one of the main character in the story "Kevin" written by Catherine Lim. I would like to share my personal response about the story.

Based on the short story “Kevin” written by Catherine Lim, I would like to talk about the main characters which are Kevin and his mother. From my point of view, Kevin is an obedient son and will do what his mother wants although he did not like it as long he did not get scolded by his mother. He needs to get 95 per cent and above in all his test or else he will be punished. He cannot express his feeling and desire really well because his mother doesn’t even want to listen to what he wants to say. In my opinion, he will not know how to make his decision by himself in the future. It is because his mother makes all the decision for him all the time. He also did not how to express his love as his mother did not really show her love towards Kevin. We can see that Kevin even feels happy when hearing about his mother’s illness. I think it is a bad attitude and although his mother is not being nice with him, at least he should concern about his mother. She is still his mother although she had been a little bit cruel towards Kevin.

Kevin’s mother is very strict and a perfectionist person. She also does not tolerant with Kevin’s mistakes and always compares his mark with others. However there is some part in Kevin’s mother that I like which is her concern about his son performance in his study. But I think his mother should tolerate with Kevin and give him chances to make own decision. Sometime we need to be assertive but not for all the time. In this case, if we being tolerate with others, they will show respects towards us instead of being afraid of us. I think the mother should change her attitude and be more tolerate with his son. Kevin’s mother should not compare his son with others because everyone has their own ability. Instead of comparing the marks, she should praise her son works. This will give Kevin a good motivation to do the best in the next test. He will do it just because he want it and not because afraid of his mother.

Lastly, what I want to say is everyone makes mistakes in their life. Kevin should not judge his mother as a bad person at all and should concern about his mother. We only have one mother for the whole life so please appreciate them.

I drew back what Kevin had drawn when he was bored..

note: every person in this world has their own perspective about something and we should appreciate the variety
