English 101

I really enjoyed this short story because it make me think that why people are so curious about others’ life. They use thinking of others as a way of escaping their own problems. Also the important point is when they realize that their curiosity damages their life, they give up listening people and start to behave as the same way as their neighbors do. I think, the reason of this attitude is, people can evaluate the situations more accurate when they are looking it from outside. Another point in the story that I find interesting, Irene figures out that most of the families are so different than they look, every of them has their own stories that can be so unacceptable.
