Reflection:After reading this book, I think Macon is a bed guy. He hesitated between two women. He never wonder how Muriel or Sarah feeling. I don’t understand when Macon met Sarah again he didn’t refuse her to live together again. I think behavior of Macon like a teenager. He just follows his heart instead of deal with deep problem. Moreover, Macon is so indecisive. When he face different woman, he would change his mind. It is represent he never determined to stop a relationship. If I were Sarah I would not agree with Macon move together again. Because I had endured him in the past, I don’t believe he can change. Moreover, he has had a girlfriend. I can’t accept to share my boyfriend to other woman. Maybe I not only agree with him but also scold at him for abandon Muriel Pritchett. However, most angry thing for me is he finally gets married with Muriel Pritchett while I pay out my love. He is like a hooker that some people want to live with him together and he just assent them. I do not appreciate Macon who has the acting style. While I think the story is simple, the writer describes in detail.If I can write thoroughly, my composition must be praise. The story is boring but it has something to learn.
