Today we had to complete our reading of "Snow
Country". Much to my dismay, but
falling right into my expectations, the second half of this piece was just as
boring if not more so than the first half.
It dragged on for what felt like forever and it was very much the same
content as the first half. The back and
forth between the man and the geisha.
The constant mood swings and drunken tendencies of the geisha. There were random other events that took
place throughout this half but none of them were really relevant, they just
kind of happened. The man took a day
trip. The geisha got obsessed and possessive and increasingly more
annoying. It took everything in me just
to finish the second half. Fortunately,
some excitement was thrown in at the very, very end of the story. The movie theater burned down and the woman
that the man was crushing on died falling from the building. How that fits into the story is completely
beyond me, but it was there and added a few seconds of interesting reading
right at the end. Overall, this piece
was borderline interesting with a whole lot of boring.
