The story Generations is about a beautiful young girl who desperately tried to save his dad from being put in jail but was never really appreciated by the dad. This is a sad story for me because the girl gave up literally everything for her dad but her sacrifice seems not valued or thanked for. After all that she had done.
After being brutally pushed by her dad after a fight with her mom, her mom even asked her to follow him and make sure that he’ll be ok. Her mom asked her younger son to accompany her sister to follow their dad around. They tried to stop him but the dad was very loud and disturbed the place that made the soldiers who are in the area to arrest him. He was even defending himself and even said that every individual has a freedom to get drunk anytime they would want.
Unfortunately, this was the time where freedom was not really available. The story was during the Marcos’ regime. So it was the martial law so they have a curfew.
At the barracks, the soldiers let her pay for her father. They let her give her own payment in exchange for her father’s freedom and for a comfortable room to stay in while she was still paying the soldiers.
Walking home, she realized that her dad still did not show any appreciation for the things that she had done. There was no sign though the dad knew what she had to do in replace for his freedom. So the girl got so angry and just hit her father’s head. Soon, she found her clothes drenched in her father’s blood. Her brother knew what happened though he did not say it directly. He just helped her sister clean up before they reached home.
I think that the girl has the strength and the courage of a man. She can do whatever it is that she desires. She may not know it at first but in the end, after her realization, she proved herself that she really is a strong individual.
She even had the guts to give up her virginity for his father though the father did not appreciate it, it’s as if nothing really happened.

YeahYeah.......I agree with those things but what I very disagree whit Rosca coming up with a character(main character) that killed her own father. For me it somehow opposes the good Filipino traits that former writers have depicted in thier stories like the importance of the family and being happy amidst immense oppression...but this girl she smacked and murdered her father till his head almost got off. Its somehow horrible but Ninotchka showed the gruesome side of the existing oppression in our country
