The Importance Of Relationships In Twisted Books

1040 Words5 Pages

To be honest it sounds like we have very similar reading/writing styles. My fantasy novel is basically entirely about three relationships and how they intertwine and develop, how a couple manages to take a relatively isolated and innocent woman and their actions/reactions/life in trying to save themselves and their world turn her into this evil super witch. Other stuff happens, mainly because otherwise I wouldn't have a book, but for me it's all about their relationships developing. Making decisions that they don't even know will have the ramifications that they do, and then reading back through it and seeing exactly where they went wrong.

Even in my Twisted Tales it's about the people and their reactions. I hate stories where you could inject …show more content…

A lot of hit and miss roleplays. I roleplayed on a forum first which separated it's roleplays by abilities. Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Hardcore. I spent a lot of time flitting between advanced and hardcore, but it was judged by word-count, so I was writing 3000-word posts, but finding myself so bored. And skimming through my own posts when I was replying, let alone their replies. I almost gave up on it entirely, because I found that the characters were lost amongst the filler. And trying to write 3000 words when all you want to do is focus on an immediate reply to dialogue, or try and write a natural conversation...it takes the fun out. And rids you the chance of any dynamic between the characters because there's so story much between their …show more content…

Seeing the world through different eyes, figuring out their reaction, having them change and evolve based on their interactions with a whole other character that I have no control over. It's incredible. Especially delving into characters with whom I share no traits, and adequately exploring nuances of an entirely different outlook/thought process. Word count went out the window.

Though it's actually a little scary, I'm finding Hannah one of the easiest of my characters to relate too. I have a really bubbly, outgoing, popular, social and bright eyed girl...and she's completely alien for me to write. I have to consciously overthink her every interaction she has! I don't like to think what that says about me as a person! She is my biggest challenge and she's probably the most socially 'normal' of all my characters. ^-^

Basically writing for me is; these are the characters I want. This is where they start. This is where they end. I write all their

I’ll start of with the supporting characters in the book, one word: overdramatic. Drama isn’t always my cup of tea and this book and its characters seem to love it, or that is what I felt sometimes (Maybe I’m the overdramatic one right now). For example; Melindas ex-bestfriends started ignoring her after she called the police during a party and that is relatively exaggerated to a certain degree, I get that someone would get mad but if you really are bestfriends then it wouldn’t be a problem to try to understand the situation and try to make up.

Some examples of her kindness and generosity is when she allows rosaleen and lily stay at their house in return for work. August of course made sure the work wasn’t hard and she made it fun. I think I relate to August the most because she is gentle yet tough and that’s how i am. I dislike all the other characters in this story. The reason is that they all more con’s than pro’s.

As a staff member at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Coastal Carolina, I was able to get know Hannah Mizelle quite well. Hannah was a member for over six years prior to moving to Florida. She was an absolute pleasure to have at the Club and displayed positive behavior each day. Hannah is one of the most intelligent and impactful youth that I have ever had the pleasure of interfacing with. She is kind, considerate, and carries herself in a mature fashion.

The Puritan society in The Crucible The Puritans were English Reformed Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries who sought to "purify" the Church of England from its "Catholic" practices. They were also historically known to be hyper-religious and judgmental, believing themselves to be the Hebraic God’s chosen people and abiding by strict social rules. The Crucible by Arthur Miller is an example of this, especially when the situation was taken to extremities through the Salem witchcrafts. Because of their strongly biased religious government being easily swayed by the lies from some other people, the sole individual was left with no chance of defending themselves from accusations when the public had already decided their fate. In the 16th and 17th centuries, Puritan theology derived in New England after an exodus from England during the English Protestant Reformation.

One of the central theme of the novel is love and friendship. It was Patty’s first experience of feeling loved. The reason for her falling for Anton was simply that he treated her nicely. They were both attracted to each other and formed a bond quickly. Patty also learned the truth of the adage that love is selfless; even though coming outside would put Anton at risk of being discovered, he came to attempt to rescue Patty from her father 's terrible beating, which was an act that made Ruth realize how genuine his feelings for Patty were and seemed to surprise Anton himself as he had not realized he could love another person enough to endanger himself for them

I really enjoyed the story and even more so the way people talked and what was sociably acceptable in the time of the story. I disliked the amount of time it took to complete a chapter and this was a struggle for me to want to put that time for annotating instead of something else. I enjoyed most the feeling of accomplishment on completing the entire set of four books, and looking back over my annotations it looked much nicer than what I had so that also felt accomplishing. The most frustrating part of the assignment was finishing one book and knowing you still had more to do, especially because I did not time organize in my favor. My standards, I feel, are low and probably why I also feel like there is more I need to do, the problem is that the feeling of incompleteness is not driving me to work on it more.

It is said that “The best relationships are the ones you don’t expect and the ones you never saw coming” (Pinterest, 2016). This quote shows that some relationships are unexpected and turn out to be the best ones a person can have. Relationships are essential for everybody, they teach how to be true to oneself, get out there, and not be afraid. To help prove the thesis, this first short story, “Tic and Shout” by Gail Giles, shows that embracing oneself can get one accepted by others.
