* PoorCommunicationKills: An almost ''literal'' example. John Jr. decides to write a heartfelt letter to explain to his new Pa why he couldn't hunt, but Isaiah can't read and, not wanting to admit it because he wants his son to be proud of him, pretends he read it and doubles down on his plans to hunt, causing John Jr. to think he just didn't care about what he wrote, and leading to the bear attack in which John can't bring himself to shoot the animal to protect his Pa. When he learns the truth and reads his letter to a convalescing Isaiah, he has a much warmer reaction.
