This is a really powerful essay, and the writer accomplishes this through attention to sensory detail and careful characterization. Here's an example:
"He put his arm around me and his foot on the gas."
Not only does this line convey action to move the essay forward, but it also helps to build on the charcterization of the narrator's father. It's not too mushy, not too doting, but it's supportive and loving. This action tells the reader that the narrator's father will guide him along, show him love, and give him some wiggle room every now and again. Great technique.
