Sympathy
Earlier in class, we discussed about how the Joad Family in "The Grapes of Wrath" was very sympathetic. Is your family sympathetic? Mine sure is. When there is someone who needs help, my parents would provide more than enough support that is needed to the point where it hurts their funds. Also, what would your parents do if a friend of yours wants to move with you to another state because he/she has nowhere else to go, similarly with Jim Casy? I highly doubt my parents would let anyone else besides the family to come unless if my friend can prove him or herself worthy. What are your thoughts?

Tommy, my family is definitely sympathetic. They may not outwardly show it, but their actions prove otherwise. As a matter of fact, for the past year or so my parents have been loaning money and housing for my cousin's family. We don't really have much, but family helps each other out-especially during times of need.
ReplyDeleteIf a friend of mine wanted to move with me to another state because they have nowhere else to go, then my family would probably say sure. As long as they are able to carry their own weight and help out then there shouldn't really be much of a problem.
Fortunately, I was blessed with a very sympathetic family. My parents are always willing to support anyone in need even if one has committed mistakes as they acknowledge that no one is perfect and that everyone has the right to have a second chance. I might not always been on my family's good side, but I never forget that they will always have my back regardless of my actions so I'm very grateful to have them.
ReplyDeleteTo be completely honest I am pretty sure my parents would not be okay with a friend moving with us, but for sure would try to help them with funds a bit. Now if it was family, then my parents would be completely on board as they are always willing to support the family in rough times. We have already housed some family members so there is no reason we would not do it again. Great question Tommy!
To be frank, I was also blessed to have a very sympathetic family. My parents know what it was like to struggle and need help, so they would never turn down a fella in need. I have seen many instances of my parents helping others so I know that it's a fact that if this situation came up they wouldn't hesitate to carry someone along with them. That is a good question tommy it really makes us think of what our parents would do!
ReplyDeleteGreat question Tommy, and I think I would be on the same boat as everyone else!My parents are definitely very sympathetic.
ReplyDeleteI feel like my family is sympathetic to an extent. There is a small fraction of them where what you want to be or what you say will not be supported by my family. They're not as sympathetic as I would like them to be. But they will help if they can.
ReplyDeleteAs for assisting a friend to another state, my parents wouldn't be too happy about it. They won't show it but it would be out of the question.
There are different level of sympathy, my family is sympathetic, but mostly to those that are close to us. We help people that really need help. My aunt have have a group home, wither it is due to responsibility or just that we really what those senior live a little healthier, longer, and happier, we try to meet their needs and give them some advice on their living hobbits(p.s.: They smoke A LOT). To out family, we think one can work its way out of poverty, so we see those people who stand by the freeway exits and ask for money, we never really give them any money before. Again, we think that no one can help you other than yourself, we feel sad for those who have to live on the street, but any cause have a reason.
ReplyDeleteMy parents try to express sympathy and empathy when ever an opportunity presents its self.
