Free reflection task 2

I would like to talk about Eveline by James Joyce. I want to summarize the story first. In this story there is a girl who lost her mother and brother and feels lonely. The girl has several responsibilities such as working in a store, taking care of her brother and doing houseworks. She has a boyfriend named Frank. Although her father does not want her to see him, she ignores her dad and keeps meeting him. By the way her father attitude towards her is not sincere. Her father does not treat her as he does to his son. Because of all these sad things she sanks into despair and decides to go with her lover to set a new life. However, she changes her mind at the last moment and she stays. Now, I want to share my two opinions on the story. The first one is that this story touches my feelings. The writer describes the girl, her feelings, the situation she is in effectively. I have chance to empathize with her. I thought what would I have done if I were her. Additionally, the events are such realistic that I couln’t help thinking how poor she is. The second is about the ending. The writer does not specify why she does not go with her lover. In my opinion, there is two possible reasons. One is that she never loves him and that’s why she does not want to go with him. The other one is that she loves him; nevertheless, she cannot face up to not come back and not see her family again. These are just my  thoughts, we do not know certainly why she does change her mind. In conclusion, although some points are not clear in my mind, I enjoyed this short story.
