WEEK 2- GANDHI, FATHER OF INDIA

GANDHI MY FATHER

Harilal is the eldest son of Gandhi where he died because of his own mistake which is being an alcoholic. He never success in everything that he did. He put the blame on his father because his father does not giving him the opportunity to be a barrister in England. Gandhi doing so because his son has failed three times in matriculation and he give that opportunity to other people who he think that people can do it. But Harilal blame his father because being bias and does not trust him. 

However, even though he does not give the chance to Harilal, he is always giving support for everything that Harilal did. For example in that movie, when Harilal wants to convert to Islam, he just accepts it as long as it is good for him, and he can be a better person. He never stopped him from doing something that he wants. He want Harilal learn from mistakes and be a successful person. So, Harilal is the one who is responsible for the tragic end of his life. 

GANDHI

Gandhi is a father of India. He fights for the civil right of Muslim and Hindu. After watching the movie, I found that Gandhi has failed in his life work which is to promote non-violence and reuniting the people of India.

He told his people that they will not get anything with violence. He wants to promote non-violence to his people, but the people using the violence in order to get independence from British. If they do not using the violence, they will not get the independence. This means he has failed to persuade his people not to use violence in their life. 

To unite the people, it is not an easy thing to do. For reuniting the people of India, he made strong effort in other to unite the people. He tried his best and put all effort in order to unite the people. He was imprisoned too many times, but his spirit never lost. For me, he is a great man.
