My Architect

When it comes to someone's achievments socially, why should what they have done personally matter? If one of the most talented archiects was able to become something from literally nothing, i think that is impressive enough. Although I do not praise or approve of Louis' behavior, i also would not condem his actions. I would never want to be in a family or in a relationship with someone like Louis, but it isn't for me to say whether or not what he did was right or wrong. If he Doesn't feel any guilt how can someone else make him feel that way? I found his story interesting and unique but also a little depressing. It is always sad when a family can't work out the way we think it should. It is impressive how far one person will go just to learn more about their heritage and family. There is no way i could honestly relate to that feeling of being betrayed by a parent. As a young child it is even more confusing having a parent in and out of their life. It's important for everyone to have consistancy and balance in their life. Regardless, it is too hard for me to say what Louis had done was wrong. Everyone has a reason behind their actions. Was it fair for him to have betrayed his wife and first daughter? He wasn't exactly a responsible or commited father or housband, but he provided his city with revolutionary ideas and designs and that was his job and all anyone should ask from him or expect from him.
