Wilham and My father

I feell like Wilhelm is trying to convince himself that he is still young, or at least younger than what he is, because he behaves as if he had just turned twenty. He cares a lot about his appearance and is still dreaming with becoming millionaire. He also emphasizes a lot, or at least the author does, that he is much younger than any other men at the hotel where he is staying. Honestly he reminds me of my father four or five years ago, and even now. He was trying to feel younger (At least that's what I think), becaue he had just turned forty, which is known to be a hard age both in men and women. We were living in Mexico City back then, because of my father's job, and had a car that could take my parents, my two brothers, and me. However he decided to change it for a sporting car, which is cool but not as useful. He decided to buy kayaks and gorafting, and he was invited by a much younger colleague to participate in a regatta from Acapulco to Ixtapa, Mexico. (And I'm talking 15 years younger than him). He also started dressing differently and traveling to places here in Colombia such as La Guajira with my 27 year-old cousin, who was like 22 back then. At times he even tarted mocking my mom, as if she was his mom instead of his wife. It was funny, both for me and my brothers as well as my mother, but at times my mom would get mad. However when we look back at that time we laugh a lot. Wilham reminds me of my father.
