What About Me

I chose the movie What About Bob to do a review on. The movie stars Bill Murray portraying Bob Wiley, that I will write about later on in the paper. Bob Wiley has an array of psychological problems that are shown through actions and inactions, which is where another character comes into play, his psychologist Dr. Marvin. In the movie, Dr. Marvin is played by Richard Dreyfuss, who has an appointment with Bob Wiley prior to leaving for vacation.

I stare at the blank screen in front of me, with the words “Hi, I am Bishwa.” Unsure of what to do next. Unsure of what words that will follow. Getting someone else to know about me is harder than I thought. But then I look around myself – around my drawers, closet, my desk, my bed. All of them are in a particular condition. And I begin to wonder. What do these things say about me? So rather than telling about myself, I’ll save myself the trouble and describe these things. My desktop screen.…

What was so different about me? Why did they just ignore me? I should feel spared but I’m just baffled with curiosity. I just need to run away from here. No matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to stop wondering. As I was running, I stumbled upon an abandoned house and decided I needed to sit and relax for a while.
