Many novels in this genre tackle personal issues such as dating, relationships, weight issues, life issues and many more. Often told from a point of view that pulls the audience in as if the narrator is confiding in them, Chick Lit novels offer something to identify with, and a great percentage of the audience take comfort from this. I love the odd book to read that’s light and funny and easy going and I am one hundred per cent a sucker for a happy ending; everything that is beheld in a Chick Lit novel, but can we call it literature and is it really any good when compared to Authors such as Stephen King and
Irony is hard to understand, even for me. I have the basis for it, and with that knowledge, I think irony is great with stories. I like stories with irony in it because it throws everything off, and catches the reader off guard. It adds more wonder to the story, more anticipation, and makes everything that much better to read. I like to think of it as the " oh what the _ _ _ _!"
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?
This makes it a page turner, and in the end it is very satisfying, mainly because of the unexpected climax and ending. Though a well written story needs to have a specific audience, it is also essential that a story has suspense.
The symbolism of the holocaust is engaging as fairy-tales are always considered to have a happy ending but using such a dark topical matter which seems to have no happy outcomes is able to surprise the audience and to keep them reading as the audience is waiting to see the “Happily ever after” (pg. 239). Yolen has used topical/subject matter and intertextuality to great effect to produce a novel which is engaging and intriguing to the
However I enjoyed reading the book, because the main idea of”POWER OF THINKING WITHOUT THINKING” is very interesting and very different. I personally love such topics. With all his stories author has achieved his goal of educating his readers about the new way of thinking. I got learn many things from the book. Being in the hotel industry ill relate all of his examples and ideas in delighting my guests.
“‘I spend a lot of time at my desk groaning, wondering why on earth I'm putting myself through it. I spend a lot of time in a state of panic. But when writing goes well, it's marvelous.’” (Pevere 3). To me, this is the most interesting and thought-provoking excerpt in the article because it proves that much of writing is hard work. 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.
Unit one also taught me to reevaluate how important certain priorities when it came to writing. I learned from the other unit one authors, Joseph M. Williams and James E. Porter, that when an essay is read by someone who is looking for grammatical error or plagiarism instead of content, they will often find the error and ignore the content. Although I do still know the importance of grammar and originality, this class and the grading style has let me put those constructs in the back seat until the editing process, instead of making them something I had to constantly worry about. I don’t believe that good writing revolves around grammar, but rather how well your words can convey a message to the intended audiences.
Life of Willa Cather What would influence some authors to create the wonderful novels they make in their life? Is it how they eat, sleep, live, breath, or are they just simply gifted with the gift of literature.For the people who are fans of the writer Willa Cather it is pretty simple to see what influences her astute writings. Willa Cather’s writing reflects her life and the cultures that surrounded her. A few things that were affected the most by the influences were her many novels. Cather’s bold prose and detailed tales often worry the artistry and overture in her stories ( Pollard 81), but Cather's fiction has another layer to it than other writers, a great connotation of emotions which turns away from love dreams of character
They are also fun and a good way to waste time. I would say 95% of the time I visit the social networking sites on my phone instead of the computer. I use facebook to talk with people and share media such as videos and pictures with them and so other people can do the same with me. Usually most of the people I become friends with are people I meet at school or on sports
