Camparison Beween the Two Stories

            The two stories "The third bank of the river" and "Love" have some similarities and differences. They both have to do with deep understanding of life that the characters experience in their own little world. Some readers, like me for instance, will not understand the stories in the sense they were written. I think the authors write their stories in a broad kind of way so that readers can interpret the story anyway they see it fit. Authors go deep in their stories leaving the readers on their own to figure out the whole concept of a story. Despite the hardship of the interpretation of the two stories I was able to pick up some similarities and differences between the two.
             In the story "Love" Anna is bothered by the blind man not being able to enjoy life like normal people can. The author shows this by explaining that Anna goes on with her life and spends each day smoothly, but after the day she met that blind man everything changed. She looked at life as though it was unfair and cruel. Everything annoyed her, made her mad, she felt that life was filled to the brim with sickening nausea. It bothered her that she could see all the beauty of life but the blind man couldn't. This showed that we take life for granted, we don't see all the beautiful gifts we were given. We tend to ignore these things for we are more concerned about how to get through the day. We see the different view of life by the father in the "The third bank of the river", he is not happy with the way life is and what happens during our lives. He sees that there isn't anything special that goes on in our existence. Life is pointless in his eyes, although we thank god everyday fo!.
             r bringing us to this world. The narrator shows this when he tells us that his dad was circling around the river which symbolizes his life going round and round and not getting anywhere. River would represent life for it is spacious and isn't going anywhere.
