Moravia\u2019s Agostino<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This week the reading was a linear storyline which I can say was actually enjoyable as it makes it easier to read. I enjoyed the fact that it was a linear story, as I am not a big reader and reading like last week can get me a little bit confused.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This reading\u00a0 was not as surrealistic as the ones before which I actually enjoyed. It did not have much of that fantasy stuff which I am a fan of,\u00a0 but rather it was a usual story line, which even though we have been reading.\u00a0 I am a little disappointed compared to what we have been reading. I enjoyed it a lot, to the point where I read it all in one sitting.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I enjoyed this reading because as said before I am not a big reader which causes me to miss some big things. But this one, I was able to keep up with the whole reading which made me feel good and actually enjoy the book compared to last week\u2019s. I did not feel as attached to the reading and I think I know why. The whole thing about changing the way Agostino sees his mother did not entertain me as much but rather made me feel in discomfort. I enjoyed the whole interaction with the fisherman boat people. But the interaction with the mother did not make her see her as just his mother. But something else I did not enjoy is it made me feel rather a little uncomfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I will say again that the factor of this being a one story line that was easier to read for me. Which was rather enjoyable as it allowed me to follow the whole lecture without much of a problem. And it was good but I would much rather go with last week’s reading even though it is a little more hard and nonlinear. much more enjoyable and a storyline which has you much more hooked into the story.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Because of this I would like to know If you enjoyed this week’s lecture more than last weks which did not follow a linear storyline. I personally, even though it was harder, enjoyed much more last week because I thought this week had much more of a sentiment impact compared to last week which did have an impact on me.. In the case that you did not read last week, I w9uld like to know if you like reading more than the other\u00a0 weeks compared and I would like to know why. As I believe this story was a little bit more dark and sad compared to last, but it did follow a linear storyline I believe.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
