Section 8 pages 90-105 question 5

5) When the father and son have conversations, the boy frequently ends their talk by saying “Okay.” Does that mean that he believes what his father tells him? What else might it mean?

I think it is just the constant validation that comforts the boy. Perhaps the boy does not believe that things will be "okay" but the constant reinforcement is what he is looking for.

The boy provides comfort for his father as the father becomes much less nervous about his boy thinking he is ok
