I. MATERIAL LIFE

II.
  CHARACTERS
    Fernan ( father), Elisa ( mother), Micah ( child)

          Fernan and Elisa are both working, still they give some of their time to Micah, their daughter to have bonding moment with her, even once a week. They are very happy with each other. Fernan and Elisa loves Micah so much and they will do anything and everything that they think is good for Micah. Everything that Micah wants, Micah gets. They bought expensive things for Micah just to make Micah happy. They spoiled Micah so much.

 III. 
     Weak Points
          They spoiled Micah too much that's why it will be hard for her to learn how to be thrifty.  It also made Micah became very demanding in everything because whatever she wants, she can easily get  by her parents.

     Positive Points
          Time is one of the most important thing that we can give to someone to show how important is he/she for us. Like in the story, they don't forget to give Micah some time even though they were busy in their work. Bonding moments are important in the family because it helps the family members to become closer to each other.

IV. How can I relate myself in the story?
          The story is reverse to the situation i have in my family. I'm not the spoiled one like Micah because, my parents don't give me all the things I've wanted but only those which I needed. I know how to be thrifty, so that I can buy the things that i want. I don't need to demand in my parents' time for me because I'm their eldest daughter and i know the situation we have.  But there is one thing that Micah and I have in common. This is the time that we get from our parents. We used to have some of our time to have a bonding in the family and this made us closer to each other.

V. Realization
          I realized that it doesn't matter how many material things that parent can give to their children, but the most important thing is their presence, the family bonding, and the time that they will give to their children to show their love. Because their love can make the children feel contented and complete in their family.
