In Tiny Little Smiling Daddy, the father is clearly against Kitty’s choices and he does not respect her at all. When Kitty said she is a lesbian he refused her and did not want to see her again. He felt really ashamed of her own daughter. In fact that was not the only time he refused her but in any time in anything about Kitty which he does not like. He is a dominant person, behaves without any respect to anyone and wants to have the authority in the family. So Kitty moved away and really hated her father (she wrote something bad in a magazine) In the movie, Sum of us, Harry (the father) is always respectful to Jeff (the son) and he is so friendly to him. So Jeff is always being honest to Harry, never lies and talks about everything with him. Even if he does not like the situation (Jeff’s being a gay) and always hoped that he would just love a girl for once, he never felt ashamed and always talked to him so kindly. He even met his mates and let them in their house who were having sex with his son, drinking together and spending romantic times etc. The most different part between these stories are the fathers. Kitty’s father was ashamed of his daughter but Harry would never be. So the results were different too. Kitty moved away and her father was really in pain but Jeff did not think about going anywhere and stayed with his father even when he had a stroke all over his body and Jeff looked after him. Although Harry had a stroke, he was happier than Kitty’s father. As a result, the situation was like Kitty’s father was punished by the girl’s hate and her article in a magazine and Harry was rewarded because the son never left him even in his very bad days and looked after him without any being tired. So both of them argues that good fathers win, bad fathers lose.

Nice comparison of acceptance and love from fathers- is it possible to get rid of the code language at the beginning of the entry?
