Structure analysis of the Text (p146)

• In order to highlight the image of the father,
  the author purposely deviates from the theme in
  the middle and describes the fathers indignation
  toward the haughty actress. This event reflects
  the fathers personality, he is a person strict
  in his work and with his company men, and he is
  rigid and rigorous in his manner.

54
Questions for comprehension

• 1.Why was his mothers attitude to Budds poem
  positive and affirmative?
• She poured out her welcome praise and cried
  that she had not expected that her son had such a
  talent for poetry writing. She encouraged the son
  to keep on writing.

55

• 2. How did his father respond to the poem?
• Quite beyond his expectation, his father at
  first ignored his poem and then, when he did
  notice it and read it, he dropped the poem back
  and declared that it is lousy, which hurt Budd
  severely.

56

• 3. What was his fathers response to Budds poem?
  How was that different from his mothers?
• Unlike his mother, his father denounced the
  poem as lousy and very rudely declared that he
  had the right to tear apart his stuff because he
  thought it was lousy. This was quite beyond
  Budds expectation. While his mother showed her
  understanding and support to the son, his father
  compared the sons first try in poetry to the
  work of his colleagues in the studio, which were,
  to him, both lousy and thus wasted his time and
  money in reading such stuff.

57

• 4. What kind of man was his father?
• He was strict in his work, but seemed too
  rough and tough on his colleagues. Rigorous and
  merciless, his father showed a love to the son
  which was quite different from his mother. His
  love was a kind of strength or force, which
  called Budds attention to his work constantly
  and urged him to review and to improve.

58

• Can you describe the mothers love?
• How is the fathers love?
• Which kind of love is important to the childrens
  growth, the mothers or the fathers?
• How does your mother show her love to you?
• How about your father? Is he as strict as the
  father we learnt in the text? How do you feel
  about this kind of love?

The Opposing Forces of Love in My Life

• Like the majority of the children, the opposing
  forces of love accompany my growth.
• There is no doubt that mothers love is the most
  selfless one in the world. Mother usually treats
  their children as a part of themselves. In my
  memory, mother never reproaches me or rebukes me,
  says nothing of beat. Each time when I make some
  mistakes, mother will forgive me soon and tell me
  not to do that with a smile. Even when I make a
  blunder, mother reprimands me . she will use some
  instructive stories to help me make a clear
  distinction between right and wrong.

109

• At one time, I burned a hole in her favorite
  skirt with incaution. I dared no to tell the
  truth to my mother. When mother found it,she told
  me a story of Washington cut down the cherry
  trees, winch his father liked best,and how he
  took courage to admit his mistakes After
  listening to this story,I felt very ashamed,and
  told my mother the truth tat it was I who burned
  her skirt. Unexpectedly, mother didnt blame me
  for doing that instead she praised me for
  admitting my mistakes on my own. From then on,I
  realized the importance of honesty and never made
  the same mistake. I enjoyed my mothers
  unconditional,gentle and tender love.

110

• In contrast to my loving mother, my father is a
  rather rational person. He is discreet in speech
  and manner. Unlike my mother, he seldom speaks
  highly of me. I have been eager to know why my
  father isnt satisfied with me. Each time when I
  was awarded as three excellences student or
  granted with scholarships. my mother poured out
  her welcome praises, he just asked me not to be
  proud and pointed out my shortcomings. his
  reaction made me frustrated. My father is very
  responsible for his work. .He often works late at
  night, and he tries his best to accomplish his
  job. From him, I learn that I should be
  responsible for my job and take the things
  seriously.

111

• I need the mother force, the loving force which
  encourage me when I face up with difficulties and
  challenges and from which my inspiration of
  creation comes and yet mothers love is not
  incomplete, without the father force to temper my
  rampant self-conceit with his hard-headed and
  realistic appraisal of myself. What I should do
  now is to navigate my own craft and follow the
  right course.
