  • Isabella Swan, And Stephenie Meyer's 'Twilight'

    813 Words  | 2 Pages

    Stephenie Meyer released one of the best books I have ever read in 2005 called “Twilight.” Although this book was viewed as a typical love story, it set an example of a perfect couple to me as a reader. Throughout the book, the two main characters were Isabella Swan (Bella) and Edward Cullen. As the book began it sets a feeling of displeasure or disgust that Bella seemed to have thought Edward had for her, but as the story went on his feelings were different than she thought. He was definitely obsessed with Bella. In the book “Twilight”, Bella and Edward differ greatly based on experience, stability, and being unshakable.

    The 1930 's were a conflicting time for race relations in America. Despite the decline of such organizations as the Ku Klux Klan, which had renewed support during the 1910 's and 1920 's, racism was as strong as ever in the Southern states. Literature at this time was affected as authors included the clear distinction within the social class relating to skin color. Authors such as Richard Wright and Zora Neale Hurston published credible novels containing African prejudice at the time. Another American author, William Faulkner born in 1897, finished writing his novel Light in August. A story dealing with issues such as racism, and social class in the heart of Mississippi in 1932. Other works of his including The Sound and the Fury and Absalom, Absalom! include the clear African prejudice due to the character’s beliefs, Southern setting, and current segregation time period. In the novel Light in August, William Faulkner demonstrates the struggle to find self-identity within the characters while exploring the idea of racism.

    The beginning of this book puzzles the reader. It doesn't clearly state the setting and plot in the first chapter; it almost leaves the mood open to how the reader interprets it. In the romance story The Notebook, by Nicholas Sparks, the plot then shifts from a nursing home to a small town -- New Bern, North Carolina. It baffles the reader so much that it urges one to read on. The romance of Noah and Allie in this book is so deep and complex that it will bring a tear to the eye of any reader.

    According to professor Vladimir Nabokov, one of the most important qualities of a good reader is having an imagination (Nabokov 3). This is a quality is not only useful for readers, but also for those who are involved with publications, such as my involvement with yearbook. The yearbook programs is such that you are assigned a specific topic, whether it be sports or activities, and based off the research and information gathered, the writer compiles three different components to tell the story of that specific assignment. Through this structure the writer has to be creative and imagine what their topic should be, and how to structure the story based on this. Although this was my role of the staff last year, this year I am a design editor, a

  • To What Writer would you award a prize?

    607 Words  | 2 Pages

    If you were in charge of giving a prize to a writer, what would the prize be for and to whom would you give it? This topic is quite difficult for me to write about, mainly because I have such a passion for a variety of authors. I enjoy reading almost any genre and will give any book a chance. The award I have created for English literature is the Cowell Literary Award. This award is generally categorized for books that are a part of the crime/thriller genre. Dan Brown deserves to win the Cowell Literary Award because his style of writing is unique, his books make you question the American government, and a few of his novels will make you think deeply about our country’s history. Throughout The Da Vinci Code, and The Lost Symbol, Brown shows his true capability through writing intense, eye opening novels.
