Through George’s wall of condescension and sarcasm you find out that there is deep love for Lennie within him. George spends a majority of the novel cleaning up Lennie’s “messes” and scheming for a better future for the two. Truthfully Lennie is the jewel of the crown with characterization. His child-like demeanor and actions provide amusing situations which help you to connect with him. Soon you begin to understand the gravity of his disabilities, and you worry for his well- being as he has a hard time taking care of himself.
In the main character, Dennis’s voice. To my opinion I really enjoyed the novel I have read. Pete Hauntman is way of writing really catches your intention, and keeps me on the edge of me seat. Though I wished he included more ways for the character to overcome his addiction. Hautman's writing style is quite straight-forward, occasionally humorous, and attention-grabbing.
But other than that I have really loved this book mainly because of the mystery behind the story. I couldn’t let the book down since I started reading it. It puts you at the edge of your seat which made me love it so much. I would rate this book a 10 out of 10. I also liked one quote from this novel “That’s what being crazy was, wasn’t it?

Gladwell is a great story teller. All of his examples are in a story form. All his stories have the same meaning. It’s a great book to start with but at the end it is quite boring. There should have been some graphical representations in the book.
Let’s begin with the ingenious use of three different dialects; although it confuses readers, even me, it’s easy to get the hang of. It’s a commendable act to write an entire book in that type of format. Not only is it praiseworthy but as well as educational. It shows how people communicated back then, and that we've come a long way in terms of speech, mannerisms and most certainly grammar. Now onto a new topic, the abundance of morals to find.
H.M Tomlinson once said, “The right good book is always a book about travel, it is about a life’s journey”. Tomlinson means that the best types of books are the books about a life’s journey, both in which character mature and gain valuable insight to allow them to complete their travels. The epic The Odyssey by Homer and the novel The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd are both quite popular for this reason. Good books come in a variety of styles and plots; some of them are bildungsromans, others are made for comical reasons. However the best of them all are the books focus on a protagonist’s journey to become a better person.
There is no doubt that one of the most important literary elements in a work is characterization: The creation of a group of personalities who function as representatives of a fictional world are as vital to a novel's story as its many themes. For Twain, the challenge was to embody fictional characters with realistic traits and personalities; that is, his characters had to be as believable and as recognizable as the people readers confronted every day. To accomplish this feat, Twain frequently called upon his childhood experiences to create some of the most memorable characters in American literature. The expanse of characters that blanket the pages of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn are numerous. Certainly Huck is an incredible character study, with his literal and pragmatic approach to his surroundings and his constant battle with his conscience.
I believe that The Great Gatsby was the most influential of the two books that we were to read. My reasoning behind this is simple: both the future and the past cannot be changed, but at least from the past, lessons can be learned. Although the future that Anthem lays on the table is intriguing, the way that F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel weaves together the perks and flaws of human nature as it correlates to the turbulent 1920s in America, is fantastic. The main characters of The Great Gatsby are interesting and complex. First, there is Nick Carraway, who is both involved in and narrates the story.
And Benjamin Franklin that in his book Franklin included both important and useless information. Franklin predicted temperatures, told tales, included some of his favorite quotes, and had many fun facts published in this book. This is one of Franklin’s most famous quotes . “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.' (Perkins) This saying shows Franklins intelligence on time management.
