1/ He realized that there was a mistake when he had been called. It was the first time he saw the old man. It is mentioned in the Marine reply to the nurse in paragraph 13 2/ In my opinion, the real son would only felt regret as he could not be alongside with his father in the last moment. He would appreciate the Marine kind behaving. This is what I would feel. 3/ The surprising coincidences are: 2 Marines have same names, similar serial numbers joining in same camp. I have never met same coincidence because there is many people can get same first name as me but together with the last name, it is unique or rare or I have never found yet. 4/ Actually, I have never helped a stranger as the situation of the Marine. I have ever donated money, clothes and books to charity associates. There are some philanthropists, celebrities, business man are honored in the news for their humanity contribution but there is plenty of ordinary act of kindness happening in the street such as helping a blind man across the busy street, helping disabled people to get on/off the bus, helping people in traffic accident and so on.
1.when he met the old man and he found that the old man was not his father , but he still reach to him 2.I think his real son felt regret that he did not have time with his father in the last time of his father's life 3.there are 2 Marine and they have the same name and serial number this situation not always happen to me. 4.I had helped someone that lost his way to somewhere I guide him to the correct way. I had seen doctor to help homeless people in Thailand that make me feel happy to see that.
This is Fai Almulhem , 5A 1 - I think that the Marine realized after he saw the old man, because he said "I knew right off there'd been a mistake ..." , instead of saying that he knew before he came to the hospital. 2 - I think he felt thankful and grateful , because maybe he was so busy, or he had some problems , and someone else helped him by being with his father , and not letting his father alone in his last hours. And that what I would feel , if I'm on his situation ( I hope not ). 3 - the incidents are : the old man collapsed while crossing the street , They called his son to come and stay with his father in his last hours, when the old man died , they realized that the son wasn't his real son . For me , my grandfather was in the hospital and he was dying . One day my mother visited him and he told her to not let my little brothers play on his bed in his house . He wasn't in his consciousness, but when my mother went to my grandparent's house , she saw my little brothers playing on my grandfather's bed. Somehow it might be a surprising coincidence for my family. 4 - I haven't gone out of my way to help a stranger yet , it's little thing like helping elderly people , and that's nothing comparing to this story. I didn't heard someone do that as well , but I think that they might do it and don't tell others, because if you do something and talk about yourself , it seams like you're showing off.
1 The marine realized it was a mistake when he first saw The old man. Pharagraph 4 says The young man was tired and anxious Which means he wanted to see his father. 2. I Think he felt thankful and if i was on his situation i would feel The same way. His father had somebody holding his hand until The end. 3. The surprising coincidence was that there were two marines with The same name and similar serial Numbers in The camp. Something like This Have never hapened to me.
4. One day i was driving to take a test at my university and there was This old Woman with Her car broken. I had like 10 minutes to Get to The test but i stoped and help Her fix The car. I missed The test but it felt very good helping Her.
1. He knew that there was a mistake when he saw the old man in the first time. in part 13 2.I think that the real son felt happy and sad in the same time ,If I were him I will feel guilty because I could not be there . 3.I shocked because of this mistake about names and the serial number , I have never had the same situation. 4. yes , Some day my brother survives a child who was drowning in swimming pool .
1/When he first met the old man, he realized that it was a mistake. Paragraph 8 supports that answer, when he interrupts the nurse by asking the question who was that. 2/At first, If I were the old man's real son, I would be really upset about the calling's mistake. However, knowing that there was someone right next to my dad in his final moment somehow eases the pain. Still, there would be an emptiness in my heart, keep asking the what if question.And for the other Marine, he is a real gentleman. Although it's not his responsibility to be there, to spend the whole night sitting there to comfort my dad, he did it willingly and heartfully.He would have my appreciate and a drink. 3/ There had been two Marines with the same name and similiar serial numbers in the camp which is the coincidences. There was a time that I was informed that my dad had had a terrible motorbike accident, I was so shocked and right away called my mom to address the situation. However, my mom told me that what the hell I was taking about, my dad was sitting next to my mom watching TV! Later, I found out that the old motorbike which my father had sold for the poor guy- who had the accident, still had my father name on its papers! That was the reason they contacted me. 4/ It's a shame that I have never had a chance to help someone in need. However, seeing a lots of campaign in raising funds for unaffordable sickness case or the hospitals offer free surgery for cancers really touching me.
