PRAGMATIC TASK
The story of Reach is about Rachika, a woman who is stuck in her own depressed thoughts. She
feels anxious about everything and also suffers from extremely low self-confidence. She can be
seen thinking about how she is miserable and that she cannot do anything right. She had to give a
presentation but she could not because all Rachika could think about is of the opinions of others
in the room. She cries in the bathroom in the end, and finally breaking down. She has low self
esteem that makes her always worry about almost everything. She was sexually abused by a
molester when she was a child. That is why she really wants to end her life.
We must sacrifice ourself in order to save someone we love. Because in the end, family will
always be the first to help us in every situation, through ups and down.
