My reading journal 2

I have to say sorry to this book, teacher, and myself, because I have skipped almost a week in these two weeks. (For some private reasons)

So far, I just have read one section.

Even though I didn't read much, I can feel what the author (Liz) felt in some unique times.

For instance, one day I was on my way home and read this book, and I cried because her heartbroken.

Liz wrote an email to David (her lover after her divorce)

She imagines he will ask she back to his arms and he will change.

However, the fact is cruel; he agrees with Liz that they have to say good-bye forever.

The paragraph is about Liz's reaction after seeing the email

"I sit there staring at the computer screen in silence for a long, sad time. It's all for the best, I know it is. I'm choosing happiness over suffering, I know I am. I am making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises. I know all this. But still… "

I can understand this kind of dilemma. I think only time can smooth the hurt.

I just broke up with my boyfriend last year. Sometimes I feel upset, depressed, and not knowing what to do. I know my decision is right, but I still cannot bear the loneliness.

"…… Beauty attracts beauty" he wrote this back to Liz.

And another funny thing is every city has a single word that defines it.

A friend of Liz's says that Rome's word is SEX, and Liz thinks the word of New York is ACHIEVE.

I think the word of Taiwan is SETTLE DOWN. And I also wonder about my own word, I cannot find an extremely word for myself. Maybe it's dilemma, I think.

Wish you can find your own word. =)

Last week I listened the speech "I have a dream".

Btw, I have finished "the bluest eye" last week. (Because I took the class "novels in English" ) I enjoy learning English.

That's all for my reading journal.
