ENG 2800 with Prof. McGlynn

so far so good, lots of sex yay.. haha.

 In the few pages I’ve read so far, i find themes we’ve discussed in class related to other books, such as women been portray negatively. Shahzaman said to himself ” women are not to be trusted” after he found his  wife with another man or when the demon’s woman said to the kings ” when i women desires something, no one can stop her”. Don’t fall to sleep, or bad things would happen to you is another very important theme we find in the very first pages of the book, but in this case it not only applies to people, it also affects demons. In addition to this human quality adhered to the black demon, the desire for women is another human quality the black demon in this book possess and he is cheated by his woman. Good stuff so far!!!

I was intrigued as a read the The Story of Ying-Ying by its powerful settings. This story engages the reader with its setting, the fact that she was 17 years of age, her beauty according to the narrator, i personally loved it the story. I was not surprise by the fact that Chang and Miss Ts’ui had an affair, both knowing that they were relate by blood, they were family,i’m more a an open mind person. what surprised me was Miss Ts’ui’s character, definitely, at first i thought of her as a strong woman, not a weak bony girl as described in the text, but then i was shocked by the power of verbal skills.  THIS WAS  A GOOD LOVE STORY, different from many i’ve read.
