response to Anthony

I agree with Anthony’s opinion. Violence will not solve any problems; instead it will increase more problems. Apa hits Young and Ama in order for them to listen to what he says and follow what he wants. Due to his reckless and irresponsible action, he ended up in jail. Since the family has moved to the United States, Apa seldom communicate with Ama anymore. Apa has no more quality time with his family because he is so busy working to achieve his dream. Apa is too focus on materialistic of the world and values very little in family’s relationship. However, Young is a very brave and strong girl. Even though she has very little love from her parents, she understands the troubles that her mother is facing. Young doesn’t blame her mother for being poor or for marrying a man like Apa, instead she works really hard to achieve the 1st position in class and work part time to help out with the family’s financial problem. However, I feel happy for Young, Ama and Joon that Apa has left, but I feel sad at the same time. A family without a father is incomplete. Maybe Apa doesn’t want to be the “bad” man either, he is just too stress up and depressed living in a competitive world, and he needs support form his family, but he only gets his wife’s nagging every time he comes home. Ama should be more flexible to Apa and every time there is a problem, they should sit down and talk.
