Questions of Bowling to Find a Father 

1. The reason her father came back to bowl was because he felt an emotional closness with his children that he missed so much. 

2. Yes, I agree with her. Th reason I agree with her is because when her family lived in Laos they were always working. This was part of the Hmong culture plus the children do not go to school or play games. But in the American culture children go to school, play video games and practice different sports. Just by knowing this I could sense her father all frustrated and sad because he was so coupled with work and now that he lives in the United States he doesn't have so much work to do and his children adopted the American culture so well that he didn't know how to spend some quality time his children. And for a parent a problem like this makes them feel like they don't belong in this world. 

3. The author feels odd because is not common for a daughter or son to teach something to their parents. Yes I have taught my mother how to use the internet appropriately. When I Taught my mother I felt normal because she wasn't used to something like that and I felt very proud of it.

Bowling to find a father

Essay

When I was 17 years old I had a very special friend whom now I don’t have the same relationship with. The reason I don’t have the same friendship with that person is because we had a lot of problems.  Right now, I still talk to him like nothing happen, but deep inside I still want to recover that friendship.   It is not an easy task to fix our relationship but it is possible.

His name was Luis Perez and he was 26 years old and he was studying psychology.  Our friendship was  unique and special.  The reason for this is because we got to know each other like no one else could. Also, Luis was the only friend that helped me got over a depression that I had in 11th grade. Ever since I finished the 11th grade, we considered ourselves like brothers that would always be there for each other no matter what.  This was until a year later our problems began to destroy the friendship.  After many discussions we decided to end our friendship.

Two years has passed since the fight I had with him.  In between those two years I began to miss him.  That is why I decided to talk to him again to resolve our past,  because this type of  friendship is difficult to find nowadays.   The only way to  re-establish this friendship is by talking face to face.  At the same time I should analyze and improve everything I had done wrong in the relationship to avoid a problem like it again. Finally,  If we resolve our problem like grown up men, we could re-form and strengthen the relationship.  Another positive outcome we could get out of this is to value our friendship and that we should not let the problems get the best of us.
