Goldsmith’s !

Frankly, I am still having troubles in connecting what I am reading to literature. “Soliloquy”  seems to be prose or plays in somehow as it is divided into acts. However, it looks incomplete and unconnected parts. What is written here is only the reaction’s and response’s of one person only! There is no a “visible” dialogue to make it enjoyable or even understood! It looks like a “monologue” at the first glance, nevertheless, it is not after continuing reading. Consequently, if it is not a class required, I don’t think that it will be my choose whenever I want to read.

The other work that is “Traffic” looks more interesting as it has such a powerful start. “… I realized that everything I was doing must have been Death” such words can attract readers’ attention to continue reading. While “Soliloquy” can be seen as prose or play, “Traffic” which is an interview, I am wondering how it can be seen as literature! Though this work is more of a literary work than the first yet it lacks the beauty literature in general possess. Though I honestly did not enjoy reading the work, yet it somehow allowed me to better understand what the idea of “differential texts” is all about. It is through how the story is nothing more than a report of how crowded a street is, I now understand what a differential text is !!!!!
