  1. L1 sets the theme and tone while L2 reveals the different aspects of personality traits (manifested in the battlefield/workplace) of the speaker's father in L3.

    And it might be interesting to do a thematic comparative reading of the following haiku:

    remembrance day
    I tell my father
    about his father
