The need of being addicted to something effects sometimes the lives of the people in a bad way. In the daily world, all of us are under the control of media. The first thing we do when we come to home is to turn on the TV or radio. It is not just to learn some informations about the important events occurring all around the world, it is also because of our curiosity about the lives of others. Irene uses the radio to get some information about their neighbours, when she finds out that radio is broadcasting the voices of her neighbours. She gets curious and becoms addicted to it, because she doesn’t not hear just their voices, she hears “demonstrations of indigestion, carnal love, abysmal vanity, faith, and despair”. After the repairman comes and fixes the radio, she and her husband starts to argue. When they lost the connection between the media, the thing they are addicted to, they also start to live like the others. When we get rid of the radio, we left with the ‘reality’.
