Recommended: Gender roles of women in literature

I have never written a book review before so this is going to be little difficult. But I really would like to share my two cents. Does not marriage binds two people together for good or worse. Well, here these two are having normal setbacks like losing the job, money issues, family problems like illness or disability and does not agree with each other opinions. However, they don't want voice it to each other instead they think the other person should understand them somehow. It's confusing I know. Gone Girl is truly unbelievable. when you thought you know what's gonna happen next but it takes u-turn from nowhere. You are left hanging with no thread. Truly, this story is about people who are sociopath and narcissist. They are actually made for

  • Analysis Of John Jakes's 'The Bastard'

    992 Words  | 2 Pages

    I feel like the novel gave me a good, accurate insight of what it would have been like to be a fly on the wall in those secret meetings. The novel captures a good picture of what it may have been like to be a member of royalty or a simple commoner trying to make a change. Most of the political figures/groups in the novel were given distinct personality traits that made the reader aware of how important status and power were to those who lived in the 1700s. I also enjoyed characters like Benjamin Franklin and Sam Adams- to me, they were portrayed very accurately and both of their characters possessed most of the same qualities that they had in real-life. In the novel, for example, Franklin is (accurately) represented as a creator, a womanizer, and- most importantly- a

  • Flannery O'Connor and William Faulkner's Characters and Morality

    934 Words  | 2 Pages

    Flannery O’Connor and William Faulkner refuse to surrender to the temptation of writing fanciful stories where the hero defeats the villain and everyone lives happily ever after. Instead, these two writers reveal realistic portrayals of death and the downfall of man. Remarkably, O’Connor and Faulkner’s most emotionally degraded characters fail to believe that an omnipotent deity controls their fate. This belief directly correlates to the characters’ inability to follow a strict set of morals or value human life. On the other hand, one might expect Faulkner and O’Connor’s “Christian” characters to starkly contrast the vile heathens who deny the existence of God. However, these characters struggle to follow their own standards of morality.

  • Critical Reviews of Brave New World

    752 Words  | 2 Pages

    My first review is a negative one. In the review the reviewer states as his main reasons for disliking the book are the obnoxious characters and plot holes. A few examples of this are that Bernard Marx is unhappy with his life and wants to expand his mind yet all he does is take random vacations to the Savage Reservation. The author of the review compares this to saying, “I’m having a bout with depression. I’m going to Iran,” then jumping on a plane and going. It just doesn’t seem to make sense. The author believes that there are many other more exciting plot possibilities if Bernard just stays home and actually does something. Also, the circumstances surrounding Linda annoyed the author of this review also. He feels Linda is obnoxious and feels that the savages would have either gotten her out of the reser...

  • Summary and Reflection of Both Sides Of Time by Caroline B. Cooney

    1062 Words  | 3 Pages

    My overall opinion of this book was outstanding. The book was very detailed that I could almost picture the events happening in my head. I felt for Annie though, she had many tough decisions to make throughout the book. Especially telling her mother that her dad had been cheating on her and bad boy Sean not be there for her or show affection towards her. This book should actually be made into a movie. It has the potential to be made into an interesting one because of all the twisted events occurring throughout the story. Who doesn’t like a romantic yet mysterious time-traveling adventure? The director just needs the right people to put into it and they’d be all set.

  • The Misfit and the Grandmother in Flannery O’ Connor's "A Good Man is Hard to Find"

    941 Words  | 2 Pages

    “A Good Man is hard to find,” a short story written by Flannery O’ Connor, is one of the most interesting stories I’ve ever come across to in my life. Born as an only child into a Catholic family, O’ Conner is one of the most “greatest fiction writers and one of the strongest apologists for Roman Catholicism in the twentieth century (New Georgia Encyclopedia).” She was a very strong believer in her faith and she used her stories as a tool to send the reader a message that were most likely ignored and almost never uttered out loud. The story revolves around a grandmother who believes to be high and mighty around others. This results in her downfall later on.

    For example I didn’t like when Gilbert took a major turn in his life. I can’t say much, unless I give away like the entire movie. Gilbert takes a turn in his life right before Becky teaches him that the most important things in life are family, love, and loyalty. That was like the worst thing that happened in this movie, the best thing is probably Becky. Becky is the best thing that happened in this movie because she had like the best relationship with Gilbert and Arnie. Honestly it was kind of cute… Becky's relationship with Arnie is kind of like the relationship only certain people would have with their siblings. Becky, Gilbert and Arnie all have a relationship that isn’t forgettable. When you see people on the street with this kind of relationship, you’ll

    If you were reading a novel where a young girl married a young man, it would be fairly boring and mind-numbing. Now suppose that girl’s father had be in prison for eighteen years and separated from his young baby girl and wife. Five years before that young girl got married, her father was found and recalled to life. And then come to find out that the young man that she is marrying just so happens to be the nephew of the wicked and selfish Marquis, who was responsible for imprisoning her father. The story is now much more complex and it is worth reading. The characters are all connected in some way, unbeknown to them. Each of these characters caused huge changes in another one of their lives, some for the better and some for the worse.

  • Family Friendly Church Book Summary

    1113 Words  | 3 Pages

    A small part that stuck out to me that I kind of disliked was how Ben described the church as his mistress at the beginning of chapter one. Not my favorite word choice, but I did not completely dislike it because I saw where he was coming from when making this point. Also, after hearing other people’s opinions on the book this part was something that many people complained about which could have swayed my opinion on it. Ben makes many points throughout the book that gets the reader thinking and he does not force his views on the readers; he simply gives his findings for what he researched and how he applied it to his personal life and work life. I did not like some of the decisions he made in his life, but it was those decisions that lead him to do his research and better his life for. I did not like the decisions because they were choices I would not have made, but he is not me and I am not him. If he had not made the choices he did, the research he had collected would not

    This week I have watched Silver Linings Playbook. I love this movie. It is my absolute most favorite movie that I have ever watched. In my opinion it is a very funny and romantic movie. I have seen this movie before I had watched it with my class. I did not expect such explicit language. I also didn’t expect Pat, the main character, to go on about Nicki for so long. I also did not expect for Pat and Tiffany to get together in the end, since he was going on about Nicki for the whole movie. I did not read any reviews about this movie before I had watched it for the first time. I don’t like reading reviews on movies, because there could be a spoiler alert in them. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who hasn’t seen it. This is a really

  • The Ambiguous Line Between Right and Wrong in My Sister's Keeperby Jodi Picoult

    833 Words  | 2 Pages

    There is an ambiguous line between right and wrong that can cause difficulty when making decisions. Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper demonstrates the grey area between right and wrong through a family's struggle with ethics. First, Anna's character struggles to do what is right while keeping the consequences of her actions in mind. Second, Sara's conflict with society shows how problematic it can be to do what seems right for one's family. Finally, the symbolism of stars and dark matter depicts how natural it can be to overlook what is unjust and only see what is right. Through Anna's character, Sara's conflict with society, and the symbolism of stars and dark matter, Picoult's My Sister's Keeper suggests that in order to do what is right, one may have to do what is perceived as wrong.
