Currently I am reading the book Fear The Worst by Linwood Barklay.
"I do know it was instinctual. Someone suggests you killed your own daughter, that you took the life of the person more dear to you than anyone else in the world, what else are you going to do but try to get your hands around his neck and try to choke the life out of him."
-Tim Blake, from Fear the Worst
The main character of the book I am currently reading (Fear the worst) is a man named Tim Blake. Tim Blake makes a living selling cars at a car dealership and has a 17 year old daughter named Sydney (Syd). Tim is a divorced father and when Syd was staying with him, she didn't come home one night. Tim's daughter was then confirmed missing and Tim is very scared and worried about what might of happened to his daughter. Ever since Tim has been searching all over for her. Tim is a good guy and is good at his job but this has all had a massive effect on him. As the story progresses Tim starts to uncover clues that slowly start to unviel answers to where his daughter may be. I think in the end Tim will probably find Syd but there will be a lot more to it than it seemed at first.
The video below is a video done to the song "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" by Bob Dylan. I think this is a good song to represest what Tim is thinking because the lyrics are about a father worrying about his child that he can't find.
Good summary, and a very valid connection. Next time, I personally think you should focus more on the character himself and not his situation.
