["Cold water for blood"]...

Tell you what! I can relate this short story to the another, it was the short story named “The Yellow Wall-Paper� by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Though of course this one is completely different from the other. But yes I can vote this one OK though not favorite�

Anyway while I was reading, the story did disturbed me in some point. I felt like me too was thinking as same as like that young woman who was driven crazy whenever she saw that hospital gown. Kind of depressed or related anxiety? I might say yes�

In the end while I finished I found the section of “Study Guide for The Gown� and it 50 questions to which you could answer. But in here I want to answer first 6 question that I really feel to be answered as this story did affected me�

Q.1 - How did you feel as you read the story? Confused, sad, anxious, amused? How did your feelings change as the story went on?
Ans. - I feel like it was me who was viewing or say experiencing the event alongside with that young lady. I felt like me too playing a role with her mind and as if my mind got equal with her character. In some point it drained my inner strength. Not confused, not amused but sad and anxious? Yes I think so�

Q.2 - Have you ever been made extremely uncomfortable, or even frightened, by something that seemed harmless to everyone around you?
Ans. - Yes. But I don’t want to talk about it or describe it as it remind me something dark that I never want to remember again. Better let it be there what it belongs�

Q.3 - How do you feel about the main character? Did you like her, identify with her, find her annoying, even dislike her?
Ans. - Are you kidding? No way, why on earth I would find her annoying or dislike her? It was not her fault of course. I felt really sad and sorry for her. As she very much possessed with that hospital gown and could not get out off from it. It’s pathetic to having a experience like it when you actually are the affected person if you know what I mean. I like her and I wish the story has a good ending with her solving the problem. But anyway I feel quite positive about her character�

Q.4 - What three words would you use to best describe this story?
Ans. - It was OK�

Q.5 - Did the story make you remember events in your own life, and reconsider them in any way?
Ans. - Well, no offense but I think the answer is already given in Q.2�

Q.6 - Was there anything in the story that you could strongly relate to?
Ans. - Sorry to say as I mentioned already I just don’t want think about my past�

Rating : 4 out of 5�
