In Gasman, the season is Christmas, and fathers and children are heading to get ready for the Christmas party. The kids look so depressed. They are dressed up, which they are not used to, and wear leather shoes. Christmas parties are not so common in Japan, so it was very new to me. They meet a family on the road along the railroad tracks where they are headed. The father speaks as if he has known them for a long time. The family consists of a mother and two children. The father gives the woman some money. I thought it would have been better if he had hidden it better or not given it to her when the children were around. I found out that the children are illegitimate children of the mother. I felt that there was a disparity in the way the illegitimate children were dressed, as the other children are dressed nicely, whereas the illegitimate children are dressed a little dirty. They end up going to a Christmas party, all the four children and their father. The kids have fun playing when they get to the Christmas party. The illegitimate child gets tired and sits on her father's lap. Seeing this, the daughter says to the illegitimate child, "That's my place." The illegitimate child says, "That's my daddy." The daughter does not know the illegitimate child and does not know what this child is saying, but they fight. The father is angry with his daughter and tells her to make up. The party is over and the five of them are going home along the railroad tracks again. I found this story very complicated. I felt the father was a pretty terrible person. He should make everyone happy and the way he was angry with his daughter at the party was very offensive.
