I am contemplating on what to write my short story on, but let me forewarn you, I am not a writer, let alone know how to write short stories. I already know this will be a very difficult assignment for me so I guess we will see how it goes.
In addition, I have been sitting here wondering what to even do this post about. I have been thinking what topics and stories we have been reading or read last week. I just cannot come up with anything to say.
I did re-read, "This Blessed House." I did not really fully understand it the first time I read it, now, still don't. I came to realize a few more aspects of the story that I did not know before but I still believe that it is a bit strange. I see their marriage as being sad and a bit unhappy. Bitter and aggravated. Every day that passes them by, within these pages, I feel as though Sanj is frustrated with Twinkle and never is at a point of happiness or satisfaction. But I do see why he can get frustrated with her because she is always moving towards something, whether it is drastically different or something small, it is always changing. She is curious about everything and that bothers him.
I do not think that I could ever be involved in a arranged marriage. Like it said on page 1072, "He did not know if he loved her." That is so sad. There are some people who strongly think that love can grow on you and one day it will come. But that is just not me. I do not want my marriage to be like this one.
I do wonder though. What is this story about? Does anyone know? What is the point to it and or does it have a deep meaning that I am supposed to get. All I know is that I appreciate the readings for this class because I am desperate for gaining knowledge in this subject, and in the end help me in other areas as well.
Wow it’s like you jumped into my brain and pulled out everything I was thinking. I can relate big time with the short story and with This Blessed House, I didn’t really get the point of the story and was dissatisfied with the ending.
