How could i improve my introduction paragraph? !

basically, we are supposed to have an essay on a father-son conflict.
we have to state multiple sources to the conflict, and analyze them.
here is my claim/introduction.
should i be more specific with my claim? like, instead of "there were many reasons for the father-son conflict." i can say "there were 4 main reasons for the father-son conflict. 1. 2. 3.

in the novel, “vietnam and i”, there is a father-son conflict, between anthony, and his father, rick. the conflict is because anthony wants to join the vietnam war, but it is the last thing rick wants his son to do. rick’s father died in ww2, and it emotionally shattered him. soon after his father died, rick became anti-war. rick also started hating propaganda. rick became paranoid after his father’s death, after having anthony, rick thought it was necessary to abstain anthony from all possible influencers that could lead him to being pro-war, such as, the news, politics, friends, and school. rick homeschooled his son, anthony, so that he wouldn’t be influenced by others. rick didn’t let him have friends. he tried to influence anthony to become anti-war, for example, anthony states, “my father would make me watch these long anti-war speeches… i never really understood why, but i watched them anyway.” (59) basically, what happens in the book, is that anthony eventually enlists in the vietnam war-- not as a draftee, but as a volunteer in the marines.
