What makes a good book?
Everybody likes different books, but what we don't realize is that no matter what book we have, there is one common feeling in all of them; anger. When reading a book, you will always feel anger, whether it's anger towards the antagonist, or anger that just wells up inside of you when it does in the characters of your book. So no matter what we read; a tragedy, mystery, or an action packed book, there is always going to be anger. This goes to show that no matter what we read we're all pretty much reading the same books. In every book there is not only anger, but there is resentment and happiness. Books also have a evil character, a character that does not seem good but isn't quite evil, and your head protagonist. So what makes a good book? I think the question now is "Why do people say that they don't like a certain kind of book if in reality, there all the same?"

And now for a quote, kind of:
ReplyDeleteTo read or not to read, for that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to stick to one kind of book without trying another, or the suffer because you didn't read that other book. To read, to watch tv, perhaps to dream. But in that sleep where ther are visons of your favorite channels in your head, what dreams may come?
Hi Judy (and Cindy if you're still there) - so great to hear from and about you. I am sorry that neither of you will be at the reunion; I had a short list of people I really wanted to see, hug, talk to....and you were both on that list.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, writing will have to make do. My e-mail is meredyth@together.net and I am also on Facebook.
Thank you for the kind words and I am so glad to hear that you have both done well in having careers as well as families.
I miss you both. I know I was a pain in HS but I did look up to and value you both for your strengths, guidance, and friendship.
