After watching this short film, put yourself in each character's shoes and answer the following:
1)You are Lilja (the daughter). What would you say to your father if you knew what he was planning?
2)You are Groa (the wife). If you could communicate from the dead, what would you say to your husband?
3)You are the Old Man. What did you say in your "suicide note"? Begin with Dear Lilja,
If I were Lilja, i would say to dad, “Dad, you know that grandpa won’t want to leave that easily right?”
ReplyDeleteIf I were Groa, i would say to the husband: “You don’t have to do this, my life may be gone but that doesn't mean you should take away your’s. Enjoy your life while you still can. We will be together again before you know it.”
Dear Lilja,
By the time you read this I will be gone. I am growing too old to run the farm, and I don’t want to go to the old folk’s home. So I have decided to bury myself, alive, with my wife. To tell you the truth, when I told you on the phone she was taking a nap, I meant she wa taking a dirt nap. I can’t live without her. So instead of leaving her and my farm behind, I have decided to leave my life behind and join her. I’m sorry I did this on such short notice, Goodbye.
Grandpa.
1. What you say to dad?
ReplyDeleteI would say that to have a funeral for Groa and move into the old people home where he can be taken care of and to gon see your grand daughter once in a will.
2. What Groa say to old man?
I would say to go to the old peoples home and live the rest of your life and see your grand daughter and to meet other people just like you.
3. Dear Lilig,
I'm writing this letter to you because I won’t be around for ever and my time is almost up. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about this early but I didn't know how to explain it to you but your mother is dead. I can’t really see myself in that old folks home and so I’m gone to take a dirt nap with your mother. I know i didn't really get to see you much your my granddaughter so by the time you are done reading this you will be really sad.

Dad you may think it is better to go with your lauftly loved wife but really you will just affect the entire family. along with making matters worse for the family. you may think that you are going to the same place as your be loved but really you don't know seeing how you dint go the way you were suppose to.
ReplyDeletehusband you may feel this is necessary, but really it is not. mother nature has taken the course, it is my time to go and i feel you should also let mother nature take its course. my time has expired and eventually yours will too, seeing how anything living can die. all i'm trying to say is its not your time, and you will know when it is your time.
Dear Lilija,
I'm afraid Its my time, to join my wife. you may think I will like the old folks home. but really i don't wanna go. I'm sorry I have left on such a short notice and I don't get to see you again but I have only a short time left. once again I'm sorry but Its my time to go.
-Grandpa
If I was Lilja I would say What are you doing Dad. Dad said I’m burying your mom. I said Why?
ReplyDeleteDad said Well because she died 2 days before. I say ok dad once u are done lets go to the Retirement home. Dad said no and i'm burying myself with her.
If I Groa I Would say I'm sorry i had to died. Old man said i made a box to put u in so you can have a nice funeral. I would say i think that you should move on and go to the retirement home. Old man would say that i'm not going there i'm going to bury myself with you so we can be together.
Dear Lija,
I am going to kill myself because I want to be with your mother. Also that I want to avoid the old folks home I want to be with your mom. I have a short time left in this world. Also that I will miss all of you while I'm dead.
Love Your Dad,
Hafin

ReplyDelete(Lilia) what would you say to dad. I will say that you should not do that you should go to the grove home so that we can see you whenever we want. I would've just stop the truck and taken him out.
(Grioa) if you wanted to join me so bad why did you not try and tell everyone else. you should not join me you should join your daughter and you grandchild.
Dear lilja,
I'm sorry to say this but your mother is dead so when you reach this later i'm also dead so this later is for you to know why I did this. First of i love your mother too much and I want to stay with her forever. I do want to live with you forever but I had made a promise to your mom that I will stay with her forever. I would prefer to stay with you guys and my grandchildren. This will be the last thing you will hear from me.
Sincerely Dad
Dear Lilja,
ReplyDeleteLiving without your mother is a life I don’t want to live. I do not want to leave my home that I have lived for my whole life. I want to be with your mother, I will be buried with your mother by the tractor where the cross is standing up.
Love,
Dad
Lilja: Father why would you do this? You have family that cares about you. Your granddaughters looks up to you. Please don’t!
