It’s easy to understand why Cal feels so suffocated living on this remote island with his father and grandmother. That said, Cal is extremely talented and has a special gift for his family’s craft and trade. In what ways does the rigidity and pressure of tradition hold back new talent? How does religion factor into this dynamic? What parallels, if any, do you see between the suffering as holiness ethos of the Scottish Isles and the rugged individualism of the American Dream?
