語ろう!

3月になりました。
サマリー提出なさった方お疲れ様でした。
まだの方も、、1行でも頑張ってくださいね〜

今月は私が当番?(笑)とのことで、Preparationsに関する質問を
考えてみました。。(こんなのでいいかちょっと不安だけど)

Have you ever absorbed in the idea that might absurd to other people?

If so, please share the idea.
If not, tell us your answer to "his" question number 9.

注;Number9は
  How do they retell the story? What recedes, what becomes hilighted? Do they laugh more with each retelling? Or does the sour taste remain? Do they wonder about their own deaths, who will or will not be present and why? Will they, the next time, be among the dying, the present or the absent?

I would rather say
"an instinct reaction," is derived with love from
her inner feeling without thinking anything.

Dear Sanae and the other members.....

Hi, there. How are you doing ?
Today is very warm and I guess spring is just at the corner. I'm relieved to have submitted
a summary of "Preparations."

Well in regard to Sanae's proposal, I would like to answer "his" question No. 9 as for the moment I can't think of anything I have absorbed that might absurd to other people.

I would retell the story of Anya with a little exaggeration. The exaggeration is not about her odd appearance but her quick reaction with instinct upon hearing her husband's death.
Such an automatic reaction, I would rather say "an instinct reaction," is derived with love from
her inner feeling without thinking anything.
That part should be highlighted in case I retell the story.

That's What I thought through Sanae's question.
I'm not sure it is an appropriate response though......

 I have absorbed in many ideas in many times.

Hi everyone!

Sorry to response to Sanae's question.
I have absorbed in many ideas in many times.
But I almost forget those things.
What I slightly remember is what if I survived after everone else died or disapperared? ,what if I had to eat other people's body or die?,what if someone I love kissed other woman in front of me?

All I tohught was ridiculous, I know.
However, life is unpredictable, you know.
I think a lot of occasions which might happen, but I can't decide how I react on such occasions.
Can I prepare for those things?
I'm not sure.

How about you all?

Once I dreamed that everone else turned into vampires, and normal person was only me!
I was hiding some place and wondering whether I ran from people including my family or I join them and make me a vampire.
The dream ended that I was just wondering.
How would you do?

What if I had sudden heart attack or something and had to call 119 or someone near by.

Hi members!

How was my question? Was it difficult (odd) to answer??
Thank you for your response to my question, middle-angel and goebe!!

Here is my absurd idea to share with you.

I am not good at cleaning the house. With my 3-year-old son's "help", the rooms are far from "neat and tidy", sigh. So I sometime think what if I had sudden heart attack or something and had to call 119 or someone near by. I am afraid that they might think that I also attacked by burglary because of the mess!! Am I silly to think such things?? Maybe. My blood type is B, FYI.

Hope more members join the discussion!

If I were her ( in the same situation) I would like to do the same thing.

Hi, Everyone. Sanae, thank you for the interesting questions you chose.
> Have you ever absorbed in the idea that might absurd to other people? ......I am sure I must have...,but I don't remember anything now.
> If so, please share the idea.
> If not, tell us your answer to "his" question number 9. So, his qustion
No.9 is "How do they retell the story?" I don't know how they did, but if I were there and if I were one of them, I would tell that Anya is a great woman and they were a good couple. It doesn't matter to me if she is educated or intelligent. She just did what she should have and what she wanted to. Without hegitation she rushed to her husband almost naked and she talked to him before he died. How much do you care about how you look or what kind of person people including your friends) think you are or what kind of impression you might give them if you did something embarassing or weired in front of them? Usually I do care about these kind of things and I'm sure Anya does too, but they are not the most important things in our lives. If I were her ( in the same situation) I would like to do the same thing. Am I a kind of person like Anya or a kind of person like the author? I could be more like Anya than the author, but I am not sure if I really could rush to my husband as quickly as Anya did. I might get something to put on first voluntarily. What you now think you would do, and what you actually do on that moment, would be different. Don't you think so?

Anyaのしたことってそんなに変ですか〜?私はこの著者ほどショックを受けたり しないような気がします。ショックはショックだろうけれど、抵抗はないです。私は Anyaみたいに主人にかけよれるか・・・考えてみると・・・う〜んたぶん・・・ と思いますが、これが主人じゃなくて子供だったらと考えると・・・何をさておいて ももちろん裸でもかけつけると断言できます。本能的なものなんでしょうか。それと も私だけ〜? では、3月の課題もがんばって読みます。 ぽち
「心の準備」
Rilla

Dear my friends,

I'll try to answer Sanae's question below.

> Have you ever absorbed in the idea that might absurd to other people?
>
> If so, please share the idea.

Sorry, I have no idea about that question for the moment.

> If not, tell us your answer to "his" question number 9.

ごめんなさい。英語で書きかけたのですけれど、思うようには書けないので日本語で回答させていただきます。勿論、日本語ででも難しいけど・・・

私は、Anya がどれだけ深く彼女の夫を愛していたか、ということに焦点を合わせて話したいと思います。
若い頃に詩集を出したこともある知的な彼女ですが、異国のアメリカに来て言葉や慣習が違い、いろんな面で不自由な思いをしていたのではないでしょうか?何かにつけて夫が彼女の支えになっていたのだと思います。

彼の心臓が悪くなってからは、何時発作が起きるかと、きっとハラハラドキドキしながら毎日を送っていたことでしょう。彼女にとっては、1番大事な頼りになる最愛の人ですから。

「Preparations」…彼女は、どんな時にでも夫が発作を起こしたら、即駆けつける「心の準備」が出来ていたのでしょうか?
