2nd Independent Reading Response

Kathleen went a birthday party for Carson who invited her to the party with her friends, Holly and Raina. Holly wanted to go a birthday party so she might play in the huge pool but her father found out a white-bikini which she bought secretly. Of course he got angry and he said it’s too early to wear it because she is just fifteen years old. After that, he decided Holly to not go to the party. Holly got angry but on the next day is Father’s Day. Even though she got angry at him, she gives him some present for him.

This reminds me my father because he always complained what I do. When I wanted to go SEASAC baseball tournament at Myanmar, I need to get admission from my father so I asked him. However, he said now Myanmar is dangerous, and it was important time for me because I had to prepare for applying Japanese university. I argued with him a lot and finally I couldn’t go there so I was so upset at him. Soon after, Father’s Day came but I didn’t do/say anything for him. So I felt my experience is same as Holly’s but my act is worse than her.

yeah, in my head, i realize they do this because they care me. because they like me.
but my body never follow what i really want to do to them.
to fix this, i need time.
the time to make me cool.
the time to make me grown man.
the time to make me be honest.
yow know, actually this looks silly to Thai people because they've never fight against with their parents. it's Thai culture.

I think that it's important to recognize that parents will make decisions with which we will disagree. Some of these decisions are wise; others are unwise. In either case, the decisions are based on love. It's okay to be angry about the decision but it's unfair to punish a parent for making a decision that is made with love in the heart.

Taku's comments are very wise as they point out the necessity to keep a cool head. To do this one needs time.
