peanuts
The station that I really liked was Peanuts comic. There are two main characters talking on a phone. Peppermint Patty talked to Charlie Brown about her concern. Her concern was 'having a trouble' and she wanted a suggestion from Charlie. Then he said 'do your homework, don't sleep in class and never try to give a report on a book you haven't read.' These really are suggestion and that is what she asked to him. However, even though she said 'suggestion', she just wanted a consolation from him, such as 'oh, really? That's too bad...' kind of thing. Sometimes just asking and let them talk what they want is the best way to feel them good. Since he just said 'a suggestion' she said ' I hate you, Chuck' She probably feel worse than before. Why don't we match somebody's mood so they can feel better?
Hey Sally! I agree with what you said, some people will tell other people about their problems or complain about something so that the person can sympathize with them (also known as... ME), not actually give advice (even though in some cases, that kinda works). And if this happened to me, I would also most likely say "I hate you" to Charlie Brown but not really mean it.
ReplyDeleteHey Liz! Thanks for your reply!! If I have a problem like Peppermint Patty, then I'll talk to you('cause I believe that you can give any consolation for me.).
