I am now reviewing the story "The Taximan's Story" from the book "Little Ironies".

The irony of this story is that the taxi driver depends on the young people to earn his living, but he is furious at his daughter for being one.

The story is quite realistic as parents nowdays want their children to be better than others. Some parents are even insensitive to what their child is feeling emotionally. They completely neglect their child's social life.

The taximan is overprotective of her daughter and want to keep her away from "bad influence" no matter what, so her daughter can do well. i do not feel sympathy for him as he is simply abusing his daughter. he is jsut thinking about her future and not her present.

I agree with his lamenting as although i do not completely support it. i agree with it as her daughter should not be doing these sort of thing and i disagree as the meaning of life is not to study. her study is good enough already but still her father still wants it to be better.

I feel sympathy for the taximan's daughter as she is being abused and mistreated by her father in wanting her to do well in her studies. she is restricted to what she can do, which is only go to school. other than that all she can do is stay at home.
