Garp Memorial Service Case Study

I believe that Garp's decision on attending his mother's memorial service was right and wrong. It was the right choice because it was his mother and he should be able to honor and remember his mother in her best moments. It was the wrong choice because Garp knew what he was getting himself into by attending. The group of women who attended the memorial service were man hating women, so when Garp's identity was revealed all of hell broke loose. I do not agree with the compromise he had to make in order to attend his mother's memorial service because Jenny is Garp's mother, even though she wasn't fond of men she still cared for Garp greatly. Garp should not have to disquise himself so that he could honor his mother. When Garp attended the funeral,
he realized how his mother impacted all these women who also attended but he also came to realize that these women took Jenny, his mother for a completly different image than Jenny wanted. After the aftermath of the funeral had died down only a little bit, Garp had to pretty much go into hiding from the women who chased him out of his mother's memorial service.
