World Literature In My Eyes

In World Literature, I see this class as being very difficult and I'm not to fond of it because its different than what I had expected it to be. Its not that its too hard, but its not too easy either. It just shows that with the way I do in this class that its a good thing that I took it, to maybe try and help improve my reading skills for college in the fall. In this class, we have read many different forms of literature from around the world except the United States. Some of the stories that we read are difficult and hard to comprehend but that's why we always go into brief discussions about what we read that day in class. This class helps me wake up and realize that in order to pass and do good, I need to pay attention and be on top of things. So though I may hate this class so much sometimes I want to drop it, on the other hand I still think its good for me to take it to help me understand.

The Girl

This next chapter is about him going out for a swim at the public beach down by the Harbor after being at home for days. While he is out swimming, he comes across a girl that he used to like because they used to work together. They swim together for a while and then the same evening, they decided to go see a movie together. She then went back to his place, and when he awoke, she was gone. He ends up feeling kind of sad for himself and so he thinks about Maman and then realizes that really nothing has changed from before. It just shows how short life really can be and that you have to live each day like it really is your last, appreciate it like there's no tomorrow.
