Assignment:
1. What was that caused
Her's father to go bowling a second time?
She says that she thinks that her father went
bowling again because of the emotional closeness that he felt while
playing bowling with her brother, her sisters and her.
2. Do you agree with Her
that it must've been "frightening" for her father to live with
children who had adopted American culture and an American lifestyle? In a
sentence or two explain how he must have felt.
Yes, I do agree it must have been frightening because he
was in a place he knew he didn't belonged. I think, he even saw how his
children were changing and adapting to their new country and the
culture that surrounded them that made him think that his family
that was not his.
3.
Why does the author feels "odd" teaching her father to bowl? Have you
ever taught a parent or grandparent something new- perhaps how
to use a cellphone, send an email, or conduct an Internet search? Explain the
feelings you experienced as you did this. Were you proud? Excited? Embarrassed?
I think she
feels odd because she know how to play and since she has to teach him since the
start, it can make her feel strange. I have though both of my parents in how to
use a recent smartphone, they knew how to mark the numbers and how make a call
but they didn't knew how to save numbers, how to send a text or even use any
other application on the phone. I taught them how to use,
it took me almost a month, because every time something wrong happened, my
father would get angry and we would start a fight trying to explain it to him
again, while my mother, she is more patient, would try again and
again until she get it right. I felt really proud after that month because they
can do anything with their phones. Now they even download apps, buy things or
even create group chats in seconds. I'm really proud and feel happy of them.
"Was I waiting for
him to make the first move?" - Mee Her
Since
I have knowledge, I have been really close with my brother, or was close. We
have a gap of age difference of 11 years but we had never fought or never stay
without talking for a long time when we lived together. At the age of 12, he
was 23 years old, he left our house and moved to the United States to continue
his studies. It was a really difficult time because he was the person I love
and spent time the most, even more than my parents. He came once or twice
a year, and with that started growing apart. He had change and had mature and I
had grown up and could see the things different now. Recently we had a fight
because of some things that have been happening in the last 5 years, and I
couldn't take it anymore. In this moment we aren't talking because of it and
its really difficult for my parents because we are their children and we are
separated. I want to fix this relationship because I know I'm hurting my
parents and that both of us are suffering.
There
are many ways to establish a closer and stronger relationship. A first thing
you could do, as an older brother or sister, you could start assisting or going
to the activities your younger brother or younger sister has, like graduations,
some family dinners, celebrations of good grades, birthdays, etc. Another thing
you could text him/her every two or three days to see how he/she is doing or
comment on their social network page. You can also plan a trip together to an
outside country or in your same country but far. Talk about the things that are
happening around him/her or in their house. Try to look for him/her and do
activities like playing games or going out and hang out with friends. In my case,
I'm going to talk with my brother. Explain him how I feel and why I didn't talk
with him before.
I know that after talking to him and
putting everything out, our relationship will be closer, we won’t get away or
apart anymore. We won’t make suffer our parents again for things like this and
most importantly we won’t suffer anymore. I hope that the talking work, if not
I will write him a letter, but I’m pretty sure the talk will help.
