Answer:

Father is the story “The Egg” is a king of person who doesn’t give up. No matter how many times he has failed, or how much time it took him to do his tricks, but he kept trying and eventually got it. We see that some people do not pay attention to Father’s egg tricks.

His actions and interactions drive the plot and contribute to the theme. For one example, when the father trys to impress the visitor with a trick, that was the climax of the story. He desperately wants to be able to do this trick, and keep the visitor there to watch him do it, which ends up in his forcefully pushing the egg in and breaking it. This entire interaction between Father and the visitor added to the plot, and shows the theme of the story, never give up and always keep trying.

Father is characterized as a man who does tricks to impress people, wanted to be expert in tricks with eggs. Some tricks did not draw people's attention that much. The story unfolds as he tries to perform a specific trick and fails. Your goal is to try to keep the attention and interest of his visitor.

Father's character is very important in this story, because he begins by showing these tricks until the very end of the story. The climax of this story is when the visitor wants to leave and father with a little anger and strength, tries to keep him in his seat, so that he could continue his show. Somehow the story shows he was no good at doing it. He could not convince Joe that was a good thing, so he uses strenght to get it. He wants Joe, the visitor, to have such an interest in the tricks, that Joe wants to do the same with other people. He is a man who does his best to keep the attention to him, in what he has done, even if he has failed.
