My Father Goes to Court - Carlos Bulosan







My Father Goes to Court

The How’s, What If’s and If ever’s:

1.                   How are Filipino neighbors described in the story?

·         Rich but not rich when it comes to the health of their children’s compare to the children’s of poor family. It also shows the big difference between rich and poor family. The rich neighbor in the story reflects the reality in life that if you have money and you are belong to the rich family you can do what you want to do.

2.                   What Filipino values are portrayed by the poor man’s family?

·         Behind of being poor they are rich in laughter and satisfaction. Except that they are happy if their family is complete. That’s the ideal way of living of every Filipinos.

3.                   How does the story reflect the present situation of Filipino families?

·         Being poor is not a matter to live happy and fill in the satisfactions of each family members. Everyone's happy if they are together and united. Even in a simple way of living Filipinos are contented on what they have.

4.                   Does one’s social status affect his way of life, his principles? Why or why not?

·          No, they fight for their right even his family is in that position. Their is no division when it comes to the principles of life. Everyone has the right to stand and fight for their right.

5.                   How does laughter help you as a person?

·          I take it as a reliever. According to the research, laughter is considered as alternative stress and problems reliever unlike to the capsule that we need to intake.So I believe that laughter is the best medicine. 

6.                   What does Bulosan’s My Father Goes to Court tell us about happiness?

·          You don't need to be rich to taste the happiness. You don't need a lot of money to buy happiness. It's a natural 

7.            If ever you have a chance to talk to rich people in a convention, what important reminder will you tell them about living life to the fullest?      

  • We are the same people the only thing that is different  is your status in life. It's not a matter to lived happy. Be humble and generous to every poor family it can't decrease your pride and dignity as a rich people. Life is too short so be kind.
