Camparison Beween the Two Stories
The two stories "The third bank of the river" and "Love" have some similarities and differences. They both have to do with deep understanding of life that the characters experience in their own little world. Some readers, like me for instance, will not understand the stories in the sense they were written. I think the authors write their stories in a broad kind of way so that readers can interpret the story anyway they see it fit. Authors go deep in their stories leaving the readers on their own to figure out the whole concept of a story. Despite the hardship of the interpretation of the two stories I was able to pick up some similarities and differences between the two. In the story "Love" Anna is bothered by the blind man not being able to enjoy life like normal people can.

Maybe someone else can understand you and can help you out with your struggles. r bringing us to this world. The narrator shows this when he tells us that his dad was circling around the river which symbolizes his life going round and round and not getting anywhere. River would represent life for it is spacious and isn't going anywhere. Every now and then the nature would take its course and the river would widen and wash away the trees and everything that stands in the way. Just like in real life people die and are taken away from people close to them. The father wants us to think about our lives, to ask ourselves what we live for. the beautiful gifts we were given. We tend to ignore these things for we are more concerned about how to get through the day. We see the different view of life by the father in the "The third bank of the river", he is not happy with the way life is and what happens during our lives. He sees that there isn't anything special that goes on in our existence. Life is pointless in his eyes, although we thank
