I wasn’t really bored at all, through the book. I really liked the character, setting, storyline, and diction. There were few things I didn’t like. I didn’t like the length and the beginning. I think that Knowles’ should have made it longer.
This is definitely a book that I would recommend. It’s full of real life stories that many people can relate to and lets you know that it’s okay for you to laugh at the negative in life. This book is a must read that will keep you laughing! Don’t say I didn’t warn
John Steinbeck made the plot interesting and the themes behind the work were truly brilliant. The book had its points were they were very descriptive but didn’t keep me interested enough. Reading through those boring parts is completely worth it though. Steinbeck makes the book easy to understand and i like that quality a lot about this book. In my opinion, I got the idea that this book was written more for the workings of the mind but at the same time Steinbeck wanted to make you feel something as you read this.
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.
Also, I am someone who is involved in education and research and I think that it is amazing how learning to read is said to be a talent that it potentially impossible. Furthermore, it is very fascinating that the process of reading is actually a result of a tug-of-war between the material being read and the student, and hopefully there will be comprehension in the results from the material that is read. Additionally, the text maybe made up of phrases and characters in which will have a certain meaning. I have enjoyed this wonderful experience that I encountered while being in the classroom with wonderful students. I can honestly say that the teacher in the classroom did a great job with her students and I will be walking away with a bunch of awesome strategies and resources to take back to my own classroom to help with teaching reading and language arts.
Sample paragraph 1 template: There are many different types of people in the world; some are here to do good, be good, and enjoy life. Others are indifferent to making the world a better place. It is the caring and selfless people who deserve and receive the most admiration, the ones who are here to enjoy life and make others' lives better. These admirable people are also the memorable characters in the best novels. They have their share of challenges and sometimes falter.
Learning to accept the opinions of others as well as well as accepting the differences we have will help to foster the climate of acceptance. Learning and knowing that if The creator of heaven and earth wanted all of us to be the same than he would have made us all that way, then we will have a greater appreciate for the work of art he crafted to make us different. Having a lot more history days instead of certain months to learn about certain races should be a start. We need to learn and educate on all the variety of cultures we have then we can at least start the cycle to have a “post racial”
I think this is a good novel and I like it so far, even though it has many foreign languages, like French, Japanese, it still makes the story good. And the speed goes well. It is an interesting concept that looks at the world of publishing as well as the world of self-help.The story is very realistic, it brings up several questions and it is an enjoyable read. It shows people what would happen in the event that a self-help book about finding happiness would really work. I especially like this quote from the book, “ The two most important phrases in the human language are ‘ If only’ and ‘Maybe someday’.

I love well written books that I can visualize with as I am reading. I love an author that can use words and phrases to keep me guessing throughout the book, it gives me the urge to want to know what is going to happen next.

I love a story that is very detailed because it gives me the chance to place myself in the story and really get into it.
The author found several tips for note taking for read/write that would be beneficial such as rewriting notes into outline form or lists, rereading notes, and organizing lists into multiple choice questions for studying.
