Question

I need some help answering these two questions that go along with the passage below

"John took off his helmet, turnout gear, and boots in the truck room and hung the jacket on his assigned peg. Just above the peg was a handmade label that read, ‘FF#121 Wilson.’ John still felt a sudden surge of pride every time he looked at the label. His father would be proud too, he reminded himself. After 32 years and a couple of million fires, his father still had the passion for it in his blood until the end.
It was still an hour before dinner, so John washed up and settled down in the old worn chair igit and then waited. ‘Hullo’ a tiny voice finally answered. John was happy to hear the sound of the voice he had heard only in his head for the past two hours. ‘Daddy, have you been on a fire?’ the inquisitive child asked. ‘As a matter of fact, I have son.’ John returned. ‘Wow Dad, I can’t wait until I get big, so I can fight fires too.’ ‘I know, Son."

Answer 1

The question are
One of the things that makes John's character believable is his motivation. Using 2-3 examples of specific evidence from the passage, please address each of the following questions:

1. What motivated John to become a firefighter?

2. How does his motivation reflect his character and relationship with his father?
