 Visitors that Come in the Night, by Jang Ryujin (2019)


Rating: 8.5/10


It was fun to guess of the men coming in front of the door and why were they coming. I guessed that the place where she moved was used as a prostitution before. The men knew the password of the doorlock so they kept pressing. And also they come at night. So these are the evidences of this place. 

In Korean society now, there could be a similar situation like this. In the news sometimes appears the situation like this. A strange man follows a woman and tries to go inside her house. So I think this story is giving a warning to people as a Urban Myth. Because of this, it made the story more excited and I wanted to read the full version of this story. I'm very curious of the men's identity and how the woman deals with this situation. (143 words)

A Mother, By James Joyce (1914)

  A Mother, By James Joyce (1914) Rating: 8/10 Mrs. Kearney felt like a Gangnam Mother in our society. She takes too much care of her daughter. This is the way that can stop her daughter's future. Now and then, people don't like interference from a person's family. The person doesn't have any feelings, but because of her family, she may be on the black-list from the committee.  In my experience, I also don't have good attention to whom are like mama boys. They grew up as well as to communicate with us, but their parents think that they are still young to give their opinion. This is the reason why this story is best related to me and easy to understand. I also felt that mothers who are like that were still there a hundred years ago.

The Boarding House, By James Joyce (1914)

  The Boarding House, By James Joyce (1914) Rating: 8/10 I want to talk about the place 'boarding house'. A boarding house is a place where lots of people stay, but usually, people who aren't rich manage and those class of people stay there. Mrs. Mooney was worried of these guests. They aren't rich so they may seem bad, and they could do something bad to Polly so she was very sharp of the part from Polly. Guests stay long in the boarding house, so they are almost familiar with each other and know well about each other. Also there are such rules to keep in the house, so the guest may have been afraid of the owner. Mr. Doran might have been that too. He afraid Mrs. Mooney so it was difficult to meet with Polly.  Also I want to compare about the marriage with Eveline. In Eveline, the social background, which people thought that marriage is a kind of death to women, block marrying. In the boarding house, what Mrs. Monney thought about the husband could stop the marriage, bu

Araby, By James Joyce (1914)

  Araby, By James Joyce (1914) Rating: 9/10 My step of the hero's journey is No.7 Approach to the innermost cave. I think in this short story, there is a hero's journey. The main chatacter was first just attracted to Mangan's sister. However, after going to the Araby, he finds out that the world is not like his illusion and she has no interest in him. The 7th stage of the hero's journey is that when he said he wanted to go to Araby to his uncle.  The reason I rated this story 9 is I liked the grow of the main character. He is just a teenager so he might see the world as a illusion. He is a power 'N' in the MBTI personality test. However, after finding the unconcern of the people in the bazaar, and the Araby is not a fancy place like he thought, he was shocked. After that, he thought that his love was in one-way, and he may give up his love. This part was the favorite part. This felt really like a growth story of a teenage boy. (178 words)
