The sculptor developed the subject entirely according to his own idea: the subject is original (conceptual) and the details are worked out well.
In the story presented, the sculptor depicts an older man teaching a toddler. In this way, the sculptor draws an analogy between father and son and the process of learning democracy. It is a difficult journey of education, finding answers to difficult questions and taking responsibility for the decisions made. Life is a satire, the sculptor has proved this once again with his subject.
