The Trial

Author: Franz Kafka Publication Date: April 1925
2026-01-10 1 min read Sincheenz
It was confusing. I was confused when I read Kafka’s first book, Metamorphosis. I did not know what to make of it. The writing style was very interesting, and even though I thought I should quit reading it, I still had this urge to continue. The same thing happened with The Trial.

Uncultured: A Memoir

Author: Daniella Mestyanek Young Publication Date: September 2022
2025-11-21 2 min read Sincheenz
The question I had to ask throughout the book: Why? Why and why? Why would adults do this to themselves and their children? Why would women willingly submit themselves to men and live a life that is so belittling, and why would they make other women do the same? And why does this happen in today’s age, when there is so much more awareness… or why is this happening in the so-called, Western, developed countries? Continue reading
