LA+Literary+Response

Hi:) I updated the latest draft... But can someone help to add the evidence and break it into different paragraphs? Please add more points too! Thanks. -Gladys

ok... so we're doing the father. hmmm... here's some thoughts for the thing. the fact that the writer never uses a positive phrase to describe him kind of makes him sound "bad" in that sense. but then normally "bad" ppl dont deserve sympathy. so ppl would normally not be sympathetic towards them. Secondly, the wife wasnt the one who initited the quarrels before she left. it was the father. in the story it said the wife remained "calm and silent" most of the time so she didnt exactly start the "quarrels". im not saying its wrong to be sympathetic to the father or anything. he does has his own sympathetic points. yep. but i was just suggesting maybe you should exclude the above mentioned points because they dont really create sympathy for the father. ok, thats all for now. -tanya

Okay I shall stop emulating Teow in my behaviour. I do not have Slacker Blood, though i'll be putting history off until the weekend. Or Wednesday, if i'm bored enough. Anyway the father is quite an interesting character, i feel. We see his "acts of bullying" and his infamous bastard behaviour, but have we ever wondered WHY. like, why is he the biggest son of a bitch in the valley (okay i just realized i'm using lots of swears. they're actually from this page of sad quotes i came across just now, but never mind)? It is mentioned that his wife, the mother is a "generous looking woman" that may or may not have provoked his feelings of jealousy. So what is he jealous of? I have come up with a possible reason why he behaves the way he does, like not letting his wife go back to Jamaica - because she is so generous-looking, perhaps he just loves her too much to let her go, like he's afraid of her finding a better life and deserting him completely. as the text mentions, "he had been to see his family". All the mother said was that she wanted a "quiet life" and he would abuse her mentally and she would always let him get away with it, which angered him more. Perhaps he just wants a vent for his frustration, wants the mother to fight back so he can have another reason to be pissed off at her. Okay that's all for now. I'm going to research more on autism :DD - Sardine PS: Happy Teacher's Day everyone. Jiayous for EOYs :DD
