Why did the Father become mean?

Here are some Theories
1. He started losing his mind after drinking alcohol.
2. His job was to hard so he went kind of insane.
3. He started becoming mean as he got older because he started feeling like his family is nothing.

Q2. Why did Amma love Appa?

1. She thought he was a nice person

2. He was actually being nice at first

3. She thought she would be happy with Appa because he was nice before]]> 2023-10-17 03:24:24 UTC https://padlet.com/msgilpinc/2si1l5c4n1myi9i7/wish/2749990510 https://padlet.com/msgilpinc/2si1l5c4n1myi9i7/wish/2749990545 I think Viji and Ruku will find a house that let them stay and work to live. ]]> 2023-10-17 03:24:26 UTC https://padlet.com/msgilpinc/2si1l5c4n1myi9i7/wish/2749990545 https://padlet.com/msgilpinc/2si1l5c4n1myi9i7/wish/2749990836 In the book Bukku or Viji say Owwa but I don’t know that mean and that word is not in glossory]]> 2023-10-17 03:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/msgilpinc/2si1l5c4n1myi9i7/wish/2749990836 https://padlet.com/msgilpinc/2si1l5c4n1myi9i7/wish/2750397709 Why does your sister(Bukku) get damaged mentally?]]> 2023-10-17 08:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/msgilpinc/2si1l5c4n1myi9i7/wish/2750397709 https://padlet.com/msgilpinc/2si1l5c4n1myi9i7/wish/2750583248 I know that the main character who called Viji and Ruku's father is a person who is terrible.
