1. Enormous Radio

It was a quiet good short story. Theme is post war american family and main characters are two person, which is a couple. In story everything about this couple paired perfectly with model american family. For example they have two children and man is at work wife is going brunch with her friends. Suddenly couple's radio break down and they need buy a new one. I think this is the break point of the story. They buy a new one and incidents are starting. First they dont understand the problem but after some repair they can clearly hear neighbours discussions. Radio's appereance is very symbolic. It is very inelegant and unsuitable with woman's living room, which very careful decorated. In my opinion, it is not going well with american family model and writer tried to criticize it. In the end of the story couple has problem because of hearing neighbours and husband and wife's problems emerges.

  1. Actually in my opinion their problem did'nt occur by listening the neighbour's discussions, however the only impact of the radio is make the couple to realize their problems, probably existing for a long time
