In regards to our multipersonality,

The new picturesque I had on the novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was something I didn’t realize before I read it once when I was in 6th grade. As a typical childish and stereotyped primary schooler, I just thought of it as an another “good vs. evil” story. However, I recall that I […]

Questions on “All Quiet on the Western Front”

Two thumbs up.

Honestly to say, this book was one of the easiest book to read, and one of the most powerful book I read.
I had some technical (or grammar) problems reading this book, because this book had a slightly different format on dialogues.
It was a truly heartbreaking story. It formed a exciting, and rather a […]

Perfume, One of the Deepest Stories

Perfume, a story of a murderer

I saw this movie last night with my father in the theater.
There were lots of things I could connect in this movie. Virtues, religion, and such.First to go over a summary, there was a kid born in the market in Paris, in the midst of the baddest odor. His mother […]

An Ideal Being

In Sophie’s World, in a certain chapter, it talks about Aristotle and Plato’s thoughts about the ideal ideas of every beings in the world.
To explain shortly, they believed that there was an ‘idea’ being that is the perfect form of a life that every species derived from. For example, there is an idea horse, which […]

Decameron is surely fun

We are reading the Decameron by Boccaccio. We are assigned to read the preface of the story. To say, it was pretty interesting. Also the writing was hard to read because there were appositives everywhere as long as a decent sentence. The author seemed to be having an interesting yet frustrating, meaningful but painful, […]

Mangas/Comics are bad for students? HELL NO!!

First of all, i love Japanese graphic novels.
They’re full of stories, good stories, and good stories.
They’re a perfect literature, except that scenes are in pictures, and probably most of their scene is combating and fighting.
If I name a few international best-selling mangas, there are: Naruto, Bleach, D-Gray Man, One Piece, Death Note, Eye-Shield 21, and […]

Oh My Hero

Hero! it’s a fascinating word. Since young, we heard this word from Disney movies, from TV commercials, everywhere.
If we give an imaginary heroes from the fantasies, there are superman, batman, etc that saves human lives and kills the evil.
There are lots of definitions for a hero.
One definition could be a man who led his group, […]

I don’t get anything what barth says in his book

Really, i don’t get the story he’s talking about.
I think the introduction, the check in, was about a couple checked in in a beautiful resort, and the guy starts telling stories to the girl.
The process was very confusing, and it had very, extremely indirect plot progression.
It was… boring. It was just a play with words.
If […]

ingredients of good story

What should a good story have inside?
Literally, lots of stuff.
Everyone would want to know what a good story should contain, because they might be reading one or they could judge one.
For any reasons, i just gathered my pieces of thoughts of what a good story is supposed to be made up.
So first you need an […]
