Some books are just slow-moving. Once you pick them up and begin the first chapter, you find your mind wandering elsewhere, and soon realize you have to re-read the page all over again. This was originally my own problem when reading Ethan Frome. To the book’s credit, I found it exponentially more enjoyable by the halfway point. However, any excitement to read the book was hindered by its dull title and cover design. To get future readers more excited to start this rather slow-moving book, it desperately
Book Cover Analyses I will analyze the book cover on the left first: Concept: This book cover looks Chinese in a 1930’s setting. This is achieved and done through the graphics, which tell and say “Chinese” without too much power that could have overdone it. Furthermore, the graphics also have a 1930’s feeling for me. Most of the weight of the “Chinese” comes from the dominant red color scheme and the dragons representing China. Though, the 1930’s is represented through the supporting smaller
Douglass once said “Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.” In society today there are discussions surrounding reading in the current generation. So do you believe that reading helps the mind with anything? Do you think that reading a hard cover book does the same effect as watching a movie? Or maybe is reading really that important? Well, hm. See I guess that’s something you’ll have to keep reading to find out. How do you perceive reading? Well, I don’t know about you, but I think reading
This text can be on can show up in multiple ways each one with a different meaning behind it. It can be seen as a book cover either with the whole thing as the book cover or just one of the four pieces. In this context this could be telling us a story of a person wanting to become someone else, because they don’t like their appearance. They might want to appear as a fictional creature like in the top-right one where the person's face is replaced with a skeleton. This also might be a way to show yourself
A book cover, as simple as it is, can allow the reader to gain insight into themes and topics that a book contains within itself. The book covers of the book, “1984” by George Orwell, show the reader different ideas and themes that are present within the book. In the book “1984” Winston has dreams of a revolution to overthrow Big Brother and the totalitarian control that he has over all people. The book covers do not show the summary of the book just show the theme and it is up to the reader to find

Some of the more prominent hardships were: her child dying in infancy, the bombings, all the times she was forced to move to a
I believe in the story of the Elephant Man the theme is don't judge a book by it's cover, because when comparing the Elephant Man to how he is portrayed and how he really is as a person it really makes you think, because how he looks and his reputation leads you to believe he is a ugly dimwitted off putting individual, when in reality he is very intelligent kind and gregarious, it's for these reasons I’m led to believe he is a good person and beautiful in his own way because how he attempts to cheer
judge a book by its cover” is a metaphorical statement accepted as true in society; even though a book’s cover appears to be beautiful, the story inside might not live up to its expectations. However, Victoria Aveyard’s young adult fantasy novel, Red Queen, most definitely opposes this statement. Everyone can look at the cover and truthfully disclose that it is quite elegant and simplistic, as it shows a queen’s tiara dripping red blood. Don’t be fooled by the “don’t judge a book by its cover” remark
While Pat Boone’s cover of “Ain’t That a Shame” (1955), originally performed by Fats Domino, has many similarities to the original, there are a few differences that alter the song and arguably its meaning. Although the two versions have nearly the same rhythm, harmony, and form; the groove, vocal delivery, and a subtle lyric change make the two versions of the song quite distinct. Because of these differences, the Fats Domino version of the song has a much more easygoing and optimistic vibe than
Oftentimes, there are many songs written by artists that are covered by different artists. When a song is written by a cover artist, it simply means that the recorded song is sung by another artist rather than the original artist. In some cases, songs that are sung by cover artists are preferred over the original artist. One of my preferred cover artist songs is written by Brad Paisley but covered by another artist. The song “I’m Gonna Miss Her” was written by Brad Paisley and was covered by Post
