Love is a Fallacy-Reaction Paper
The story of Max Schulman entitled "Love is a Fallacy" is indeed a very nice story.The characters of the story really showed how dumb and stupid they were.They do not think of things that are more important.All they care about is themselves and not of others.
For me it was entitled Love is a Fallacy because in the story the characters Polly,Petey and Max really are not feeling the thing that you call love.They are really not in love because for them love is not really true..simply it is just a fallacy.Just for example Polly,she only went steady with Petey just because of one reason..he had a raccoon coat.Which only means and shows that she does not really feel love or something for Petey.It was even just like she was only in love with the raccoon coat of Petey than with Petey himself.The material thing became more important to her than what she felt deep inside her heart.Even though she did not love Petey she still went steady with him just because of a raccoon coat.And as for Max,in the end he was the stupid person.He kept on looking for a perfect girl to fit him.A girl who would be fit for him as his wife so that his career would improve in a great way.He gave Petey the raccoon coat that he wanted just to have Polly as his wife but instead Polly chose Petey over him so there was no use in exchanging the raccoon coat for her.
Although the story uses much deep words you would understand its thought if you would really pay much attention and put much effort in understanding it.The author really showed much effort in his writing.The thought of the story was discussed and tackled very clearly.He wrote the story of his in a very nice way or very well enough to make the readers or the people understand the meaning of it.As you read the story you would be learning many things and lessons that you may or would or can use.Reading the story can make you understand and would help you choose what is more important for you.For me the thought or the idea of the story really can touch the lives and the heart's of the readers.It would help a lot for us in our daily life's challenges and problems to face.
I like the story because it really shows,discusses or describes what the importance of love is in a simple way.In life we should know what the important things are that we need to have in order for us to have a nice and beautiful life.Material things are not what really makes a person happy ..money and many other riches in this world can never make a person very happy and contented..it is right that money can buy anything but it cannot buy happiness.All it buys are things we can use but what we really don't need.Sometimes in life we choose material things more than what would really make us happy.We decide wrongly on some important matters in our life.We should learn already from our mistakes and change all the wrong things we have done so that we would have a life worth living.
Love is not really a fallacy.It is what you feel deep inside you..that is what matters most..it is up to you to make it real.If you love the person then go ahead and love him or her.Do what it takes you to be happy.Do not waste a single chance because you may not have another one.Just make sure that you would make the right choices in life.choose everything properly and wisely using every inch of knowledge you may have so that you would not regret anything.Always believe in love and it would be true.Learn to treasure it with all your heart because it is one of the most important things in life that we should have.
