Wow, I’m really glad that I reached the final week of this term. First of all, this RMST 202 class has been the most favourite course I have taken so far. Throughout the whole term, I have had an opportunity to read some great books and discuss them. what have I learned? In my entire […]
“It’s also true, as we well know, that there were a few cruel families who allowed themselves to be carried away by their own incurable inhumanity and went so far as to employ the services of the maphia to get rid of the miserable human remains […] (84) The natural world has the so-called ‘force […]
“This novel tells a true story. It involves a minor case, alrady forgotten among police chronicles […]” (204) When I started to read the book, being informed that it is a hard-boiled style thriller, I was really excited. I personally like the thriller, and heist movies (not the book, sorry to say). As I expected, […]
This book, [The Lover], was more familiar for me than other books, and it is most likely because of the movie released in 1992. It was not a completely different experience with texts, but indeed had a different impression on writings about her youth. Every time I write the blog post, I feel like I […]

It started with a man suggesting a perfect posture to read a book, and started the story. However, the story suddenly cut off — literally, cut off — as the […]
I have been traveling to Barcelona last year. Despite the awe I was experiencing with the beautiful buildings — more specifically, Guell Park and La Sagrada Familia — I was fascinated with the fact that those small villages that we usually never pay attention to when we travel was surprisingly similar to the small town […]
I was intimidated by the book before actually reading the book, since it doubled the length than the book read before this week. I was unconfident to even finish the book in time. However, [Deep Rivers] was, in my opinion, way easier to understand compare to the first few books previously read. Following the easiness […]
It was painful to read — not only about the difficulty of the book, but also the tragic feeling, maily from the love, I could look through Ana Maria’s life. As I follow Ana Maria’s life, from the “cowardly desertion” of Ricardo, her first love, lunatic jealousy of Silvia towards Maria Griselda, and marriage “out […]
“I shall discuss these things without pre-established order, and according to the mood of the moment which lets whatever survives survive” (23) [Nadja] was never an easy book to understand fully in one reading. In fact, the first impression of the book was pure confusion — it never goes as time passes generally, and it […]
[Combray] by Marcel Proust is not a page-turner. Every sentence in the book is lengthy and contains long-winded details, and every scene is, in my perspective, descriptive as the protagonist tries to depict everything he feels in the moment. One explicit example is the sentence above. In the sentence, he is trying to describe the […]
