The student by Anton Chekhov (1894)

Rating 7.5/10


The 8th journey: the ordeal-> the talking with Vasilisa, the actually it is not seen as a kind of general ordeal, due to this conversation, Ivan Velikopolsky can have enlightening

 

This story is a kind of special bildungsroman. There are no fighting between superhero with villain or Huge disaster that can destroy the earth. There are just the conversation between the student and the two widows, mother and daughter, the changing of the skeptical student, and the great literature technique of the writer, Anton Chekhov.

In the story, Ivan had skeptical view about Russian’s lives and human beings ultimately. After telling Saint Peter’s story and seeing Vasilisa’s tear, however, he realized a mysterious, but clear connection of present and past. He is sure about the way that human beings should go, that might be suggested approximately 2000 years ago. I think that this connection expresses Anton’s literature technique, in our class, called Chehov’s gun. It can make me and other readers can approach the story’s main theme or what the writer want to write.

The sisters by Jamce joyce

 Rating- 7/10 This story is talking about a priest’s die through the boy’s perspective who was close to priest. James joyce used a lot of metaphor and hidden message. In fact, the priest had an undesirable sexual inclination. And this terrible inclination is caused by the high-pressure sexual culture in priest society. The story’s view, a small boy, made the writing more special, dreamy and mysteriously. The boy didn’t face the priest’s die directly. He experienced dead mediately. He heard the old priest’s last through the priest’s acquaintances. Additionally, Paralysis is one of the important keywords. The boy imagined ‘the paralysis’ to see the priest’s dead. It means the paralysis of the Ireland society. I think James joyce want to represent the love and attention about Ireland and its Irish.

Due to their foolish marry, they fall in love each other. At that time, what kind of love can we say true love? Fair, but not loved marry? Or Trust love that is prohibited in society? This story makes me think about what is the true emotion in the human relationship.

The lottery By Shirley Jackson

 The lottery is a kind of horror story. There are lucky gambles with life. And it is annually events of the town. When I read this story, I was afraid of "general tradition". Actually, In the society, there were a lot of horrible tradition including the discrimination or racism. For example, most of slaves and general people didn't have question about slavery. If one slave claimed the unfairness and injustice of slavery, it was neglected by general people except some historical movements. It seems like Mrs. Hutchinson in the story. She is not revolutionist, is just victim
