Q2. Kezia decides that there are “different kinds of fathers”. What kind of father was Mr. Macdonald, and how was he different from Kezia’s father?
 

Dear Student,
 
Kezia compared her father with Mr. MacDonalds who lived next door. One day she saw him playing 'tag' with his five kids. Mr MacDonalds was enjoying playing with his children and was just opposite to Kezia's father. Kezia's father was very strict and harsh whereas Mr. MacDonalds was very kind to his children. This made her understand that there were different sorts of fathers.
This statement reveals that Kezia had always seen her father to be a strict and harsh man. Her father never played with her and had always behaved in a disciplined manner. He had treated her in such a way that she thought all fathers are like him. But when she saw Mr. MacDonalds, she observed that he was unlike her father and this made her change her opinion about fathers.

Regards

Dear student,

In Kezia's opinion, her father was very harsh. He did not talk to her affectionately but rather he used to speak to her stringently. So she avoided him. She did not want to be in front of him because she was afraid of him. Moreover, her father never spent time with her. Macdonald family lived next door to her house. One evening she saw him playing tag with his children. A baby was on his shoulders and two little girls were hanging on to his coat pockets. They were laughing. Also, she saw some boys turn the hose on Macdonald and he tried to catch them laughing all the time. She found them feel friendly with their father. So, she wished if her father were like them.

Regards.
