Sieze the day by Saul Bellow (1-40)

Summary:
Tommy Wilhelm (such a British name for me) is a protagonist. Right at the first chapter Saul Bellow gives us a summary of desires of the main character. He wanted to become an actor, so he dropped out of school at the age of fifteen. He wanted to be married but he broke up with his wife who does not want to give him a divorce. Finally he invested money but thinks he lost everything... He is depressed broke and lost... I picked that book because I did not want to end up like him... good thing I am still young, bad thing I already feel like him...
Quote:
"Also He was smoking a cigar, and when the man is smoking a cigar, wearing a hat, he has an advantage; it is harder to find out how he feels" (Bellow 3).
Reaction:
It is a very simple quote located on the first page of the novella, but I think it is great! Women are considered more emotional than man because they show their emotions more often. Man smoking a cigar and wearing a hat creates a very uncertain image and hides his emotions deep underneath his mask of superiority and strength. Do you know what man feels? Do you know how he feels pain or how he wants to hide it? Great quote... That feeling is very familiar to me....Good thing my classmates never open that blog, so they can never understand that the emotions they see are not even close to emotions I have inside myself...Since people don't care about you, crowd does! And it is easier to hide emotions from the crowd than from people who care about you...
