Essay 1-03a: From divorce to reconciliation

This is the story of one dad. His name is Daniel. His wife is Miranda, and they have three children. He was a voice artist but he was fired. He always plays with children, so Miranda got mad. They divorced, but they reconciled in the end. Then I will talk about Daniel's divorce and reconciliation. I separate three points.

First turning point is the birthday party of Chris. Because Daniel brought animals into the house and horsed around with children, Miranda decided to divorce Daniel. From the outset she wanted to divorce him because he didn't feel inclined to work. The party was a decisive occurrence. I thought this action of Daniel was an expression of his affection. He only tried to please children. But Miranda felt annoyed. Certainly I thought it was reasonable for her to get mad because she works but he doesn't work.

Second turning point is the scene that Daniel works as a housekeeper. As he became it, he was able to be near his family. He loves family, so he wanted to be with them, as expected. In addition, because Daniel could approach to Miranda as a woman, I thought that was good. However if his disguise is revealed to Miranda, she would even get mad. I thought that was thrilling. And I thought how long he continued his disguise.

Third turning point is the scene of birthday party of Miranda and arrangements of Daniel. He had to attend them as Daniel and Doubtfire. She might remarry her new boyfriend, so he had to disturb that. And the arrangements were very important. He got a new job, and he had to present to the president. Both of them were very important. He was not able to be absent. He attended both while changing his appearance. But he got drunk, and his true character was revealed. Miranda was discouraged, but she knew he loved children very much.

Lastly Daniel could make up with Miranda. He couldn't live away from family. So he disguised to be near them. Even if he deceived them, he loved them. But they didn't remarry each other.

In conclusion, if Daniel and Miranda hadn't divorce, the relationship between two wouldn't have been improved. I think Daniel is not good as a husband. That's because he doesn't work. But he is good as a father. He loves children. I think Miranda doesn't need to marry him in order that he must think of himself.
