B.B. and The Taximan Story

Today our class had a discussion about two stories: B.B. and The Taximan Story.I was asked to write about my opinion on both stories.First, lets talk about B.B.
B.B.
B.B. is a story that tells you about a family in which the parents argue often and they prevent the argument by not telling their husband/wife but their daughter, B.B. instead. In the start of the story, B.B. shared a good relation with his father, as he told her secrets that her mother did not know. However, at the end of the story, the relationship became worse as some of the secrets B.B. must keep made her feel pressurized. B.B. had a better relationship with her mother towards the end of the story, because they were forced to live together without her father.
I think that the main reason for all the things happening is that the parents of B.B. often misunderstood each other and in order to prevent that misunderstanding, they decided to keep secrets from each other.
The Taximan Story
The Taximan Story is a story that presents to you the point of view of a parent( the taximan).The Taximan was a strict father and he believe in beating the child to let him/her learn.His youngest daughter, Lay Choo, was a victim of his beating.While I believe that children should have the rights to do anything they want, I also beileve that Lay Choo crossed the line.She should be studying, while her father is out there trying to earn more money to allow her to go to university, instead of taking advantage of the fact that her father is busy and do some other things.
I think the main reason why these things are happening is because the taximan and his wife did not make Lay Choo respect them.

Inspired by Ice-Cream to continue living

This blog had not been updated for a long time, and could be known as DEAD, but due to the delicious ice-cream, it was inspired and decided to continue living.

yum yum

I glanced at the ice cream.It sure looked appealing, even though it seemed to be melting.Should I eat it now, or put it in the freezer first.I debated with myself for a few moments and decided to put it in the freezer first.However, when I looked at it, I could not resist the urge.I tried to tell myself not to eat it now, but I (somehow) am unable to do that. I wolfed it down...

ice cream

I just ate finish an ice cream.It was so nice that I decided to eat the scrumptious food slowly.I licked it slowly, and when it was about to melt I started opening my mouth wide to eat it with relish, just in case it melts and my ice cream became a juice instead.Wow! That was ultra-delectable!lets have more! Just as I was about to get another one, I heard a knock on the door.Uh-oh. My father reached home.

difference between the way up to heaven and lamb to the slaughter

The way up to heaven:Mr Foster was killed by being trapped in a lift. Mrs Foster planned the murder. Mrs Foster was fearful of being late and Mr Foster always wants to make he worried by making her wait unnecessarily. Mrs Foster's alibi is the driver of her house.
Lamb to the slaughter:Mr Maloney was killed by being hit on his head by a piece of frozen lamb. Mrs Maloney hit her husband without planning. Mrs Maloney always thought that her family is prefect and is too easily contended. Mr Maloney did not want his wife to be too caring as it may affect his career, so, he plans to leave his wife. Mrs Maloney's alibi is sam.
There may be many differences between the way up to heaven and lamb to the slaughter, but they are also similar in many ways. They both show that sometimes women can be very shrewd. It also shows us that we should not try to purposely piss someone off and that we should spent some time with the family, and not think about work or school(or computer games) everytime.
