Choose two stories that reveal the thinking of older generation of Singaporeans.What new insights have u gained from such a revelation ?

The two stories that i will talk about is Tanjong Rhu and The Move.

First,let talk about Tanjong Rhu,Mr Lee's mother who is known as Ah Ma is representing the older generation of Singaporean.She always likes to chat about her past.All things that happen on that time.Not like Mr Li who always talk about things that is present nowadays.Ah Ma also quite a thrifty person.She does not like her son spend money to buy things just for her for example the binoculars for her eyes.She recollects times when her husband was still alive and Mr Li was just a kid playing by the sea.Through this,we have gain a new insight about the past and those who living aroung her.

Second,we will talk about The Move .In The Move,the person that present the older generation of Singaporeans is Madam Teo,the mother of Jimmy and Tommy.This story mainly talks about Madam Teo moving to her son new house.But that is when the problems starts.Madam Teo wants to bring all her old and sentimental items along with her.One reason is that all her things have stay with her for very long time and she have feelings with it.But the problem is that,her children all disagree of her doings because they find all her things is old and run-down and they can just buy a new ones to replace them.For example,the pomegrante tree.Now,it has grown so big,her children all do not want to have it anymore.This shows that young peoples do not treasure things that they have in the past,all they want is to get a new ones to replace them. Whereas most people of the older generation treasures everything they have, mostly because they experience more hardship than the younger generation and they find all their things is very important to them.
