Based on this excerpt from nick hornby's fever pitch, which sentence best captures the author's childhood opinion of his father? my father tried again with the football that september, and he must have been amazed when i said yes. i had never before said yes to any suggestion of his, although i rarely said no either. i just smiled politely and made a noise intended to express interest but no commitment, a maddening trait i think i invented especially for that time in my life but which has somehow remained with me ever since. for two or three years he had been trying to take me to the theatre; every time he asked i simply shrugged and grinned idiotically, with the result that eventually dad would get angry and tell me to forget it, which was what i wanted him to say. and it wasn't just shakespeare, either: i was equally suspicious of rugby matches and cricket matches and boat trips and days out to silverstone and longleat. i didn't want to do anything at all. none of this was intended to punish my father for his absence: i really thought that i would be happy to go anywhere with him, apart from every single place he could think of. the author felt anger toward his father for leaving his mother and didn't want to go anywhere with him. whenever they met, the author tried to emotionally punish his father for being absent from his life. the author could not relate to his father initially because they had different opinions and tastes. because the author disliked and disrespected his father, he couldn’t bear to spend time with him. the author admired his father and desperately wanted to spend time with him, but his father neglected him.

Which sentences from part 1 of the call of the wild would best serve as evidence of the theme "sometimes survival depends on knowing when not to fight"? buck had accepted the rope with quiet dignity. to be sure, it was an unwonted performance: but he had learned to trust in men he knew, and to give them credit for a wisdom that outreached his own. he had merely intimated his displeasure, in his pride believing that to intimate was to command. but to his surprise the rope tightened around his neck, shutting off his breath. he saw, once for all, that he stood no chance against a man with a club. he had learned the lesson, and in all his after life he never forgot it. that had given them an unfair advantage; but now that it was off, he would show them. they would never get another rope around his neck.
