Comparative Analysis
Buneng and The
Taximan’s Story
Buneng and The Taximan’s Story are only some of the
best short stories of the world that every reader must have to witness. Both
stories portray the true meaning of life and on how we will be going to spend
the rest of it.
The two stories talk about how the two fathers from
different scenarios were able to influence the decisions of their children.
Furthermore, the stories also explained the two ways on how to discipline your
child despite of some conflicts that might arouse.
On the other hand, the two fathers aimed to give a
bright future for their siblings, because parents knows best – they really know
what is good from what is bad for the betterment of the family.
Another similarity, the stories also showed how much
teenagers nowadays were able to adopt the ambiance of the modern world. It was
a great proof that children became so weak, spoiled, and self-centered.
There are also scenes in the stories wherein it
depicts the importance of trust. It shows how much people tried to take it for
granted and how this trust was so difficult to regain.
We don’t even try to understand our parents because
we all know, everything that we do are right. Sometimes we don’t even think how
much every moment was too precious. Decision dominates all the things that we
do and that were the main point of the two stories. Both of those stories,
aimed to touch the hearts of some children, not just only children but also to
all people how much advises and restrictions were so very important.
Comparative Analysis
Buneng and The
Taximan’s Story
If there are things
that are similar, there are also some points that things tends to be different.
One of the differences in the two stories is that, Buneng was written by an
Ilocano writer while The Taximan’s Story was written by a Singaporean writer. Andres
was the one narrating the story whereas on the other one, it was the taximan.
The two stories
focused on the different on how a parent disciplined his sibling. Andres’
father has done indirect value to his son which Andres were not able to feel
that treatment. On the other scenario, the taximan let her daughter do what she
wants because he believes that his daughter will do well if he will going to
let her free.
Andres’ father
set some restrictions to his son so that for the future he will learn more
about life, that life was so very difficult. Whereas the taximan have given her
daughter a chance to explore the world, because he believe that for the future
she will going to use it.
The taximan’s
daughter did everything she wants; until such time that she couldn’t even see
her limitations. In contrast, Andres obeyed his father; he did everything so
that he will not be disappointed.
Another
difference, Andres’ father gave affection yet the test was tough while the
taximan have given direct asperity, yet his daughter has learned something.
Reflection
“The Road Not Taken”
“Sometimes the wrong choices will bring us to the
right place” – a very nice quote from a very inspirational author. In some
cases it would be true but not at all times. We always keep on putting into our
minds that when see things right it seems like it will direct us to a better
future.
We have reached some points in our life that we need
to choose from any of the choices. It would be so difficult for us to make some
further decisions; it’s because of some factors. We feel so bad because we
think our decisions might not be so good enough at the end. That’s how rational
a certain person is.
In the poem the “The Road Not Taken,” many people
would see it as a good example of an inspirational piece that all of us can
relate. The only thing I want to say about this poem is that, it was just like
I’m the person who is talking in the poem.
I have been through to different kinds of challenges
in my life that I couldn’t even realize how much I would able to pass through
those narrow yet so wide streets all throughout my journey. We want to be like
someone else for the future, we want to succeed in life, setting ambitions,
putting things together so that we may not regret when time comes. That’s how
we see ourselves.
We can do two things at the same but we cannot
simultaneously pass through two roads at the same time. Hypothetically, we
cannot go through two priorities at the same time, you need to choose based on
your strength.
Sometimes we feel that both of those priorities were
actually similar. We tend to think that if we could even do it together, but it
might be so impossible. There comes a
time that you really need to choose, and you have chosen the one where there’s
no other person who have ever tried it because we want to be extraordinary.
During the journey, we tend to regret from our
decisions, we feel so weak and broken and thought of choosing the other track.
But until such time, we get used to it, that we love what we do from the chosen
priority. God has a plan for us, because he was there when we have chosen it.
