This story was very odd but was a good book. The fiction of this story is tied to reality in a very unique way, that is very effective in making the story not feel very fantasy. This feature made the book truly more enjoyable. Other writing techniques like not having any foreshadowing. The book keeps you guessing until the very end. Even within the story parts that I had never seen coming, Like releasing the prince. Allowing Alix to run away and eventually return on curiosity.…

2. I find it hard to believe that so many unique situations occurred in what the book seems to portray as a one day’s work. I do not necessarily think the characters are not real and believable, but some of the stories seem way out of ordinary. I can relate mostly to all of the terminal patients with cancer, as I see many of these patients working in the recovery room. It is not uncommon to receive patients from the operating room that were open and closed because there was not much that could be done for them.…
Max and Rudy were two characters I could feel connected to. Rudy was quite persistent asking Liesel for a kiss. I found it really crushingly beautiful how Liesel gave him a goodbye kiss after Death came for him. This book was to a large degree gloomy. The parts that to me had a positive feel were when Liesel and Hans would read together. The two of them had a heartwarming relationship. Rosa and Hans were so vastly different, both cared deeply they just had different ideas on how show…
If Thomas has a surprise during class, such as his favourite teacher walks in the room or if they asked someone to come in that all the children liked. Thomas facial expression would change as his mood had changed for example, he would raise eyebrow, wide open eyes, and open mouth to show that he is surprised. However, if Thomas wants to happy that someone he didn’t like walking into the room his face would also change to maybe these, the Inner corners of the eyebrows are drawn in and upwards, frowning of lips, pouting of lower lip, and eyes cast down. These are some example of facial expressions.…
The relationship of Hans and Liesel blooms into a thriving friendship, and the relationship of Liesel and Max provides the ability to survive in a crisis. Without words, there would be little connection between Max, Liesel, and Hans. The novel ultimately proves the saving power of words and of reading and is the story of friendship, love, survival, grief, and…

During persuasive writing pieces authors try to make you see their point of view as valid. Often times during this process, their writing is compromised by the errors they make to prove their point. David Thomas makes many errors in his essay "The Mind of a Man." In his thesis he tries to prove that women are not smarter than men as previously believed, but instead that they just excel at different tasks. However, throughout his whole essay, he describes that boys are discouraged by female teachers and does not stick to his thesis. He showed a biased point of view that he supported with only anecdotal evidence and studies that contained no numbers or statistics. Also, his use of emotion in his essay showed his anger towards others views that…
First of all, his book includes various examples of symbolism, poems, biblical, weather events, quest, political, and many more examples that change the meaning of the story. Without me reading this book I would have never stopped to think what’s the quest of the story, what does this event mean, is there a biblical reference and many more questions. This book has now taught me to look out for certain things to help me effectively read a book better than I did before reading How to Read Literature like a Literature. After reading this book and moving on to another novel allowed me to see the double meaning of the text. In where as if I hadn’t read the book by Thomas C. Foster I wouldn’t have stopped to think and take much consideration to the story. Additionally, this book made it clear to me that there is only one story and one story only. How could that be? Sounds unbelievable right but it right. The same story is repeated but with a new setting, different character names, different conflicts but still the same meaning and maybe the same ending. If it weren’t for this great novel I would have missed out on all the interesting parts of the story and there meaning. All in all, this book allowed me to gain so much knowledge on how to effectively read a…
He began his new life standing up, surrounded by cold darkness and stale, dusty air. Metal ground against metal; a lurching shudder shook the floor beneath him. He fell down at the sudden movement and shuffled backward on his hands and feet, drops of sweat beading on his forehead despite the cool air. His back struck a hard metal wall; he slid along it until he hit the corner of the room. Sinking to the floor, he pulled his legs up tight against his body, hoping his eyes would soon adjust to the darkness. With another jolt, the room jerked upward like an old lift in a mine shaft. Harsh sounds of chains and pulleys, like the workings of an ancient steel factory, echoed through the room, bouncing off the walls with a hollow, tinny whine. The lightless elevator swayed back and forth as it ascended, turning the boy’s stomach sour with nausea; a smell like burnt oil invaded his senses, making him feel worse. He wanted to cry, but no tears came; he could only sit there, alone, waiting. My name is Thomas, he thought. That … that was the only thing he could remember about his life. He didn’t understand how this could be possible. His mind functioned without flaw, trying to calculate his surroundings and predicament. Knowledge flooded his thoughts, facts and images, memories and details of the world and how it works. He pictured snow on trees, running down a leaf-strewn road, eating a hamburger, the moon casting a pale glow on a grassy meadow, swimming in a lake, a busy city square with hundreds of people bustling about their business.…
In the first few pages I found myself so caught up with the character development that I quickly lost sight of the big picture. I mean how could I be expected to believe that any one person could accurately describe an entire management team with such accuracy. Richard Thompkins’ descriptions and predictions were almost humorous. His intuition into his co-workers was uncanny. From their personal relationships to the weaknesses in one fail swoop. I wanted to meet Richard myself. As the story developed I later appreciated the lack of filler material as the characters were introduced and it also made for a quick refresher when I was trying to predict who was going to be effected next by Brent’s plans.…
I find your book to be very well written with great passion and creativity from your side. From the very beginning I found it hard to put the book away and the further I read the better it became. With a great story line and its detailed descriptions in every moment it resulted in a dramatic and enthralling adventure. Furthermore the main characters were all very special and I got really attached to all 3 of them. I find it that your descriptions and their personalities made it more realistic and made the story so much better. However the one that got to me the most has to be Kahlan with her stunning personality and with her big secret that she is keeping and the struggles that it impales her with just makes her so much more interesting and fun to follow throughout the book. Even though Richard is the hero of the book I still fin Kahlan and the position she have got herself into and the way she handles it to be more interesting. The book as a whole is one of the best books I have ever read and probably will ever read. And I believe that all the time you spent on this book was time well spent and I hope you feel the same way.…
