ABSTRACT

Today, college students promote self development without recognizing the importance of community. They are experiencing the destructiveness of personality. A fiction that draws the conflictual relationship with the basic aims of community life can be a tool used in raising students awareness on the importance of community life and seeking a community to have experiences with a true life. First, the fiction shows an organic community life seeking a holistic life. The organic community refers to a space with the totality of life. This space shows a fateful connection between myself and other. Second, the fiction shows the communication community of hetero geneous existences. Communication enables individual to recognize the difference between you and myself not together and seeks a confidentiality by a word, and , ultimately creating community among the different existences spontaneously. Third, the fiction shows being together by sharing the existence, which is the ultimate goal of community. Being together considers human finitude, death as a principle of community; however, death makes impossible unity of unshared people feasible. Students who read the fiction will create the above mentioned sympathy and realize the importance of community life.
