Juan Rulfo’s “No Dogs Bark”

This story by Juan Rulfo - "No Dogs Bark" - is simple and short, but it should not let you fool you. Like great music and abstract paintings, most of what you get from reading Rulfo's works depends on what you bring it with.

For a better understanding of Rulfo and a deeper understanding of its work, I strongly urge you to read the following link information.

The theme of this short story is in the life of all of us. Juan Rulfo caught human defects not only through the hero Juvencio but also through his son Justino and the colonel. Luffo's attention to flaws is also the theme of the story, what we are doing, the importance and desire for what we do not have. The most interesting examples are Justino and Colonel. Because Juvencio killed him, the colonel did not grow with his father. After his father was murdered he pursued Juvencio for several years. He is still mad because he was deprived of his father in his life. I think he is willing to do anything to retaliate against what he has taken from him. He did not really know his father, but he hoped to retaliate against his death, but he can not stop. Meanwhile, Justino grew up with his father. But when his father asked Justino to save his life, he answered calmly.

When I was a high school student, our literary teacher assigned us to read Juan Rulfo's PedroPáramo and The Burning Plain. She also promises to talk about him throughout the class. At that time I did not mind and I was not interested in reading Juan Rulfo's work. I hardly know that this book has had a big impact on me after 10 years. There is little memory of that class in my memory. I just imitated some ghostly ideas and deserts. It is not my fault but my fault. I do not want to admit it, but I am not an excellent student. I did not pay attention during school, I will skip the class and worry about my relationship with my friends. I did not know that things will change in my last high school days, and I feel enthusiasm for writing. The content of this book is as important as my life. Like a high school student. It existed there for several years and then disappeared
