Hello, Good Bye.

 Hello, Good Bye. “Hello. Good Bye.” If this is my first time seeing this sentence, I wouldn’t think that this would be the last sentence that a father said to his family. But that was exactly the case in the play The Glass Menagerie . This is one of the most famous American literature pieces. The Glass Menagerie is written by Tennessee Williams. When I first started to read it, I thought this is just a play about the life of ordinary People in America. But as I kept on reading, I found out that there are so much more than that. In The Glass Menagerie, Tom Wingfield is not only one of the characters in the play, but also the narrator of the play. He says at the beginning of the play, “The scene is memory and is therefore nonrealistic. Memory takes a lot of poetic licenses. It omits some details, others are exaggerated, according to the emotional value of the articles it touches, for memory is seated predominantly in the heart.” Then, the story begins. The main characters a...

Monday, Sunny. Today is the D.A.R Meeting of my business college. I’ve been thinking about it all the time when I was walking down the park as I usually did. I didn’t even get to hand the piece of cookie to the little street dog under the old tree. I saved it for him form yesterday’s dinner. Sorry doggy. I will bring something else for you next time.

People like Jim doesn’t exist everyday. No one besides me smile at me. He was the only one that treated me just like others...or, maybe even a little bit special… He must be married with a nice wife now. And ...

Tom: quote: “Look, Mother-I haven’t got a thing, not a single thing left in this house that I can call my own.” … “ Yesterday you confiscated my books. You had the nerve to…(being interrupted by Amanda)” … “ House! House! Who pays the rent on the house, who make a slave of himself to…(being interrupted by Amanda again.” These quote showed me how less Tom was respected and cared by Amanda. When Tom tried to express his feelings to Amanda, Amanda hardly listens. She doesn’t even let Tom finish his statement once he talks about something that she doesn’t like. With the depression brought by his family and the satisfaction of his life, Tom must be so unhappy. His dream is to be a writer. The only thing that can bring him happiness is the books. When Amanda took the books away, Tom was hurt already. However, Amanda thinks that she does it for Tom’s good. She doesn’t care what he likes. She only consider what she thinks is good for him. Tom had tried so hard to support the family th...
