In this text, we are using the past tense for actions and statements that occurred before the present, such as "did not want," "had," and "said," because Tom's feeling of boredom and his father's response to it are in the past. For general statements or facts, present tense verbs like "are," "see," "has," "is," and "makes" are used, since these describe ongoing truths or characteristics.
