Reflection

Everyone has the right to love, he or she has the right to who will he or she is with for the rest of his or her life.

The story that I have read is entitled as “Love is a Fallacy”, by Max Schulman. Its story is not as romantic as Romeo and Juliet or even the love story of Jack and Rose. I may not yet feel the feeling of being in love but I am also a person, I have a heart that pumps my blood and pumps my feelings. Can you understand what I am trying to say? Just like my introduction, we are free to choose somebody who we really love. But why do sometimes other people is judging why we have chosen that kind of guy? Of course I am one of those, if I am going to compare the story of Polly and Max, I will also question Polly why she has chosen Petey over Max. It will just be fine with me if she chose Petey because if Petey is intelligent or handsome but choosing Petey just because of his raccoon coat! It’s nothing!

Max is an ordinary guy with extraordinary brains. He might not be that rich but maybe he got the looks. One thing I don’t like about Max is he gives high standards, which I guess no one other than Polly can reach it. But Max judges Polly just for one glance. As in, he judges Polly without knowing whom Polly really is. And this is one thing that I don’t like about some boys, they have great standards but they didn’t try to look and ask themselves if their standards are also fit for them.

I love the part when Max and Polly were together. Max is very sweet with Polly although there are times that Max is hot tempered. And the part when Max proposes his love for Polly was very sweet. The setting where Max proposes and most especially the word he used was really deep and you can really feel his sincerity and true love. And I like that very much. Like what I have said, I found it very sweet. And when the time comes that a guy will have a proposal to me and of course we must know each other very well, I may definitely give the boy a yes most especially when he has the sincerity and love for me.

But Polly had changed the mood of the sweet night. She answered Max with fallacies which Max taught her. I don’t know why Polly was like that, I thought she also likes or even loves Max, but I was wrong. All I know, I can’t get over with the last line in the story. It says there that Polly had chosen Petey just because of a raccoon coat!

If I were Max, I must not have taught the fallacies to my love because maybe he will use it against me.

So one thing that I can only advice Max and other guys in town is, you must not extenuate people because of that, because of this. You must know the person very well before you estimate the person’s capability.
