Author's point of view:
According to the story “Sunday in the Park”, the story begins with wonderful Sunday evening. Everyone seems to be relaxed in the public playground. Then, the story goes in conflict between two families that have a big difference such as personality of those characters, manner, and lifestyle. The difference of the conflict is going to tell us about their education, career, and socioeconomic status.
Morton, the professor, is very polite, but sometime he shows his weakness to his wife in this situation. On the contrary, the big guy is very rude that show about his education and his social manner. There are definitely different. Meanwhile their children inherit their behavior from their parent.
They have a big argument in the public place. Morton doesn’t want to fight and choose to leave, otherwise he tries to defense his family but it doesn’t work. His wife seems not understand his point why he decides to leave instead of fighting.
Personal reflection:
Being polite sometime shows the weakness, yet being more powerful by getting fight each other not the best solution in this situation. Morton who the leader of the family doesn’t want to rude in font of his son and make the situation goes bigger while his wife don’t understand.
Actually, this situation happens in my life. For example, when I was in the line to the restroom in the shopping mall where was located in the middle-or-low-class area in my country. There was a girl come over my point and pretended that nothing happened. At the time I was very disappointed and considered that it was not good to argue with that person. I think that she might not be good enough education or lack of good manner. It was useless to make argument with her. I decided to be silent rather than fighting at that situation like Morton did.

hum~, sometimes if you really argue with someone who has different thinking with you, this is waste your power. if you see this situation again, how about try to commnunicate with her with your smile and say "lady, i am watting this poision, thanks." if she still does not response, kick her ass! oh, no no, let her go...
yes,i think so.sometimes,one's behavior make us uncomfortable.it's so annoying. and we guess their educational background. i'm confused. i've learned i should not have any prejudices with other person. what can i do???
good advice.. i like you last suggestion. haha...
Pitta:)
I agree with your opinion generally, but wanted share with u my opinion about one moment in that story. U wrote that "Morton who the leader of the family doesn’t want to rude in font of his son..." But what do u think about that he showed his weakness and defenceless in front of his family. Doesn't it more negative effecting than just avoiding the rude?
You kept silent, same as the story. So, the final result is you had to suffer with that situation while that girl could go to restroom before you. Poor Pitta. Go ahead, throw everything you want. Hehe. (just kidding)
^^ P'taew..your writing is so popular(Don-rum). I know why you act like that because sometimes so do I. Sometimes, I have to analyze the girl's intention in order to react that kind of rude manner. If she just doesn't notice that there has a queue, I will forgive her and may tell her if necessary. But if it really is her intention to do so, I also avoid fighting. There is nothing to do with bad people. It is not time to teach the strangers when they already have chose the way of their life. Moreover, bad people may interpret our goodwill to something boring or abusive and may do anything unpredictable back to us. So I think it's better to avoid. However, usually I assume that everyone has good intention. If there is the worst case scenario happens, I have to relieve my anger by thinking that she must have some problems with herself. Poor her. Poor her future. Anyway no fighting.
