What is the conclusion of 'Footnote to Youth'?

Answer 1

Dodong wants to marry Teang in their young age.They are only seventeen years old. His father allowed hi because he dont want Dodong to be hurt. When they got married they had many children.Teang is beautiful,but,because of stress he became like an old woman. One of their children is Blas. In that time,Blas also wants to be married. Like Dodong he was also a young teenager. The one that he wants to marry is Tona. Tona is also a beautiful girl like Teang. When Blas told to Dodong that he wants to marry Tona, Dodong felt sad because he knows how difficult the life is when they got married in their young age. Even if he is a farmer, a farmer's salary is not much for a big family. But Dodong has no choice, so he allowed Blas to marry Tona. Because of that, Dodong felt guilty because he already know what will happen in his son's future life
