Conflict: Father

Parent child relationship has never been easy. We can easily recognise it in the texts that we have been reading. I preferred m new(prenominal) by Grace Paley and Father by Yasushi Inouye. The infringe in the relationship between parent and children is not very clear in those texts, but it is present. What re eithery captured my attention was how in both texts this meshing was resolved by the death of the parents. I also want how both authors painted the caring of a parent for his child. I think that both texts have a valuable les discussion that we should not take thing for granted.The conflict in the relationship between parent and child in mother is the most common one we come upon in our world today. Kids often slip their parents advice for annoying scolding that is not important. In Mother the story starts with a girl having a flashback about her mother which is caused by a song that she heard in the radio. Oh I long to see My Mother in the Doorway says the song. She had ma ny other memories with her mother of melody but she in particular remembers her mom standing in the admittance, educating her. If you come home at 4 A.M. when youre s purgeteen, what time impart you come home when youre twenty? Of course at that time she was still young and only taught about the present and the fun part of life, and felt like her mother was being annoying with all her scolding and complaints. She barely listened to what her mother had to say, still doing whatever she felt like doing. She didnt value the lessons her mother was trying to learn her. I also tonicity that because her mother was ever so trying to educate her she attached herself to her dad who seemed more tolerant than her mother.It shows when she evokes her don in her memory of her mother urging her to go to quietude instead of staying in front of the TV. Go to sleep for godsakes, you damn fool, you and your communist ideas. We saw them already, Papa and me, in 1905. The conflict in Father on the other hand is different. Whereas I Mother you can deduct that the mother of the narrator is acting the way she is because she loves her child, you cannot say the same for the narrators father in Father. You can at first discover the lack of affection in the relationship between the father and his son when the father takes his sons hands into his on his death bed. Since father had never done anything like that before, I could not understand what he wanted. This just shows that there has never, not even once been a demonstration of affection between his father and him. The conflicts in both texts get resolved by death. In both text the narrators realize how much their parent loved and cared about them. In mother the narrator wishes she could see her mother in every doorway, ready to scold her or teach her a new lesson. She now realizes that her mother her mother did everything she did because she loved her.It is only now that she understands the troubles, the worries, and sadnes s that she brought to her mother when she was younger. The fact that she remembers it and wishes to see her mother in the doorway I wish I could see her in the doorway, shows in my opinion how much she regrets acting the way she did, how much she wishes her mom could be there to see that now she is grown and is behaving well, that she heard her every time she tried to teach her a lesson. In Father death also resolves the conflict in the relationship between the father and the son.In the text when the authors father likewisek his hands into his, he never really understood what it meant. For round time after Fathers death this incident stayed in my mind, and I speculated about it like one obsessed. It did not occur automatically to him that his father took his hand into his because he wanted to show him that he loved him. It is only when he reached about the age his father retired that he understood fully that his father loved him and that he was acting the way he did because he lo ved him.As he is getting closer to death he realizes that his father was always so cynical because he knew he was dying from cancer, and wanted to protect them from death. I also became aware that one of the roles father performed in his lifetime was to justification me from death. I also think that just like in mother the narrator feels some sort of regret. He never understood his father and fagged year trying to be his exact opposite From the time I was a student I consciously willed myself not to think like Father, not to behave like him.Now that he understands why his father was acting the way he did he feels like he has been a little too harsh on him. One thing Liked about both texts was the love of both parents. They both died worrying about their children. The father taking his sons hand in Father shows many worries worry that he will die without his children knowing that he loves them, worry about how well they will do without him, worry about the image they will keep of him. In Mother the narrators mother shows her worry more clearly thusly the ather in Father. She keeps wondering about what her daughter will become when she is not there which makes us wonder if she has a fatal illness. You never finish your lunch. You overflow around senselessly. What will become of you? Then she died A lot of times we dont realize the importance of what we have until we lose it. In this supposition often applies to children and their parents. We teenagers often dont value our parents, what we dont realize is that we cant live without them.
