Background Information (1)

• What is love?

7
Background Information (2)

• Love is a temporary madness.
• It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides.
• And when it subsides you have to make a decision.
  
• You have to work out whether your roots have
  become so entwined together that it is
  inconceivable that you should ever part.
• Because this is what love is.
• Love is not breathlessness,
• it is not excitement,
• it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal
  passion.
• That is just being "in love" which any of us can
  convince ourselves we are.

8
Background Information (3)

• First love is only a little foolishness and a lot
  of curiosity.
• Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the
  imagination and bottling the common-sense.
• Falling in love is awfully simple, but falling
  out of love is simply awful.
• Bitterness imprisons life love releases it.
• Bitterness paralyzes life love empowers it.
• Bitterness sours life love sweetens it.
• Bitterness sickens life love heals it.
• Bitterness blinds life love anoints its eyes.

Background Information (4)

• Ebbets Field Brooklyn Dodgers 1913-57.
• Cramped but colorful Ebbets Field, in the
  Flatbush section of Brooklyn, was home to the
  Dodgers in their lean times and glory years,
  until the franchise was transplanted to Los
  Angeles. Built by Dodger owner Charlie Ebbets for
  the 1913 season, the widely anticipated park
  opened without a press box, and no one brought
  the key to the bleachers for the first game.

10
Background Information (5)

• Originally the double-decked grandstand stood
  only along the foul lines, leaving the left field
  corner 419' distant, and center 477'.
• The grandstand was extended to left and center in
  the 1930s, however, making the park a hitter's
  paradise. The left-field power alley was 351' and
  center became a very comfortable 388', made even
  shorter by the upper deck, which hung over the
  playing field. The right field wall was a sight
  in itself.

11
Background Information (6)

• A patchwork collection of local advertisements, a
  scoreboard, and a large black screen that was in
  play, it was 38' high and abutted Bedford Avenue.
  The screen made up the top 19', sending balls
  rebounding at unpredictable angles, while the
  wall itself was concave, angled in the middle.
  The large black scoreboard featured the famous
  Abe Stark "Hit sign, win suit" advertisement on
  the bottom, and a Schaefer beer ad on top which
  gave the official scorer's ruling on hits and
  errors by lighting up the appropriate letter (h
  or e).

12
Background Information (7)

• Renowned for its laughable Dodgers in the 1920s
  and 1930s, Ebbets Field was also known for its
  vocal and boisterous fans. Hilda Chester would
  attend each game with her clanging cowbell, while
  the Dodgers Sym-Phony, a collection of musically
  inclined fans, played other instruments. In the
  1940s, the Reds' Lonny Frey hit an
  inside-the-park home run when his drive to right
  hit the screen and fell straight down, coming to
  rest on top of the lower half of the wall, 19'
  above the field.

13
Background Information (8)

• And on October 3, 1947 Cookie Lavagetto broke up
  Bill Bevens's World Series no-hit bid with two
  out in the ninth.
• By 1957, however, Ebbets Field had grown too old
  to satisfy Dodger owner Walter O'Malley, and in
  1958 Brooklyn's beloved Dodgers were in Los
  Angeles. Only 6,673 fans attended the final game,
  and the park was demolished in 1960. The Jackie
  Robinson apartment complex now stands on the
  site. (SCL)

Text Analysis (1)

• Summary of the Text
• This essay tells about a story of a father and a
  son. The son was reluctant to be seen walking
  with his crippled father , for he was ashamed of
  the unwanted attention from other people. The
  father, however, didn't care much about how
  others behaved towards them. Nor did he complain
  about his life. Instead, he kept on working and
  tried to participate in as many activities as he
  could. Not until the son grew up and lost his
  father forever, did he realize how positive and
  courageous his father was and how sorry he felt
  toward his father and how

32
Text Analysis (2)

• unworthy he used to be. Finally, he came to know
  about the fact that it was his father who set the
  pace in his life and taught him the importance of
  having a good heart.

33
Text Analysis (3)

• The author presents the story with a general
  point and then continues to support his general
  point with examples. This is one of the commonest
  way of presenting ones ideas or points of view.

34
Text Analysis (4)

• In paragraph 11, the author tells us that
  although the father was crippled, he still
  managed to participate in some activities through
  his son. Then the author went on to support this
  general point with three examples. The first
  example is when the son played ball, the father
  played too. The second example is that the son
  joined the navy and the father joined too,
  though the author did not tell us how that his
  father joined the navy. The third example is
  that when the son went home

35
Text Analysis (5)

• on leave from the navy, the father would make him
  visit his office. And in this way the father was
  telling others that he could do the same as his
  son.

36
Text Analysis (6)

• Paras. 1-5The son was embarrassed to be seen
  walking with his crippled father, but the father
  subjected himself to the shame and stress without
  bitterness and complaint.
• Paras. 6-7 The son now realizes that his father
  treated others with a good heart.
• Paras. 8-11 The fathers attempt to experience
  things directly and indirectly.

  relies much more on his father for his balance of
  mind.
