if i were in his shoes

If i were in Charles Van Doren’s shoes,i would confess,because it is involving the family name,and as you can see his father is a well known poet,so like one of the scene when his father said"your name is mine",that's enough to prove that we have to consider our family name before doing anything.Besides to be a human, that is the thing that we should do,the right thing,so i have the same thinking with David.
