Enormous Radio

i think enormous radio is the best short story we have read in this lecture. the horror concept in the story helps it to separate itself from other stories. the inquisitiveness of Irene and the calmness of Jim harden the balance between them. also the addiction of Irene to the radio is also pictured well. The last part of the story is also another great part of the story. the reader first recognizes the quarrel between Irene and Jim from the radio dialogs that Irene heard. after that the starting point of the argue; the money issue occurs and at the and Irene became obsessed with the radio and thinks the radio hears their argue. this kind of interesting types of short stories can be more interesting for students to read and think about it.

What marriage is for?

She doesn't seems like she respects to aspect of marriage because she always tried to explain or put a definition to word "marriage". but i think like love, marriage is something that cannot be defined clearly or cannot have logic in it. Therefore this caused me to think that the writer and i are not having the same ideas about the marriage. however she has really good points on supporting same-sex marriage. her observations and comments on both normal marriage and same-sex marriage helps reader to understand the situation in different ways.
