Winter Dreams

Reading this story is very thought provoking. It made me think about what I should do in the near future and who I should trust. Dexter was a victim, a victim of love and uncontrollable desire. He was tempted. He could’ve ignored her and went on with Irene but, this is not what mostly happens. In real life, most men cannot resist this kind of urge. To be with the one whom they loved during the youth years was a dream come true. Unfortunately, for Dexter, Judy was nothing but a very professional woman. She chooses the man by his wealth not by his personalities. It was obvious in the story that everyone knows she was playing with their feelings. The men had appointments to have her as a date. She sets up traps for the newcomers to the club. Dexter moved on when she went away. He found Irene and they were engaged. Dexter, however, still can’t control his longing for Judy. One night they met and Dexter cheated on Irene. Dexter, looking back on his actions, did not even feel any regret about his actions or about hurting Irene and her family by betraying her. The story moves on and Dexter became one very, very rich man. He is now on his thirties and his associate, Delvin, informs him about Judy. She is now married to young men who does nothing but drink and beat her. Judy stays home with her kids. Dexter was alone when he shed tears. He was sad about how he wasted his youth on someone so ridiculous. He wasted his chance to find true love.
