Part 1: What We Learned:
第九章 出人意料的走向
第一个没想到:如胶似漆的两个人在即将面对分别之际,因为Savannah送给John的这本书爆发了第一次争吵,John突如其来的情绪与爆发,他对Savannah对他父亲善意的表达的逃避与反击都让人感到措手不及;
第二个没想到:从第一次开始,我们都习惯了John的父亲异乎寻常的沉默与寡言,虽然也曾经因此感到过困惑,但从未料想到他可能是因为有Asperger……这让我想起了多年前人们对抑郁症的关注,大家突然意识到原来这个心理疾病离我们这样近,也警醒我们要多关心身边的人……Asperger让John的父亲之前的言行和反应上的一切合理都合理了起来,作者把这个伏笔埋藏了这么久,真是能沉得住气。
Part 2: Q&A
1. How did John’s father feel about his willing to Share? How do you get to know that?
His father didn’t comment on it, but he was happy for him and even more pleased that he’d been willing to share, because his father prepared a lot of food for John before he got home later that night.
2. What gift did Savannah give to John? Why did she choose that?
She gave him a book about autism and Asperger’s, because she thought his father might have Asperger’s.
3. How did John react when he got to know the reason why Savannah sent him this gift?
He didn't take it well, and got angry.
4. What happened to John, Randy and Tim later that day?
John and Randy fought together, Tim wanted to stop the fight, but he was hurt by John.
