The article"Sunday in the Park" is written by Bel Kaufman. This article talks about a couple brings their son to the park on Sunday. When their son plays on sandbox, the other child also plays with it. Suddenly, other child throws a spadeful of sand to their son. The wife wants to stop that child, but the child throws another a spadeful of sand to their son. While she scolds at this child, the child's dad comes here. He thinks his son is doing right thing, so both parents argue with each other except fighting. Then, the couple takes their son to home when their son cries. But this son does not stop crying even louder than before, the husband disciplines on his son and the wife looks him with contempt.
Question:
Does the husband really discipline his son?
What is the meaning of last sentence,"You and who else?"
Why does the couple pulls away those two sandy when they leaves the park?
Interpretation:
I think both parents have their own problem with their children. One side,when the child throws a spadeful of sand to other child, his father has to stop and discipline his child who makes a mistake. On the other side, the couple can not put their angers on their son, they should comfort their son. All in all, children are easy to get hurt. Parents should set a good example to their children because parents' behaviors will affect children a lot.
