These words are also very encouraging and eye-opening to me because I used to think the emotions described were a sign that I was not truly a writer. It is refreshing and comforting to know that even a successful novelist such as Waters experiences the doubt, fear, and strain that I feel when writing. This statement discredits the idea that writing is always fun and free-flowing. I feel like I can now, after reading this, write with a little more confidence because I know there are others out there—groaning, wondering, and panicking—just like
And I would say “Yes mam I’m reading,” as I was staring at the pictures pretending as if I am reading. Pretending to read pretty much was the story of my childhood when it came to reading. But as progressed to higher levels of reading, there was this activity called reading comprehension. That is when my hatred towards reading increased enormously. It was in eighth grade when I decided I needed to learn how to read.
Not all Novels should be Clear In many causes while reading certain novels and stories you might wonder why some stories have so much changing to them Or why so much back and forward amongst each of the stories? Many of these things may happen not because the author is trying to confuse the reader instead because the author is trying to give the reader a better understanding of many stories through different perspectives. Throughout this essay you will learn about how a great author Junot Diaz portrays this sort of writing style. Through Diaz’s writing in Drown we were able to see how the lack of chorological order made things shift around a bit for the reader, for instance the book began with the story Ysrael. A story that gave us the reader
Christopher Boone is definitely a unique child. He always seems to surprise others with his personality. There are many moments in his life that are rather ludicrous, and although some of his traits cause him difficulty, there are some that help him in the long-run. Christopher Boone is an autistic child with superior math skills and the need to always tell the truth. Christopher gets into many diverse situations, and these result in the captured interest of the readers of The Mysterious Case of the Dog in the Nighttime.
I like to think of it as the " oh what the _ _ _ _!" factor (all those reading, theres more than one word to put into those blanks! =P) Its something you don't expect to happen, and it makes you want to keep reading, because now everything has just changed. Whatever the reader had in mind, it's all out the window because now something new just came up. I like surprises in books, much more enjoyable to
Without a plot, you don't have a story but merely a random series of events. Characters are important to me because I find you can often relate to them, making me feel more engaged in reading the book. The setting of a story helps the reader visualize what is going on and better connects the person with the story. As you read on, I will go into more detail as to why the above reasons are important in a short story. The plot is a nontrivial task that gets me caught up, wanting to keep turning the pages and reading on.
All these characters fit into the hero journey pattern. Like any hero the cycle begins at an unusual birth and childhood, a hero’s birth is often mysterious or there is something that makes them different from society. Christopher was born with a mild form of autism called Asperger’s syndrome. This makes him different from other children. He is unable to socially interact with people but has a gift in mathematics.
Sometimes the characters can change completely and it turns out they are nothing like they seemed throughout the entire story. This is what Beerbohm and Saki do to throw in a big twist at the end. They make the reader trust the characters and then feel dumbfounded at first after getting to the end of the story. It is best to be questioning the characters while reading a story. Every detail about a character is there for a good reason.
Innocence vs. Awareness Throughout All The King’s Men, there is a constant struggle between innocence and awareness. For a reader to fully understand the novel one must acknowledge this struggle, for it is integral to the transformations of several major characters and the development of the novel itself. In the book, there are many cases where ignorance does prove to be bliss. However, there are also quite a few instances where awareness helps to empower a character.
Rebecca Laessig My Life as a Writer I don't consider myself to be the greatest writer. My grammar has a lot to be improved upon and I always seem to be at a loss for words. with that said, writing is a bit of a challenge for me. I don't hate writing, but I don't necessarily enjoy it either. in my paper, I will write about my accomplishments, routine writings, and major strengths and how they help develop my writing skills today.
