Hi my sweethearts...
Yesterday, my friends and I had read a story entitled Kevin by Catherine Lim.
It is a VERY GOOD and INTERESTING story
I can see myself in this story actually.
In my opinion, we can learnt a lots about this story of Kevin. Kevin is a determined student who want to get a highest places in his class. But actually, he behave like that due to his mother. Kevin is often pressured by his mother to get good graders at school. I don't think his mother care him as a son but only as a ROBOT...his mother always scold him and watching him very closely every second...his mother already prepared various types of punishments if he doesn't get a good grade such as being knocks on the head with the knuckles, knocks on the knuckles with a ruler, twisting of the ears, a withdrawal of permission to watch TV and so on...
I remembered when I was not allowed to watch TV because my result doesn't improved during my elementary school... I have to make sure I had finished my homework before doing that...
Kevin also do not have much freedom in his life... for example, eventhough he come out first in his class, he can't get a reward just like he want...so, we can see that his mother has controlled his life..
in my true life, my father is also a strict father but just a little.. my father resembles Kevin's mother when he always compared her daughters with his friend's daughters especially in exam result....at first, I am sad because I felt that I am not a good daughter but when I reflect back, I know that we have a different ability. So, I have to used my ability to get a good result in exam.... I know that my father just want the best for his daughters...so, I had explained to my father that we always do the best in our life to be an excellent person.
I always motivated my younger sisters when they scared to tell my father about their result but I told them that it is okay..
Back to the Kevin's story, he have a bad personality due to his mother's behaviour. his mother attitudes had influence Kevin's behaviour. he become scare to his mother instead of loving his mother...so that why Kevin do not showed a reaction when his servant told him that his mother has been hospitalized... when he heard about his mother, he just feel relief just because he can avoid to see his mother...
i think that in his future, Kevin will become unindependent person because his mother always make decision for him. so, he can't be a good leader...
as the conclusion,,,we have to keep a good relationship between mother and son so that we can build a happy and loving family..
