    III- Question and answers

    1) How did Daddy’s view on ping-pong change? What brought


    about this change?
    A) Daddy realized that ping-pong was not the most important thing
    in the world.The change came about after his team played the
    Moscow tournament and took second place. By then he had
    begun to miss his school a little, and the worst of his obsession
    had subsided.

    2) What did Daddy lose because of his obsession and what did he
    gain?
    A) Daddy’s obsession with ping pong led him to give up studying,
    doing his homework, getting good grades, and even dropping out
    of school for a while. It also made him dishonest and secretive
    with his parents and kept them in the dark about everything he
    was doing.
    However, Daddy’s obsession probably taught him some valuable
    lessons about winning and losing, exposed him to a new world, and left
    him with some lifelong memories. Perhaps it also taught him the value
    of a balanced life, as after a while he went back to school and
    graduated.

    3) How did the teacher help Daddy? Why did she not succeed at
    first?

    A) The teacher tried to help Daddy by talking to him and explaining


    that there was a limit to everything. She tried to convince him to
    pay attention to his schoolwork and failing grades. When Daddy
    ignored her, she tried to help by writing to his parents. However,
    her letters never reached his parents because Daddy tore them
    up. In the end, surprised that she did not hear back from his
    parents, Daddy’s teacher went to meet them at home and they
    finally found out what was going on.

    4) How did the doctor help Daddy?


    A) The professor helped Daddy by realizing that he was in sound
    mental health and understanding that he just needed to work off
    his obsession. He extracted a promise from Daddy that he would
    return to school in September, and convinced his parents to let
    him play ping pong till then. By doing this, Daddy was able to keep
    playing until he himself began to miss school and realize that ping
    pong was not the most important thing in the world.
