Analysis of First love by Turgenev

In the First Love, Turgenev turns the Oedipus Complex into very mature deep love story. Vladmir, the main character who falls in love with Zinaida. Zinaida has her own characteristic and it is very unique compare to other women, and all the men in the town include Vladmir try to get Zinaida. However, Zinaida uses the love of people's love to tame them. When Vladmir founds out that Zinaida's in love with Vladmir, he felt mystery and fear from Zinaida's attitude of not being afraid to lose her future life. Turgenev explains love in very mystical way. Also the love between Vladmir's dad and Zinaida was very shocking feature because out of many men including Vladmir got rejected and Zinaida falls in love with old man. Maybe that can be the pure love without any influence of wealth or other special things.

First Love by Turgenev

The First Love by Turgenev had few different characteristics of Romanticism. Turgenev tried to use the character of Romanticism such as nature, emotion, individuality, and imagination. For nature, Turgenev described in detail about nature and its beauty. For example, he described the woods in detail and tried to make the situation beautiful. For emotion, love was expressed throughly in the story. Vladmir expressed his love toward Zinaida, and Turgenev depicted Vladmir's love very well. Also for the individuality, Zinaida is very unrestricted. She does not get restricted from society's rule and be very free person. In the First love, Turgenev described the romanticism very carefully

The object

1. This precious object that I use everyday has connection to Internet and helps me to take care of calendar very easily. I can call other people with it, check email, get online, play some games, watch youtube videos, and text other friends. This object has a lot of my personal informations and secrets, and it is like second Vincent. I love this object and takes it with me everywhere I go. 2. If I lose my precious object my whole life would become very inconvenient and I will be very sad. If I lose my object  than I wont be able to contact my friends, lose all of my personal informations and conversations with my friends, and I will be very boring without it. I might lose very big business chance because I cannot check my email on time. The loss will create miserable life that is so hard to fix. 3. One day, after the object have realized that I lost it, it was very sad and started to look for its new owner. Few minutes later, the object have found a new owner, a little boy with his toys, and the boy took the object. Boy thought it as a new toy, and he started to put that object in his mouth, threw it like basketball, and stepped on it whenever he walk across his room. The object was looking for me, but it was too late because I got new object to replace the old one. The old object started to cry and regret. That object is cellphone!

The nose by Gogol

From the perspective of nose

Since his birthday, I tried my best to give him fresh breathe and precise smell to both protect and help Kovalyov. Although I tried my best to be helpful, Kovalyov always used me for aesthetic reason while my friends eyes, ears, and mouth get recognized. This heart breaking reason made me sick for few days, and with deep thinking I decided to teach my owner a big lesson.

So one night I decided to escape from his face. Although, one of the eyes tried to persiade me from leaving, I left his face. I was little scared but I was also feeling fresh. I was so hungry so I went into the bread. It was delicious and warm so I stayed in there for one night. Next day, my wish to be a humanized nose became true and now I was in a higher class than my previous owner. The owner asked me to come back but I figured that it was because of his appearance. Although I was high class noble, my life was not fun because I am born to help the owner. Therefore I went back to his face. Kovalyov was so happy that I came back, but he is still Kovalyov, a man whose appearance is more important than actual function.

Tatyana please forget everything about me and go live your life with other man
I am sure that you can live your life without me.

Russia!

Starting from 2nd semester, the class started to read Russian literature. For introduction to Russia in general and culture, the class was divided up to different group and taught each other about Russia. The alphabet and Russian language was very interesting because although the shapes of alphabets are similar to English, they sounded totally different language. Also two alphabets are used to have effects on speaking without any sound. Also I discovered that some classical musics and ballet musics that I heard were from Russia. Rimsky Korsakov's Flight of Bumble Bee is my favorite and that's from Russia too. I think many Russian culture and characteristics are hidden to public because in Korea we learn about United States and other European countries but not really in depth about Russia. However I think that Russian culture have various factors that fascinates public.

Onegin

I was missed out of class due to the bible trip but I read Russian literature "Onegin" by Pushkin.
When I first encountered book, it was awkward to read the Russian book translated to English when I am from
Korea actually. However when I started to read this book, I figured that Onegin was a poor man who wants to be a rich man and he acts like one. Also in my opinion I think the book wrote realistic description of 19th century Russia. There was obvious class division and it the story will progress to talk about either Onegin's harsh life or his promotion to higher class person

Slaughterhouse Five made me dizzy~

During the Christmas break I opened the book, Slaughterhouse Five, and started to read the book. The book was very confusing because when I first read the story, I thought the story was boring like other war-time history. Personally I don't like to read historical fact book, but starting from second chapter, the theme of time travel showed up and interested me to read book more deeply. I learned in the history class, and almost 130000 people were died from the Dresden bombing. The author, Kurt Vonnegut, used a main character and theme of time travel to depict life in Dresden. However, the idea of time travel kept confused me, and distracted me. This distraction made read very hard to focus. Overall, personally I didn't like this book, but I am sure that Slaughterhouse five was great magical realistic piece.

Reflections on Hitchhiking Game

When I first read this book I was surprised to encounter the sexual contents because in Korea the society is more careful with reading sexual contents especially for minors.
The beginning was very interesting because the car was out of gas, and suddenly the plans were changed.
I personally like the story with fast pace of change in synopsis because it makes the story more intense and spectacular. Also the theme of escaping from the normality interested me because most people think of these things in their dreams, and the story take it into advance and layout more deep stories about each characters and settings. The mentioning of each character's personal feelings and history made story even more spectacular. Overall I really liked the Hitchhiking Game, and it was one of my favorite magical realist piece.
