The Women of the Hour
The story flows on the woman named Anna. According to the author, Anna is a woman who is always happy, enthusiastic and I can say an approachable woman because she has a lot of friends. The author and she, always chatting and do school projects together most of the time. They also shares their experiences and became a very good friend. When the author is asking about the reason why she is always happy, Ana just say that life is too short that we should be happy all the time. In times of problem, trials and troubles, we should know how to smile and give love to other people. Speaking of love, this woman named Anna, has a boyfriend namely, Edison. Anna loved Edison so much, that sometimes, she forgot herself just to be with Edison, and make him feel special all the time. All this thing and that, were done by Anna. And for the mere fact that she is a product of a broken family, so that Anna love Edison so much. Because she didn't feel the love. The love that she thinks will be given by her through the use of Edison. She's been a product of a broken family since her, grades school. As they graduated in high school, they enrolled in different universities to go on with their studies. Even though they enrolled in different school, they still have communication. But that's not took so long, because their both busy, Anna and the author, to their studies. Until such time, the author heard a news from their former classmate named Mitch about Anna, that shocked him. According to her, Anna became depressed because her boyfriend Edison cheated her, while she is busy in school. And one more thing that shocked the author is that, the woman that she knows before who is energetic, funny, is now eaten by her depression. She became alcoholic, chain smoker, stagnant, and the worse is, she tried to commit suicide, and become deteriorated. Now her boyfriend Edison has a wife. After hearing that, I decided to see Anna, because he knows that Anna really needs his help. When they met, they're so many changes that happened to Anna. She became pale and she looks weak. They hugged each other and Anna tell what happened to her and Edison. After he listen to her story, he encourage Anna to pursue her studies, and go on with her life. Anna accept the advice of the author. So now, Anna, worked at the United Kingdom as a nurse and she already forgave Edison, and hopefully next year, she'll be married to her fiancee. The main character on this story is Anna. I think the author made her the center of the story because, in some ways, the author and she has the same personality. Because like Anna, the author is also energetic, enthusiastic, and also he has a lot of friends. What made I say so all of this stuff? Because, I knew him personally. So for me that's make Anna the center of the story. The dominant impression of his character is that, she is energetic, fond of making friends, and always happy. She uses this impression to cover the pain she felt inside. Because the author knew about that, she is a product of a broken family, through conversation. In short, the author, made the main character as a product of broken family. The secondary character of this story, is the author himself. They are related to each other because, they are friend since high school, even though they enrolled in different universities when they graduated in high school, they still have conversation. As for me, the dialogue use to present the main character through, conversation. Like what Anna said that life is too short, that we should enjoy every single day of our lives. The main character involve in internal conflict, and so is the author. Because when the main character knew about her boyfriend cheated her, she slipped into despair, and the author is there to comfort her. The man character is a female, named Anna, who is always happy. She loves to mingle with everybody , she has a lots of friends because she is kind, enthusiastic and energetic. She has a natural personality, so that is why she has a lots of friends.
The character outstanding traits is that, like what I've said, she has a natural personality. I can say that her strength is, she has a positive outlook in life, even though she is a product of a broken family. And her weaknesses are, she trust a lot, love a lot, with other people, most specially to her boyfriend. Who is then cheated her. As what I have said earlier, she is a product of a broken family, so she doesn't have a family to lean on, but then she has a friend like the author, whom always there, in times of strength and weakness.
And also the character has a strong personality because, even though she was cheated by her boyfriend, she keep pursuing her dreams, and keep studying, because she followed the advice of the author. The information presented in the exposition, is when the author says his character by describing it. As when the author says his character is always happy, is one of the example on how does the author introduce his character. The incident begins the movement of the plot, when she experience the hardiest problem on her life and become deteriorated.
The main character is involve with internal problem. Because her problem is inside herself. Emotional. As what I have said a while ago she's been cheated by her boyfriend, who was then married to another women, without even broken up with her. The character make an important decision, by fighting her depression, she became busy and was able to finish her studies and now working to the United Kingdom as a nurse, and hopefully will be married by her fiancee. The incident make up the rising action of the story, when the main character slipped in depression and begun to use vices and the worse is she commit suicide. As for me, the climax of the story is when the author decided to see the girl and give her advice, which is she followed. The turning point change the course of event, when the major character followed the advice of the author andbecome successful in her life. The series of events that best shows the conflict is that, when the main character, uses vices such as, alcohol, she became chain smoker, and the worse is she tried to commit suicide. For me, in this story, that is the best that shows the conflict. The conflict resolve by the end of the story , when the main character choose to pursue her studies and become successful in her chosen field. The character create a dominant impression. The kind of conflict has been clear to me, a reader, so that is why I was able to identify that the conflict being used is internal. Although their are some points that needs to be revised, but then all in all, it is clear. The plot is logically and fully, arranged. As what I have said, their are some parts in this story that should be rewritten, but then his story can be understood by the readers. The one who is telling the story is the first person, or the author himself. In this story, the point that has been used to narrate the story is the word, "I". The evidence that the story used the first person is that, the whole story used the first person only. Which is of course, the author. The story will be changed. if the author used the second person and/or omission. The main character in this story has always a positive outlook in life, but then, in times of troubles, their is always a friend to lean on. At first, when I know that Nathaniel Abad is the one I will critic, I have a great expectation because, Nathaniel is a intelligent person, has a lot of self-confidence, always recites in the class, and also a good friend of mine. I was a little bit disappointed about he's story because, when I was starting to read it, I'm sorry to say this but, there are some parts of the story, that needs to be revise, rewritten and improve. I'm not saying that, mine is perfect, that there is no need to be improve, revise, rewritten, or what ever it is, but then through reading, you can distinguish that this story is very good, good and satisfactory. But then, I'm happy that Nathaniel were able to create such a wonderful story, and I was able to gain some values that, even though we have a lots of problems encountered in our lives, whether big or small, we shouldn't stop pursuing our dreams to make it come true. And also, he should be careful in using symbols, such as period, semi colon, and also the pauses that he is using. But then all in all, two thumbs up for him. And it's an honor that I'm the one who critic his work. That is all I can say. Thank You and God Bless.
