A Glowing Future (Yukiko)

I liked this story very much. First, I thought this story was quite
scary, but as I read, I became to like this story. I think the structure of the story was good. It was scary though, but it was so exciting. My eyes followed the sentences and sentences. I couldn’t stop my fingers to turn the pages.

At the beginning, I liked Maurice more than Betsy. I thought Betsy was
such a mean and nasty woman. But as I read the story, I became to hate
Maurice so much, and I sympathized to Betsy. Also I sympathized a bit to Patricia, too. Well, there was nothing bad about Betsy and Patricia. There was nothing to accuse them. Maurice was bad. It was all Maurice’s fault.

He was such a bad, nasty guy. I can’t understand why Betsy loved such a nasty guy like him. Well, when they were together, maybe he wasn’t a nasty guy. But later on, she became to know that he’s nasty, and that he is the worst man in the world. Then, I thought she could throw away him and go to find the new boyfriend who is better than him. If I were her, I would do so. I can’t understand why she had to kill him. She killed him, and that means she has to go to the jail. She could come out from the jail someday, but she killed a person, so her life goes off the rails. If she had thrown him away and went to find the new man, she could be happy, and everything had gone fine. She messed her life by herself for Maurice. Why she had to?

That’s what I can’t understand. Why you have to spoil your life by
yourself for just one man? Maybe something very good was waiting after that tragedy. For that point, I thought Betsy was a bit stupid. Well, I haven’t loved a man that much; I don’t know what the real love is yet, so maybe I just don’t understand Betsy’s heart. But if I became an adult and if my boyfriend cheats, I think first, I will cry and swear. But soon, I would throw away him, and go to find more good man than him, and make my life happier than the time I spent with the ex-boyfriend. I wouldn’t kill him like Betsy and make my life to go off the rail. Why I have to make my life bad by myself just for one man? I’m not that stupid. I would live clever.

We can’t know what will happen in the future. Something really good or
something very bad could happen. If there was something so bad, maybe
something very happy is waiting after that. What important is not to lose control of yourself. I learned much from this story.