1-when he came to the hospital and saw the old man, he had knewn that it was a mistake. I think it was when he first saw the old man. For the last sentence in paragraph 8 and the first sentence in paragraph 13. 2-He is very appreciated to the wrong Marine being with his dying father for the last hours and maybe he feel very sad about can't took care of and saw his father for the last moment. I feel very sad about the real son because it was a pity for him that can't being with his father for the last moments.Then I feel the wrong son is really a nice guy. His action really touched my heart and if I have the opportunity I will do the same thing to take care of other people. 3-There are two Marines with the same name and similar serial numbers in the camp and someone in the personal office had pulled out the wrong record. It's a pity that there hasn't a coincidence taken place in my life. 4-Yes, I have seen my mom do something like this. When my mom went to a restaurant to have dinner, there had an old woman sit outside the restaurant and she was too old to recognized who is her daughter.She think my mom is her daughter and ask my mom to stay with her for waiting her husband. My mom knew she isn't her daughter but for the old woman's safty she stay outside the restaurant and waited for her husband until her husband found her.
1.In my mind, I think that Marine knew it is a mistake at the beginning. That is the first time they saw each other. According to paragraph 11, we knew that Marine have never saw that old guy before in his life. 2.I guess the dead man's real son would be regret and annoyed because the other guy have pretended to be him. But for me, even though the real son were "copied" by someone else, that guy still kindness because he have led to your father felt good before he went to heaven. 3.Those coincidences are they two have the same name, they all called "Marine", and the similar serial Numbers in The camp. In fact, "Tong" is a really normal name. I just remembered one thing that very interesting, the first time I entered the LCC for check in, when that is my turn, I was smiled and said, "Good morning, my name is Tong" and then he said, "Come on! you are done, please go to the other line!" I felt so strange at that moment, I only entered about 3 minutes! Therefore, I tried to explained with him and then I knew that there is a boy he is also called " Tong "!He just done about a few minutes before I was enter. That is really interesting! 4.When I first time came to Houston, after I got off the flight, I felt really scared because everything are unfamiliar. I tried to found my aunt but I could not find her. For that reason, I said "excuse me "to the person who beside me and wanted to borrowed a phone. That lady are very friendly and kindness, she was smiled and borrowed me a phone immediately. After I have connected with my aunt , she just talked with me enthusiastic. Thanks for that pretty lady:)
1/ The Marine realized that calling him to the hospital was a mistake when he arrived to hospital. That was the first time he saw the old man. Part 9 and 11 of the reading support this conclusion. 2/ I think the dead man's real son felt thankful about the other Marine being with his dying father. Furthermore, from my point of view, he might feel guilty about not being able to be there to see his father at last time. 3/ The incident in the reading took place because of some surprising coincidences like two Marines with the same name and similar serial numbers in the camp. In my life, there was a surprising coincidence taken place about me and my older sister. People couldn't recognize who's older child, who's younger child. They used to call me by my sister's name. It really bothered me since from that confusion, they started to compare between us. Of course, I couldn't be as good as her. What's worse, my parents did the same thing and it also happened in the school. Somehow, that would be a nightmare for me during the childhood. 4/ Yes, I had gone out of my way to help a stranger. That's a poor old woman. She had a rush for bringing the meal to hospital for her daughter so that she hit so hard on my motorbike and got injured. Therefore, I brought her to the hospital same as her daughter's one.

DeleteThat's some story about your father and the motorbike. What a scare!

ReplyDelete2-He is very appreciated to the wrong Marine being with his dying father for the last hours and maybe he feel very sad about can't took care of and saw his father for the last moment.

My mom knew she isn't her daughter but for the old woman's safty she stay outside the restaurant and waited for her husband until her husband found her.
4. so that's very similar in a way to our story.
Delete1.In my mind, I think that Marine knew it is a mistake at the beginning. That is the first time they saw each other. According to paragraph 11, we knew that Marine have never saw that old guy before in his life.

4. You borrowed the phone from her. She lent it to you.
DeleteRemind me to tell a similar story to what you wrote in #3.
1:: when they call to that guy about his father is criticaly injured that was a mistake bbecause technicaly he wasn't his son.
ReplyDelete2:: The old guy should be grateful to that young guy because on his serious time he played a roll of his son.
3:: The indicates are there were two marine with same name and same number.
4:: in India I have a lot of poor kids for their education.
4. Do you mean you help a lot of poor kids?
