Raymond And Trudy Book Cover Analysis
Raymond and Trudy was an amazing book that I would read again but I would like to address one thing. The cover. No the cover is not a representation of what is inside of the book but let’s be honest, a lot of people do judge a book by its cover. The cover, to be frank, is TERRIBLE. Whoever made the cover for your book is terrible at their job. The cover is blurry and plain. Even if you just kept the design and got rid of the blur it would be MUCH MUCH better. The cover is a turnoff. If someone told me to choose the book that looked the most interesting, your book would be the last on my list. The cover makes your book look like an amateur wrote a quick story and sent it off to be published without reviewing the contents (if that makes sense).

    In the poem, Tabrizi uses the expression “A Thousand Splendid Suns” to illustrate the beauty of Afghanistan by personifying as a beautiful woman. It is therefore it is ironic that a novel that depicts the destruction of Afghanistan’s culture and the power structure, as in how much they value men to women. In the poem, it says, “May Allah protect such beauty from the evil eye of man!” This along with the concept of female endurance and survival from her own country shows just how corrupt the Afghanistan culture has become from then to now. The title highlights the tragedy of what happen to Afghanistan by making us remember precedent of what happens in the novel. Like the visit to the giant Buddha statues before their…

    In Cormac McCarthy’s novel All the Pretty Horses, the setting is used to represent the main characters transformation over time from one terrain to another. The limitedness of the Texan terrain scattered with barbed wire restrictions identifies the restlessness that motivates John Grady’s brevity in the region at the beginning of the novel. Meanwhile, the Mexican wilderness that John Grady Cole’s sets out for comes to epitomize how the vast territory of fenceless space shapes his experiences as they outline his true character. The result is recognition of the parallel between open terrain and his character, each one exemplifying one another and in the end explains the enlightenment he struggles for.…

    This book was entertaining and suspenseful which are two qualities I look for in a book. Not only should a book be informing and education, it should also be enjoyable to read or else no one would want to read it. The Color Purple made me feel uncomfortable and made form a large amount of opinions and sometimes got me angry. The Color Purple did have inappropriate parts that have never read in books before therefore being uncomfortable. Also during these inappropriate parts there was abuse and sexual abuse. And because I am a young black girl as well as Celie I was infuriated with how helpless and afraid she…

    The Hearth and the Salamander is the title of the first section of Fahrenheit 451. The meaning of The Hearth and the Salamander can be symbolic and straight forward. The word “hearth” is a brick/stone fireplace, often with an oven, used for heating and originally also used for cooking food. Since the hearth is usually a home’s central and most important feature, which the concept has been generalized to refer to the household, as "hearth and home" and "keep the home fires burning". The salamander is one of the official symbols of the firemen in the book, as well as what they call their fire trucks. There are ancient beliefs that salamanders live in fire and is unaffected by flames. Both of these symbols are related to fire, the image that dominated Guy Montag’s life. The opening chapters of Fahrenheit 451 talk about how being a fireman effects Montag’s life, especially after meeting Clarisse McClellan who, along with her family, lives a lifestyle that is unlawful for their time. The books that Montag and the rest of the fire department burn keeps people from knowing about the old fashion way of living that Clarisse and her folks take part of. This old fashion way the books refer to is the way we live today. Montag’s hearth (home) is greatly affected by salamander style of living he lives by. The two (Hearth and the Salamander) go hand in hand in the story. Montag begins to doubt his profession and become more understanding towards those who want to live the old way.…

    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…

    Generally, a pillow book is a collection of notebooks or notes which have been collated to show a period of someone or something's life. In Japan such kind of idle notes are generally referred to the zuihitsu genre. The Pillow Book is a book of observations and musings recorded by Sei Shōnagon during her time as court lady to Empress Consort Teishi during the 990s and early 11th century in Heian Japan. The book was completed in the year 1002. In it she included lists of all kinds, personal thoughts, interesting events in court, poetry and some opinions on her contemporaries.

    My initial interpretation of the cover of Tsotsi was that it was at a time of the day when the sun isn’t fully prominent perhaps at Dawn, or it could possibly be at dusk, as the bright orange sun is just peeking over the tops of the buildings. Also there is the powerful blue sky at the very top of the cover which could show either times of day as it could be forming or leaving. I thought that if it was dawn the male presence on the cover could have just started or even just finished work, as it’s quite common to work shifts like that, this would also explain how he looks tired however, this could also link into the possibility that he’s running away.…
