Recommended: Importance of literature

If I were to ever write a book, it would be one of two things; poetry, or a fantasy novel. Writing a book is actually one of my goals in life. I have always been a lover of all kinds of literature, hence the diversity in the genres I would write. Some of the best books I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading have been of those genres, and that’s what has influenced the type of book I will write. Many books have had such an impact on me, that they’ve changed me for the better. One of those books is a fantasy series by the name ‘Throne of glass’ written by the wonderful author Sarah J. Maas. The main character is a young woman named Celaena Sardothien. Those books have taught me so many lessons. Such as not being scared to go beyond …show more content…

I want all the women who read it to feels as inspired as I did when I read about her. One of my favorite quotes from the series is, “Libraries were full of ideas- perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.” She also wrote another fantasy series that I love called A Court of Thorns and Roses. The series has characters who are immortal faeries, and as crazy as it may seem, I could relate to them. They are all dreamers, wishers, doers, and the entire novel taught me to fight for what I want in life. My favorite quotes from that series are, “The world will be saved and remade by the dreamers,” and, “There are good days and hard days for me- even now don’t let the hard days …show more content…

I’m sucker when it comes to a good poetry book. Thomas Grey once said, “Poetry is thoughts that breathe and words that burn.” Poetry is diverse in a way that there are poems for all kinds of feelings and state of minds. From the sad to the happy, and all other emotions in between. I would really enjoy the process of creating my poetry novel. I would have poems that come straight from my life and experiences. I would certainly hope that those who read it can take away a sense of inspiration from it. I have read all kinds of poetry and it has made me a person who wakes up in the morning and takes a second to appreciate everything I have in my

The following passage epitomizes the Walls’ lifestyle, Jeanette's parent’s teaching mantra being, “If you don’t want to sink, you better figure out how to swim.” This attitude towards life reminds me of when Rose Mary says, “Suffering is good for the soul” earlier in the story. In this scene in particular, Rex Walls attempts teaching Jeannette how to swim. However, he takes a different approach than most parents would, continually pushing her away from him, and allowing her to thrash around in the waters, drowning until he brought her back to the shallow end of the spring. Although a memorable section of the text, this wasn’t the only occurrence where the parenting of the Walls’ bordered neglect.

Parents have a profound influence on shaping their children’s personalities through their attitudes and actions. This is because children spend a substantial portion of their formative years under their parent’s care and guidance. During this period, they observe and interact with their parents, internalizing various behaviors, beliefs, and values that mold their character. This concept is clearly illustrated in the memoir The Glass Castle, by Jeannette Walls. This memoir depicts the author’s unconventional upbringing with their parents, Rex and Rosemary.

Does an individual's role in self-perception play a role in seeking to reconcile the conflict between illusion and reality? In Jeannette Walls "The Glass Castle," Rex displays hidden trauma from when he was a child, which leads him to create a false reality to shield them. In doing this, the false reality will lead them to struggle to find the difference between what is real and what is an illusion. As an adult, Rex displays minimal remorse for anyone in his life when they are harassed. This is most prominently displayed after Rex's mother touches Brian, and when Rex gets back to hear about this, instead of taking his own son's side, he instead tells his kids "Brian's a man, he can take it".

You can see this strategy as in my poems, Secrets, Baseball, and Security Camera. This year I have read books about Edgar Allen Poe, and Mark Twain. These poets really inspired me as I attempted to write very deeply and have a very smooth rhythm to my poems, mainly focusing on my poem, Secrets. Overall I drafted 9 poems, however I put a lot of effort into each one, resulting me in having to still choose from a variety for my final draft. When choosing which poems I should use I took in consideration variety, words, room to work on, and personal meaning.

In Sarah J Maas’ Throne of Glass, she takes the fight for freedom and survival and immerses us in the lives of characters that could be real. She tells the story with the protagonist being a teen girl, Celaena Sardothien who has darkness and light in her. Be prepared for a story of excitement and friendship, humor and anger, romance and friendship, and bravery and death. That is the direction the book heads in, as Maas develops characters who fight the fight many of us don’t know of. Each character has their own unique story that will give you a glimpse of a strength and boldness, but they all hide their own secrets.

The only poetry that I have ever read was if it pertained to school work. I have never just read poetry for enjoyment. There are times where I find it difficult to pick up what the poet is trying to explain or talk about in the poem and I have to read it several times to understand the meaning. Among all the poems that I have read through the chapters, one of my favorites was “Do not go gentle into that good night” by Dylan Thomas.

Poetry is a very unique type of writing. Poetry allows people to express their emotions in a way they feel comfortable. Every poem has a meaning to it, whether it is talking about food, interest, or a moment in their lives. Readers often mistake the poet as the narrator, although in many cases this is true. Many poets are the narrators and the poems are about their personal life.
