marie winn- the plug in drug

evio — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 20:22:17 +0000

the article is about how the detrimental effects of television addiction can be commanding on family relations. Even Marie Winn is justifiable with her supporting ideas, im not totally agree with her. When i was reading the article, i thougt that she was exaggerated a little bit. If family members have strong characters, these effects become inconsiderable. If a mother turns the tv’s volume up, it is her fault. Nobody can put the blame on television in this case. People are in habit of giving excuses for their deficiencies. If someone wants to have close relationships with the other members of the family, there can be no excuses like television.

enormous radio

Enormous radio is a pleasant short story which shows the realities in an ironic way. Irene is the main character in the story and i think that her name is related to the word ‘ironic’ because of her situation. She listens her neighbours daily conversations and sees the facts in true light by the ‘magical’ radio. However, she doesn’t realize that the things that she hears in the radio, is the reflection of her own life. It is thereason that i find her name relevant with the word ironic. Another interesting point is Irene’s quote which is ‘ turn that thing off maybe they can hear us’ . She can’t feel honest and afraid to be honest with herself. She doesn’t forbear to listen her neighbours lifes but she is afraid to be heard by someone else.

what are we fighting for

maybe it won’t be count 100 words what i am writing . When we talk about ties of love between two people, all of these terms like tax breaks,preferential immigration treatment,tenancy succession rights,health insurance benefits bothered me. Even if it is said that it is more than just a cluster of legal rights and benefits, it mentions that the wedding is for proving to society that they have a serious relationship. I am aware of all these material realities in daily life but ı am not pleased with public expectations if the subject is marriage although it is based on the same-sex marriage.

questions-what are we fighting for

1) What are the benefits of getting married?

2)What differs marriage from legal rights and benefits?

3)Why do people want to get married?

4)How are domestic relationships regarded by society?

5)What do you think of same-sex marriage?

When ı see that the story is dedicated to Bob Dylan, it attracted me more to read it. Maybe it is a trick to make the story more catchy but of course it is only a doubt. The writer, Joyce Carol Oates, mentions the problems of adoloscences, discovery of sexuality, the results of comparing daughters, exploration of male and female relationships. I think Oates expressed well the psychological situations. Anyhow, despite the impressive narration, ı didn’t like the content very much because ı generally don’t like to read psychological stories like this one. Maybe ı belittle this story because of Connie who i didn’t like her any due to her characteristic.

A rose for Emily

A rose for Emily is a short story which shows us how the impacts of society and the impressions of a strict father can be determinent on a young girl’s growth. To make comments on the story, I can make a point of why doesn’t she want to give her father’s breathless body to the authorized people by indicating that it can be an angry reaction to her father as a result of his insensivity to his daughter’s social development. At the end of the story Emily’s behaviour may be explained as a result of her lack of self-confidence on her relationships with men to does not allow him to run away from her.
