This book seems very tragic from the start. Firstly, the woman he pays a rich family to wed, who is their servant, he hadn't met until the day of matrimony. In addition,to fit in with society, he has to be as mean as he can to her short of beating her, although he is unwilling to do so. Being forced to treat someone one respects is a virtual nightmare. Even Wang's father is cruel and spiteful towards Wang and everything. Even the world hates his true form, only respecting and acting civil towards those they can suck up to for money,like leeches in their greed for what they live off of. Not once would a robbery opportunity be passed up in this cruel,dog-eat-dog world, where only the strong and devious get the money to live well. No one would want to live in this kind of place, where the only peace is in isolation, far away from the wretched scum that dominate the city.
Even far out in his home, outside of town, the greed never stops. ''Why are you wasting tea? It's like eating silver.'' This is the greed of his own father insisting not to give him tea. He is so greedy for money he tries to refuse a luxury such as tea out of lust for money. A world without true emotion. Only money.
Nice job. I like how you use language to speak about the text, adding a real creative flair to your prose. Do go back into your text to repair mistakes, and revise to improve your writing.
ReplyDeleteYou responses are very good, with nice vocabulary, but try to post more personal stuff, I would love to read more of your work.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading this response. You used a lot of text evidence to support your ideas and used a lot of good vocabulary. I don't have anything to complain about in this response.
ReplyDeleteI think that you are really good writer, and you use very good vocabulary and sentence structure. You don't really have a lot to work on, but maybe next time you could write a little more personal pieces.
