Summary
From the very beginning we observe that the story is told from the
computer point of view.The main character of the story is Milton
Davidson.Milton is expert in computers.He understands more about computers than
anyone else.Milton has never married because he has never found the right
woman.One day Milton asks his computer to find his true love.The author gives a
detailed description of the way in which the computer selects the girls.From
this description we come to the idea that Milton is a capricious person.
He does not like any girl.he chooses the girls according to certain
criteria.Milton is a dishonest man.He had arranged the computer to do things.It
was not designed to do.No one knew about that.The computer even gives the
definition of manipulation:shifting people from job to job for personal reasons
is called manipulation.The girls visited Milton but he did not feel the true
love towards any of them,although he thought they were ideal.
They did not please him because they could not act in such a way as to
be his ideal.That means that Milton is a pretentious man because there are not
ideal persons in the world.Everybody makes mistakes.Milton is an ambitious
man.Although he was dissapointed in his search for a girl,he continued it.He
wanted his dream to become true.He is patient and does not lose his
temper.Milton wanted to find a girl who was personal,emotional and temperal fit
to him.In fact he wanted to find his second personality.
The suspense grows while looking for a girl.The reader is eager to find out
what will happen further.In fact he thinks that the computer is his best
friend,his second personality:talking to you,Joe,is almost like talking to
another self.Our personalities have to come to match perfectly.Exactly this
personality should have the girl Milton would choose.Finally,after such a hard
work,after many researches,they found the girl.Her name was Charity.
The girl wanted to come to Milton but at that moment the police arrested
him and he did not realize his dream.His friend,the computer,will teach her how
to take care of it.The computer would tell Charity that she was its true
love.The title of the story is bound with Milton/s dream,that is he wanted to
find his true love.He did not realize his wish and remained still
unhappy.Instead of this his friend,the computer,found its true love and was
happy.
The theme of the story is searching for tru love.The idea is that one
should not look for the perfect person because we all are human beings and
make,at least,some mistakes.Nobody is perfect in the world.Also her e we may
come to the idea that one should not do dishonest things because this leads to
a tragic ending.The language of the story is easy.
The author uses short sentences which are easy to understand.The
dialogue brings the reader nearer to the events of the story.I like this story
very much.From it I understood that it is not so easy to find the true love,the
person who will be your partner for the whole life.
