Mother: Why? What do you have to gain by this? Casey:? I’m good. Mother: So, what are you saying??You wanna just?blow off?our whole plan for you, chuck?the scholarship and become a professional athlete? Case, what is the shelf life on an ice-skater? Eight years? And then a few years touring with Has-Beens on Ice. And that’s it? That’s the end of your life? Casey: I love it, Mom. Mother: Case, there’s no?shelf life?on your mind. If I’d learned how to use mine a little sooner, if I’d gone to college when I was your age, maybe we wouldn’t be living like this. Casey: There’s nothing wrong with the way we live. Mother: I’ve not been able to give you a quarter of the things that I wanted to. Casey: You’ve given me everything. Mother: Then you need to give me something now. Questions: 1. Why does the mother not want her daughter to be a professional athlete? Answer: Because the shelf life of a professional athlete is short. 2. Why does Casey insist on becoming an ice-skater? Answer: Because she loves it. II. Cultural Background 1.
