasting members of my family are my brother and my father. I understand both of them 
fairly well, but their attempts to understand each other are less successful.
 One of the humorous differences between my father and brother is the way they wear their hair. My 
brother wears his hair down to his shoulders. My father, on the other hand, always gets his hair cut when 
it begins to touch his collar. The length of my brother's hair bothers my father. This difference in hair-
styles symbolizes, for my father, all the contrasting opinions between my brother and him.
 During the fifties, as my father was growing up in the hills of West Virginia, he realized that he 
wanted a life that was different from that of his parents, so he decided that he would go to college. He 
excelled in mathematics and science and eventually earned a Ph.D. in physics. For my father, a college 
education symbolized a way to get ahead and provide a good standard of living for his family.
 The environment in which my brother grew up was much different from the conservative era in 
which my father was raised. He studied music at an early age and was encouraged to develop his interest 
in the field. Although talented in math and science, my brother's true love was music. He was determined, 
upon graduating from high school, to make a career in music.
