response to The Forest

The Forest is a short fictional story. However, author uses the third person to narrate more objectively and straightly. It may convince readers to believe its authenticity. The main story is narrated by describing the conversations between Krzysztof and Bianca. And they all feel uncomfortable at the party. At first, Bianca is a little mad at Krzysztof because of his the foibles of the elderly. But later Bianca finds actually Krzysztof dislikes the party. She tries to talk with him, gradually being interested in his talk. In the end, Bianca brings Krzysztof to her private park to see a peace show. But Krzysztof hurts in the muddy path. Bianca sends him to hospital. Krzysztof finds him likes Bianca, while Bianca neglects it. When Bianca sends Krzysztof back to the party, she suddenly turns around and sends him to his hotel.

Actually I think it is hard to relate this story to research. But in my opinion, the research topic is about the forest. The research topic is about to look for your forest. But the forest not only means the real forest, but means everyone’ own place. From the story, we can know Krzysztof and Bianca are uncomfortable about the party that is filled with science and scientists. They all dislike the competitive and realistic atmosphere. Krzysztof has his own forest, Bianca has her secret park. As for how to find the forest, from the conversation between Krzysztof and Bianca we know people should not be common and follow the general trend. They should follow their hearts to build own places.

     There are some key terms, such as “forest” and “bison”. The forest means our own places. The bison presents our own thoughts. From the story, Krzysztof and Bianca have their different description or notion about bison. Krzysztof likes Bianca because he thinks they have similar ideas, but actually not. We also can realize their own different ideas by these two key terms, “back” and “away”. Krzysztof wants his life back, back to his forest. Bianca wants his now life away, desiring a new life. They are different. Thus I think this story reveals the truth that we must have our own place and thoughts.
