Fun Home-the inspiration
While reading Fun Home, I wondered how it can be related to my story. After thinking about it for a while I remembered how a bad incident happened in Fun Home like my story. Allison's dad died, and this was a huge issue for her family. Each family member of Allison's family was affected by her father's death. However, eventually the family members including Allison overcame their difficulty. After Allison's father's death, her family members became closer. Allison also started to understand more about her father after his death. Perhaps his death gave her time to think about him in order to understand him better. Without her father's death she would not have reflected on her father and have tried to understand him. This resembles my story: when four of my friends including me had our first fight at Emory. After having our first fight , we overcame the struggle and became even closer like Allison's family members. We started to understand about each other after the fight. The struggle gave us time to think about how each us behaved before the fight happened, and this led us to becoming closer. A bad incident can lead to a better situation by giving people time to think about their behaviors that led up to the situation.
