Walter Dean Myers Book Report
My enjoyment level on reading this novel has decreased ever since my reading discussion group has chosen the book. We have been reading the realistic fiction book "Monster" by Walter Dean Myers. Personally, I did not absolutely love the book. It was a good book but I found it extremely difficult to be on task with. Referring to all of the movie-related comments and all the characters. I think the constant journal entries and dialogue plays going back and forth made me fall off

    Monster In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

    The lens through which readers encounter monsters is often a skewed one. This lens could be that of the author, who seeks to embody a monster as a horrific, non-human entity that will cause havoc in an area. Similarly, this lens could be that of a character in a piece, one who witnesses the monster’s wrath and destruction firsthand and hopes to avoid the cruel savage being. Monster narratives rarely unfold from the perceptive of the monster, and, as such, audiences must rely on other sources as to the monster’s course of action. Such voices can carry a bias with them. As in the case of the author, the omniscient perspective provides descriptions of the monster without directly interacting the monster. This perspective could easily fail to report…

    Honus and Me

    My critique of this book is that it was a great book. The parts that I liked about this book was how unlike most books it didn’t tell you the conflict until the ending of the book. At the end, I also liked how it told you what the next book was going to be about. The only thing I did not like about the book was that you could predict what was going to happen in the story.…

    Patrick Ness A Monster Calls

    A Monster Calls, a fiction novel by Patrick Ness, would be rated a 9 out of 10 because it was a beautifully written book that grabbed hold of the audience’s attention and never let it go, but the ending could have been better. This book was chock-full of heart-wrenching, emotion inflicting scenes that could make the most stone cold person cry. The way that Patrick Ness brought Siobhan Dowd’s idea to life was extraordinary. Not only was Patrick Ness able to make an amazing idea into an even more amazing novel, but he also created characters that revealed the complexity of human nature and demonstrated the destruction caused by death. Another thing that was amazing about this book were the illustrations. Jim Kay’s drawings were beautiful, accentuated…

    Walter Mitty Compare And Contrast Essay

    An example of how boring the book's main challenge is that one of Mitty’s goals is to buy overshoes, nothing really exciting about that right? the only thing making it hard for him to get these is his own daydreams while in the movie an example of its much more exciting plot and challenges would be how he has to travel to many places to find this one guy, specifically when he first had to go to iceland and the guy he was looking for wasn't even there, meaning he had to do even more work to find him, making his challenge only that much harder. Showing the whole movie is much more exciting than the book, i mean how exciting is it to read about someone nearly forgetting to buy something because he's too busy daydreaming about flying a…

However, I remarked that the producers added music that gives an effect of mystery and suspense (a bit repetitive). This helps bring out the suspense.…

I had a great picture in my mind about each and every character and I felt myself thinking about some of them even when they were absent from a page or two. It became so interesting that before I could finish the book, I had to turn to the internet to look up the characters of the movie. I just had to see them in the flesh!…
