Curse Of The Bridal Chamber Summary
If you can imagine the actors of “Beverly Hillbillies” on a mystery show, then you come close to what you would find in “Curse of the Bridal Chamber” review. The book follows a family on a vacation to see mermaids, but end up mixed in a mystery involving a floating dead body and a lot of angry mermaids, (Yes, I said mermaids). There is a lot of humor, chase scenes, fight scenes, family, and relationship drama and (of course) plot twists.

It was a very interesting ride.

At first, though, I thought the book was a satire with a mystery theme (especially with a bulldog in a carriage), but at its heart, there is a deeper, unexpected, story about finding love in unexpected places. That story began to unwind itself with Peter Luce and continued

    I liked this novel very much because it shows how precious life is, and that drinking and driving is NEVER a good idea. The story makes me realize that with maturity, comes difficult choices, and you must always be wise. Things like this happen every day and people always think, “Oh it won’t happen to me,” but you never know. I would recommend this book to my friends because I think the story line would influence their choices greatly. I think it would give them a better perspective on making good…

    While touring the Eiteljorg Museum I noticed several themes in which the art by non-native people related to that of the natives. One such theme that I would like to focus on, is the view of marriage and degradation of native women as viewed by both natives and non-natives. Three pieces in particular that I want to focus on are Bartering for a Bride (The Trapper’s Bride) 1845 by Alfred Jacob Miller, Dress 1890 by an unnamed Crow artist, and Retracing the Trace 2011-2015 by Luzene Hill.…

    "Stand up for what you believe in, even if it means standing alone." Andy Biersack was born December 26, 1990. He is the vocalist and main lyricist for Black Veil Brides. Black Veil Brides is an American Rock band, created by Andy Biersack in 2006. The name Black Veil Brides is a Roman Catholic term for when a woman marries into the church and gives up all the pleasures of life to, devote her life to God.

    The book “A Prayer for Owen Meany, “written by John Irving is an extraordinary and original book. I believe he chose that title mainly because one of the main characters that the book basically was written for past away. This title was chosen to give the reader a good understanding of what they are going to read about when they read this book. The authors name is John Irving, he was born in Exeter, New Hampshire in 1942.…

    I didn’t find this book interesting at all, there were not enough details, and there were not very many interesting moments that kept me hooked to the story like other books have. The story could have more details and more events that could have interested me more, I won’t remember this book like I have with others in the…

    This book was very different than anything I have ever read. I am still deciding whether I liked it or not. It was hard for me to follow because it kept jumping back in forth in time. The first three chapters I hap kept re-reading to focus and grasp what was going on. I was extremely confused and it went from the opening scene in 1931 to Milkman being four years old in one paragraph. I do feel this is a book you need to read over and over again to fully gain an understanding of the messages and symbols the author was displaying through each character. I thought the book was interesting that although it dealt with racial issues and focused on how characters such as Guitar and Milkman had different views of status and discrimination, their was very little mention of white characters in the book. The majority if not all the characters were black decent and it was purely one sided view on how the black race dealt with racial issues in a small town at that time. I think Pilate was a crazy character and I didn't like how long it dragged out to find the true nature of why her relationship was the way it was with her brother Macon Dead Jr. I feel like the author was changing the subject and jumping around so much that you never fully get to know any one character. I didn't like how the author killed Milkman in the end, it was as if you finally made some self discovery and then he jumps to his death. The book just builds and layers and builds, and when you finally feel like you might understand where it's leading three of the main characters die within the last pages. Aside from racial views and Milkmans self discovery from his life as his fathers son, to discovering his family history and where he wants to be in the future, I didn't really connect with any other character in the book, or understand their significance in his discovering…

    I enjoyed the book. I usually don’t like to read but this book had me wanting to read. I like how the story had many twists and turns. There was no time where I knew what was going to happen next. My favorite part of the book was probably when Milo and Jacob were in the smoke shop and found the secret box. This was my favorite part because it…

    From the very first sentence in this book, I was hooked. The word choice in this sentence is superb, the vocabulary transports me to another world that could only exist centuries ago. It made me feel like I am on this journey with him verses the one reading the letter. I wanted to know about his risky endeavors that his family was worried about. Not only that but I wanted to live this journey with him. I wanted to keep reading because he seems relieved to inform his sister that everything is going well and she was wrong. But knowing how books go, I'm sure that will change.…

    Often written for children, traditional fairytales are fictitious works with magical qualities. However, “The Bloody Chamber” by Angela Carter and The Princess Bride by William Goldman, are no traditional fairytales. Although both poses the fictitious qualities and traits of traditional fairytales, neither work can be considered as being written for children. The use of violence in sex, pornographic imagery, and the objectification of women show that the stories are intended for mature readers.…

    The characters of the story were successfully described by the book. Sam a certain widower who unconditionally loved his wife and his only son. Jamie, Sam’s beloved son and Mel, Sam’s sister. Three individuals that had been frequent on every part of the story and together they conquer life problems. The story would affect whoever reads it especially those father and son. I came to like this book because of its unique concept and story. Well it’s not only about the realization of how awful and bad Bullying was, but it also told the love of father to his son. The distance that He might go just for his sake. When I first saw it on a bookstore’s bookshelf, I got hooked up with its front cover for the graphic representation drawn was good and eye-catching. But then, it wasn’t the cover that had always mattered. When I looked and read the backcover where the teaser and summary are written, I only then decided to take it. With its hanging question below the Title “How far would you go to protect…

    First off, this poem is an effective piece of literature because it makes you use your brain. This poem makes you want to ask questions like: Why did Robert fall in love with a mannequin? He has a girlfriend, isn’t she enough? Does he slap the mannequin because Laura cheated on him? Does the love for the mannequin relate to the death of his parents? What is his mentality on what love is? All these questions arise and put you in a quandary. There is just so much to consider and reason with. It is powerful and very meaningful. Books and other writings that make you really think on the story behind it shows how well of an author they are. It gets you hooked into the story and makes want to keep on reading and reading. In the case of Robert, the way he brings up his parents at the end gives me the idea that it could be a psychological thing where the image of his parents’ death came back to him when he saw Stella dead on the floor.…
