That is actually very hard I love them both dearly and they both have people that depend on them. I think I'd end up gong with my mother as she is the weaker of the two. My dad probably could save himself.. hes a strong and intelligent man who never says die, my mother on the other hand is more dependent, has less drive and confidence.
I would save my Father as my Mother has already passed. I think most men would save the women first and then expect the man to be strong enough to save himself. I think it would be a natural instinct to reach for the women.
I think the that most of the guys would save fathers while girls mothers because it is naturally that guys love more father and girls mother. I would save father!
I would save my mother. Knowing how much I miss her now, I would give or do anything to have her back. Not that I don't love my dad, but I can't imagine how life is going to go on without her here.
So many things play into that__the danger of the situation for the person doing the saving.
My mother. Hands down. But then, this is probably a really unfair question for me, as I haven't spoken to my father in years.
With good reason, too; he's an absolute ass who cheated on my mother, had a really drawn-out legal battle, refused to pay alimony or child support for a long time afterward and has basically antagonized everyone he knows. My mother, on the other hand, isn't perfect, but she's a good person and I love her with all my heart. Sounds harsh when I re-read it, but it's the truth.
I wouldn't even think twice.
Well, both of my parents have passed, but if they were alive, I would choose my father. My mother was a very mean person, and very dependent and demanding. My father was gentle and self-sufficient.
I always wonder if he would have been a different person if he had married someone else.
So, when I once told my mother that my son had diarrhea -- and she said I should call 911 and get him to the emergency room -- I took a wait-and-see attitude. Even if he did have cancer, it wasn't going to kill him in the next 24 hours. And I might save a few bucks.
What we perpetual worriers have to remember -- whether we're obsessing about the danger of our child riding the city bus or the world coming to an end in 2012 -- is that, yes, bad things can happen. But there is a yawning chasm between what could happen and what will likely happen. A giant meteor could strike the Earth and wipe us all out this afternoon.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
