Julia Golubenko Mrs. Greenfield Close Reading and Critical Writing November 13‚ 2007 The movie Namesake was a fairly good depiction of the book. As a movie‚ apart from the book‚ it was good.

Isn’t it easier to accept the idea that a main character would be engaged in a fist fight‚ rather than a sword fight?

To me it is just more real to have the setting of a story in modern times and in the United States. Rostand’s Cyrano De Bergerac is written about a time that no one alive now has experienced. There is the same plot idea that an ugly man wants the pretty girl‚ but she
