The weather is an unusual story that is told from the point of view of two characters. This is the story of a single loving father Steve and his daughter Edith. One day on her way back home, Edith saw a girl two years older than her, named Rae, She invited Rae to come to her house for a snack knowing the fact that her father wouldn't mind. When Steve first saw Rae he didn't really like her, but gradually things go better. Rae was an outgoing girl who would often sneak in Edith's house to part even though Edith was sleeping. Steve knew all this but didn't do anything about it. One early morning Steve and Rae were having coffee and talking about the bad weather that changed everything. It was a tornado in the country side which messed up most of the parts in the house. Steve's wife Mary always hated the country and the weather. One day when Mary couldn't take it she decided to leave Steve and moved away. Steve and Rae shared a lot of personal things about Steve's past life. Things got very uncomfortable because Rae started coming to Edith's house when she was sleeping. Rae would sneak into Steve's room and in his bed. They shared some special moments but didn't go all the way. One night Rae all of a sudden just put her clothes back on and went home. Steve was having his cofee in the morning and didn't know how he would tell his daughter Edith about his closeness with her friend Rae.
If you were the father how would you approch this matter? If you were the daughter what would your reaction and action be?

The daughter I assume feels uncomfortabnle about this, as any daughter would/should? And why does Rae suddenly leave Steve without and indications?
ReplyDeleteuncomfortable*
ReplyDeletedo you think that Mary just left him because of bad weather or because of something else too (someone like Rae)?
ReplyDeletewhat kind of relationship to you think those two had?
ReplyDeleteJanine- ur right any daughter would feel uncomfortable and Rae did leave because as i mentioned earlier she did share moments with Steve but didn't want to go all the way so she left
ReplyDeleteMary left Steve because of the weather and the fact he didn't want to move. SHe just got tired and left.
ReplyDeletei feel they did have an intimate type of a relationship that shouldn't be there between a teen and a father
ReplyDeleteI strongly believe that the father should know better than involving himself with a teenager and especially the fact that Rae was his daughter's friend. Good job Rita!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I were the daughter, I would of been very angry and uncomfortable. The father should of known better than getting involved with someone so young.
ReplyDeleteif i was the father, i would be more responsible and not have close, personal, illegal, relationships with my daugter's friend.
ReplyDeleteIf i was the daughter, i would be in complete shock. My father being so close with my friend behind my back. This is not right under any circumstances. I wouldn't be able to ever trust my father after.
I totally agree with you Ally and Navi showing more responsibility and maturity would have been a better thing:)
