The assignment was to show a bran before and after. Luann isn’t the brand. It’s Batubs. The before is the approach they tried on Luann. Luann is the after approach.
Bernice could also say that Luann just needs to talk to Piro and see what he has to say. And she might give that same advice to him. He needs to tell Luann and Tara they are bothering him, instead of telling Bernice not to say anything to either of them.
One thing Bernice could do is tell Luann that she should ask Piro if there’s anything she can do to help him and that she should listen to what he has to say. That doesn’t cross any lines she shouldn’t.
I think Tara and Luann want to help him, not fix him, but don’t know how and are doing what they do know. It would help all if he told them they weren’t helping but bothering. If they all sat down and talked they might be able to figure out a way to give him the help he needs.
Luann and Tara aren’t trying to “fix” Piro. Luann wants to make him laugh because he finds he funny and as a result she’s showing that she has some talent for being funny. Tara’s trying to protect him, in part from Luann, maybe from what she knows about his past.
Bernice’s problem to now has been that she’s been looking at the people around her as people to “fix” or as possible patients and not seeing them as people or friends or experiments.
Community college is still pretty cheap. If he’s only taking one or two classes he can also hold down a job to afford them, which a lot of people in CC do.
Do you also disagree with her support of GI rights back then? And as for the story of her allegedly turning on prisoners of war there is no evidence that happened. As a matter of the prisoners she supposedly turned in said that didn’t happen and that she did deliver the messages to their families they passed to her.
But what does any of that or most of the rest of the discussion have to do with Luann and her father not getting the hint?
