Reaction on Dead Stars
--Arabelle V. Morillo--
During our Literature class, we are asked to read the story "Dead Stars" by Paz Marquez-Benitez. At first I find it difficult to understand because its too long and some of the words are new to my vocabulary. But as I read it again, I began to absorb what the story about. And what I like in the story is that it differentiates the meaning of love from attraction. In the story, it shows how the guy in the story, Alfredo, realizes that he is not in love with Julia, instead its only a attraction which seems to be love for him. He find it confusing for he is engaged with another girl, Esperanza. There are times when we thought were in love but its not, its just an attraction that you wanted to know this person because you find something that differentiates him/her from the rest. And it may lead us to a confusion or dilemma, but what really matters is to use your heart and mind to choose what will let you happy and not in regret in the end.
