Barn Burning

I'm reading a story called "Barn Burning", and it's mainly about a boy who has a father that burns barns, and one day the boy decides to tell on his father. The characters are Abner, Colonel, the older brother, the twin sisters, the mother, the aunt, and De Spain. The main characters are Colonel and Abner. Colonel is Abner's son,and Abner is abusive. Abner's actions shows that he is demanding and abusive. He's demanding because he raises his voice at people, so they can do things for him. He's abusive because he hits Colonel several times, just because he does things Abner doesn't find suitable.
On the other hand, I found a quotation that shows Colonel he's a follower. He's a follower because he does bad things for his dad. The quotation read : " Go to the barn and go get that can of oil we were oiling the wagon with," Abner said. The boy did not move. Then he could speak. " What ....." he cried, " What are you......" " Go get the oil," his father said. " Go!" When I read this, I saw that Colonel is a follower because he did something bad, just because his father told him to do it. It was a bad thing he did because he went to get the oil so his father could burn down the barn.
I found another quotation that shows Abner being demanding. The quotation read: " Did you put the cutter back in that straight stock like I told you?" " No sir." the boy said. " Then go do it." After I read this, I realized that the father told his son to go put the cutter back in the stock, but it was his job to do it. Also, he said it in a demanding voice like he had nothing to do with the tool.
