In section 15 John D Daniels was talking about his past memories about the grocery stores, the church and his memories about his father, he mentioned the first time he saw his father cry was at the church, the second time he saw his father cry was while he was strangling him and accusing him of being gay and telling him that he would cut his hair off. The third time after accusing him he would regain his sense and tell him I am vietnam veteran what is happening to me, then he mentioned that he dared his father to cut off his hair, then he smashed him against the wall, through the doorway thrown him onto the bed and strangled him and that was the third time he cried. In this letter the author is recalling his experiences he had living with his father which was very abusive.

I summarized section 3 and I believe in both section 3 and 15, John D Daniels, recalls his life in Kentucky. In my section its mostly about a bar, and it seemed like happier as well as funnier memories there. Section 15 was my favorite section. Reading about his relationship with his father made me feel closer to him and more relatable. I really liked how you also summarized that whole section up.
