The cause and Effect

Well in my book a big conflict is that the son wants to go to war . but his father will not let him because he think he is not ready .but the son thinks he is prepared more then ever so when the bells call out for the son. it is his time to act and he does as he gets his gun and runs in to battle. like his father once did . But it turned out his father was right, as the son runs away and retreats from the battle that he thought he was ready for.
