﹝Reaction﹞
 
      Love makes everyone blind. You cannot differentiate what is good or what is harm to you. Like the writer in the story. Although she came from a complete family, she still fell in love with Martin, who's background was so complicated. She just attracted by his appearance and could not tell whether his doings is legal or not. The only thing that she could do is to obey.
      As far as the writer are concerned, we may think that she is really foolish. 
Having faced with so many tough and risky time with him, and why doesn't she choose to leave. Why she still chooses to stay with him and ravage her life? However, we are not the writer. We even don't know how she view with her  boyfriend. Maybe she thinks that he will finally back to the right track someday.
We cannot make decision for anyone, for everyone has their own choices.
