1st homestay

Someday, this was happened after I had arrived in Toronto of Canada.

Homestay Father(HF below this line) : Why was you late to call my wife you are going to late for dinner?

Jay: Oh, Actually I think I don't be late, but..

HF: Don't excuse. Just say sorry.

Jay: Oh, I'm sorry.

HF: And did you complain through your agency?

Jay: Pardon?

HF: Did you complain through your agency? Yes or no?

Jay: Yes, I did.

HF: Do you live with me or with your agency?

Jay: Pardon?(I was too nervous to listen his saying. I had thousands of butterflies in my stomach in that time)

HF: Don't pretend not to understand! You are level 5 student.

Jay: I didn't pretend, and I'm serious!!

HF: You... blah blah blah... (His face flushed with anger, and he said so fast that I could not hear at all)

Jay: You are angry with me.

HF: I don't angry at all! I'm teaching you! (Actually, I heard he was teacher. This is true.)
blah blah blah....(It was so fast again) Do you understand now?

Jay: Yes, I understand. (No, I pretended.)

HF: What was your falt?

Jay: ......

HF: What are you thinking about?

Jay: I'm just searching what is my fault. I mean...

HF: You think you don't have any fault?

Jay: No, I'm just seeking the right words to explain my fault!

HF: Don't excuse! blah blah blah...

I pray that nothing will be happened again like this.

Little Miss Sunshine

11. How does the father influence the girl?

The father discouraged the girl, but sometimes he encouraged her. At first, his influence was negitive. When the family ate together in a restaurant, he told his daughter that eating icecream prevented winning the Little Miss Sunshine pageant. This depressed Olive, and she didn't eat her icecream. However, in later time he encouraged his daughter. He gave her good example to execute what grand father always say, the winner is the one who carry out what he is thinking. I think the action he showed at the hospital made her decide to dance on the stages. All in all, the father gave significant influences positively or impositively.


19. What is the father's idea of success? Is the father a winner or a looser? Explain your answer.

He is a winner. the grand father define a winner a person who excutes what remains in one's mind. Also there is a statistical research, and it's results tell us that every people can regret something, but successful people usually regret what he should not have done, in contrast unsuccessful people usually regret what he should have done. The father just did what he believe right. For example, he carried his father's body to Califonia, and he danced on the stage to help her daughter. To sum up, he is a winner whatever his social status is.
