I’m sure we all have experience a lot of family issues. In
the secret life of bees which is one of the novel I read recently, there have
been a lot of conflicts in the family up to a point where Lily which is the
main character decided to run away from his evil, non-loving father (That’s how
I see him as). Lily hated his father for not treating her well. She doesn’t even
call him ‘dad’ can you imagine that? Lily’s hatred had led her to run away from
home without thinking of the consequences.
Now, I’m pretty sure you have been in this situation before
in which you were so angry up to a point that you wanted to leave. Don’t lie to
me hahaha. I still remember when I tried to run away from home. As a kid and
even now, I hate losing hahahaha. Not sure why but maybe it’s because of my name
‘Zafry’ as it means ‘’Victory’’ in Arabic. On that day, I remember my brother making
fun of me after losing in a game. On the same day, I had an argument with my
mom. I can’t remember much of what we argued or maybe she was siding with my
brother, but I remember that I was similar to a kettle boiling extremely hot
hahaha that’s how mad I was. I remember telling my mom that nobody loves me
hahaha. Then, I locked myself in the room and began throwing in clothes inside
my bag. As soon as I got out of my room my mom told me “You leaving, where are
you heading to?’’ Then, I question myself hahaha thinking of an answer. I went
back to my room and locked myself again until my dad comes home and calm me down. kids, ''Don't try this at home.'' hahaha
Now that I think about it a kid with no money trying to
leave the house hahahaha how funny is that. I realized that when a kid or even
now, when people are mad, they don’t think before they do things. They tend to
react irrationally. They don’t plan on what they are going to do next which is
similar to Lily when Rosaleen asked her what’s her plan after saving her. My
advice to my fellow readers is that when you are angry, try to calm yourself
down and think about the situation. If it is your fault, apologize, if it is
their fault leave it or handle it positively. Don’t ever ever blame others for
your mistakes and DON’T EVER ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE.
-Peace :)
i feel you man, but i never really pack my bag to leave my house. hhahah. i think it is just the middle child syndrome like what fatini keep mentioning about.
ReplyDeleteZafreeeeeee, I'm glad you didn't leave your house.. if not we wouldn't have met in KMB.. ;) Anyway for me,
ReplyDeletehome is where the heart is or where it should be. For me, home is where you get unconditional love. Home is where my parents are :) Of course there will always be tough times but running away is never a good solution.. I pray for all lost souls out there to always have a home to come back to.. Maybe Lily didn't feel at `home' with T-Ray. Maybe to her, home was where her mother was.. And maybe, running away for her was good since she found a home in the pink house.. :)
I agree teacher but at the end of the book/novel, i was wondering what would happen if T-Ray had brought her home, will she still be 'tortured' or will T-Ray have a change in personality. I'm just curious hahahaha.
