1.The Enormous Radio


I want to mention about The Enormous Radio reading text which we all read in first week.In this story there are two important character who are called Jim and İrene Westcott.They really interest with music so they took a radio.After that,strange things started to happen because they heard some noises from radio which belonged to their neighbors.

I have some determinations about this text and I want to arrange them.
  • In this story there is a irony because I started to read a text, I thought this couple are perfect and they have a good marriage.However, at the end of the story I realised they have lots of problems which they haven't talked before.In fact, they are playing the role of happy couples.
  • This two couple do not talk with each other anymore.Jim works all day and when he comes home,he felt tired so he didn't deal with his wife's problems,concerns or thoughts.As a result, Irene overcomes her loneliness by dealing with radio.
  • Jim bought this radio for make his wife happy but this radio brings her unhappiness and she became depressed when she learned every truths about her neighbors.
  • They have economical problems but Irene didn't aware of that until Jim warned her.
