From this passage ,I know that we must respect our family members. Respecting others is one of the most important characteristics of us. Respect is something that needs to be shown to everyone.We raise our voices higher than we dare when we’re in public. We use derogatory names we wouldn’t think of calling someone else. Respect is something that is learned over time. It can’t be an instantaneous thing. So we must work hard to be respectful.If the man in the story can respect his  sister,maybe he would still alive.when manners are not required within the home, they are often forgotten outside as well. So we must respect our family member.

“Introduction of the Writer:

As a Scottish poet, Iain Crichton Smith spent most of his working life as a schoolteacher in Clydebank then Oban. He wrote prose and poetry in both Gaelic and English. He was a much-loved man and poet, and some of his poems in English and in Gaelic have become touchstones for Scottish literature.

The long poem Am Faigh a Ghaidhlig Eas? / Shall Gaelic Die? meditates on the fate of that language and culture. Often a deeply troubled man, and a self-deprecating writer, he could move an audience to tears of laughter with his Murdo stories. Consider the Lilies, about the Highland Clearances, is a classic novel, but he considered himself more naturally a poet. Crichton Smith wrote poems of lyrical candour and great human understanding, as well as poems that speculated on the course and meaning of human existence.
