Country Lovers: Reading Reflection Country Lovers captures emotion and imagination only in a way our human minds can draw for us that no television will ever be able to mimic. For me this story took a familiar feeling story and put a twist on it with a semi modern feel. Using a formalist analytical view the story was in a memorable setting‚ and had a classic plot. Along with the setting the author was able to use what seemed appropriate language use that added to the mood and theme. Overall

This sentence caught my attention because it gave me mixed emotions‚ first of hoping that this forbidden love would have a happy ending‚ and also a sense of foreboding that this would not be the case due to the inter-racial theme and the setting of the story.
