During the Simon’s (Matt and Marie’s son) birthday party, there were some conversations between Kate, Daniel and Kate, Marie; Marie told Kate to face the truth that Matt’s life was not a failure, and he love his son, his family and the farm. The most important thing that bothered Matt, however, was that Kate cannot forgive Matt and cannot understand him. Daniel also has made some progress (Page 281-282); he tells Kate to look at real world too; also, Daniel point out that Kate had put the story in a place that was too heavy. Actually, Matt did not change after being a famer. He can be a scholar; however, he just found out he like farming, too.
He promised, hand on heart, to take good care of me and have me home for dinner on Christmas Eve” (Wolff 1). He was very attentive and tried his best to make things work. Unlike the type of father that is characterized in “Powder” the father in “Reunion” seems to be less attentive to his son. For Charlie’s father appears to be trying to pick fights with waiters saying things like
Nick also shows that he is caring at Gatsby’s funeral when he tells Gatsby’s father that him and Gatsby “were close friends” (Fitzgerald 176). Considering not many people attended Gatsby’s funeral, Nick tries to advise Gatsby’s father that his son’s house was always filled with people and friends, although it is not the truth. He senses the father’s sensitivity and takes that into consideration when talking to his about his son. In conclusion, Gatsby shows good character when he was respectful in deciding not to judge people and when he was ashamed of himself after Gatsby’s party, trustworthiness when he told Gatsby to let Daisy go and when he admits he is honest, and caring as he helped Gatsby with Daisy and reassures Jay Gatsby’s father at his funeral. This shows that although Nick can be selfish sometimes, he is mainly a good man.
A final example is when he sneaks in to see his younger sister Phoebe. Both were happy to see one another. He even “quit worrying about whether they’d catch [him] at home or not” (163). By not caring about whether his parents caught him and going to see Phoebe showed that Holden was searching for a family, and that same feeling of something constant in his life. The reconnections with something have shown his attempts at trying to find that
In the 1950s, people acted traditionally and old-fashioned. Therefore, the families portrayed in television were traditional, old-fashioned, obedient, and responsible. However, as the years progressed, society changed and the people became more free, open-minded, united, and dysfunctional. The Motion picture industry progressed as the television would, but would its progression be
The parents attend parties and invite their neighbors to super bowl parties. In times of tragedy and natural disasters these neighbors are there with love and support. However, when fear strikes a neighborhood and families are pitted against families, loyal and true neighbors are difficult if not impossible to find. Rod Serling’s Twilight Zone episode “The Shelter” explores the fleeting nature of true friendship. Most friendships are superficial and are based upon good times and happy moments.
In addition, in the near end of the movie, Brian makes the group and viewers have to thinking by very meaningful question: “Come Monday, are we all friends?” By this question, the “brain” once again express that he have changed. That is why he asks the question to make sure if anyone among the students has the same feeling with him. Brian is willing to change by making friends with the “out-cast”. He does not care about how different they are; as long as he believes they are his best friends. By that touching question, Brian seems to want to break his original stereotype as a meekness person and become more confident to connect with different types of student.
I guess you can say her role in life is to be happy, live comfortably financially and do everything she can to make her family comfortable and happy. When it came to asking my boss Kevin, his response I found to be quite shocking. He said his expectations and strategies for managing a family were completely what he expected. He went to college, he has a great job, he comes home, still does some work and in that extra time, he will spend time with his kids and his wife. Between the two responses, I don’t really see a difference in their answers.
