Discussion Leader. Section 4. Pages 87-114. Alex Webster


Given that you were in Barbara’s situation, what would you have done when Holly injured her ankle and why?
I would have gone to see if she was okay and try to help her out as much as possible. I would have helped her with her work and told her to go to the hospital. But I wouldn’t have gone and yelled at her and yelled at Ted. It is not my life so I would have left the decision to her. She is an adult and can make her own decisions.
In this section Ted says, “Well, I’m a parent too, and that doesn’t make me less of a person.” To which Barbara responds with “It’s supposed to make you more of a person.” Do you agree with Barbara and why?
                In some ways she is right and in other ways not. Parents seem to be more of a person in general to their kids. They stick up for them do things for them and forgive them. But that doesn’t seem to translate to the general public. Most adults are parents yet they don’t act motherly or fatherly towards the general public. If they did people would be more forgiving and want better things for each other.
                In your opinion is someone lazy who has their house cleaned by professional cleaners?
                Yes, I would find it extremely weird to have other people in my house cleaning it especially if I was there while they were doing it. If you are there to supervise them that makes you look like you so against work that you will stand and watch someone else do it. I have never had anyone outside my family clean our house and I would never want someone to do it. Unless you live in a huge mansion where you would never be able to clean the whole thing then I do not see a reason to have someone clean for you.
If you were forced to permanetly work a low paying job, what kind of job would you want to work and why?
I would continue to work at my job as a grocery clerk. It pays a decent amount and is not to hard. I get to talk and nothing is to strict. I would also be in charge so i would be able to do more of what I want. Finally I get along well with my co-workers and boss.
