My reaction for the story"love is a fallacy"
My reaction?!
As I was reading the story entitled "love is a fallacy" by Max Schulman,
I was a little bit confused in the first page,I did not understand the story very much like what others did,I thought it was a boring story.
But, as I went on reading through the next pages,I got a little more and more excited.
I was thrilled to know the answer when the author or the narrator asked Petey Bellows to give her Polly to him.
Will Petey give his girl?
was the first question that raised through my mind.
I was surprised to know how Polly thinks!I did not expect that she was that...you know....
Will Polly Espy learn from what the author was telling her?
this was the question that came through my mind after reading the part where the narrator was like tutoring Polly about fallacies. Fallacies?!..why fallacies, of all the matters which needs to be discussed,why this one?
I then know that he was teaching Polly about the different fallacies because:
-he was a law student
-he was teaching Polly how to think logically.
I had a hard time understanding the story because of the words that were not familiar to me.I still have to search it in the dictionary to fully understand the meaning that it wants to give.To tell you the truth,
I was not even familiar about raccoon coats.Funnily, I researched it's picture in the Internet and found it.Since I did not have a copy of the story(i was not able to print it because it was very long...about eight or nine pages),I just borrowed from my classmates.I had to read it many times just to get the full point of the author.
For me,love is a real fallacy.You are willing to sacrifice all for a person who would still not choose you.It just like,you were made a toy.If he or she gets bored of you, nothing, he or she will just be thrown.
But sometimes,you can also say that love is not a fallacy.
Meant-to-be lovers would agree about this.Love can't be transferred to any one else.True, you may love another person, but you should love them in different degrees.For example, you should only love some person as friends and love a particular person as a part of your life.
In the story,it was pointed out that Polly still wanted Petey in spite of what Gee had done for her.For her to learn!
It was like as if Polly did not value Gee even a little.Although Gee,taught her how to think, it still appears that she did not learn from him, but what can we do? We can't command her heart.It's up to her to choose,whether she choose the one who loves her...or the one she loves.It's in you to choose.Anyway,it's your own life ehehe!!!
Well, the story was getting more and more excited as I read through the next pages.
I was excited and was thrilled and my mind was full of questions.
After all, I can say, It's a nice story....
