Taximan's story~Discussion questions
1. What is the irony of the story?
Even though the taximan objects strongly that young people should not be going out after school to play the fool but go home to study, he still goes and fetch them around to wherever they want.
2.What are the themes raised in the stories?
Self-esteem is a theme in the story as the teenagers are acting like whores, that does not deserve respect.
3.How realistic in this story?
Teenagers nowadays are all rebel their parents as they are getting more and more independence and peer pressure. Some peers are more rebellious and when they influence their friends, their friends also become rebellious, which is true in real life.
4.What do you think of the taximan? Do you feel sympathy for him?
No, I definitely do not feel any sympathy for him. If he wants his daughter to stop acting like a whore, he should not even go to places like Elroy Hotel to fetch these teenagers, causing his daughter, naturally, to think that her father allows others to act like a fool and she would definitely become more rebellious.
5.Do you agree with his lamenting?
Yes, his lamenting stated lots of facts in real life. Teenagers nowadays tend to be out of control and parents should be strict with their children, in order to be able to halt them from any corruption.
6. What about the other characters in the story? Do you feel sympathy for them?
I don't feel sympathy for the teenagers as they acted like they were prostitutes, cheap and good-for-nothing. However, their parents deserve to be sympathise as their children are rebellious and even become so cheap just to make love, which is why it is difficult for a parent to bring up a child well.
