This
is a video in which my group shares an opinion about the book “To Kill a Mockingbird”
First Entry
My
name is Xavier Edgardo Gomez and I have to say that I’m student of Licenciatura
en Idioma Ingles in the University of El Salvador. I’m a person that enjoys reading
when I see something really interesting, but my likes are so weird because I prefer
something not so common. I have had the opportunity to read different genres through
my life, and I enjoyed reading novels or books that make me imagine the performance
of the book when I am reading. When I decide to read, I try to look for a book in
which the author mix up fantasy or horror because they are my two favorite
genres.
Last
year, I had the opportunity to read different books when I was taking
Literature 1 and 2, and one called my attention during the semester. Its name was
“The adventures of tom Sawyer”.
Taking
advantage of this opportunity, I would like to mention why this novel caught my
attention, and I will provide a litter critic about what I could see through
the novel because this was a novel in which a person that have had the chance
to read could notice that the novel has different stories that are connected to
created one and explain the development of the characters in then novel.

Mark
Twain is not one of my favorite writers, but I have to say that he did a well job
developing the characters in the story. Since the very beginning, I could
notice that Twain tried to emphasize the experiences that a boy called Tom
sawyer had in the story, and the beauty of life that is represented in each chapter
of this book. During the story, the reader learns to appreciate the little
aspects that life offers every day, and it doesn’t matter if they are good or
bad. I really liked the fact that we can see how amazing is being a child, and thought
the chapters we see the situations that Tom faced, and the moral aspects that
the author mentioned in different parts of the story. I would like to say that
this could be a difficult story to read if you are not accustomed to read mark
twain’s writing style because we can find expressions that make us feel
confused.
When
people have internalized in the story, they notice that it is a beautiful story
not only for the aspects that the writer mentions about life but also the
habits that we can find, For example, going to the Sunday school, sit down at
the table. One of my favorite habits is the innocence that children show in the
story. The novel mentions different conflicts that happen across the story and
the children had to treat. This is a one of the most important things that the
novel shows in which we realized that the author describes the situation that
Tom and Fill had to deal during those events.
As
a conclusion, Tom Sawyer is a novel that was written with the purpose to make
us think about how the author expresses his feelings, and mentions the
importance of love, nobleness, and humility.
I
was mention at the beginning one of my favorite literary genres is horror
because you can feel the emotion in every single word when you are reading, but
not all the writers achieve this as Stephen King.
Stephen
King has always been one of my favorite writes not only for the amount of
horror stories that he has written but also for the complexity at the moment to
express his ideas. I would mention different novels such as “the stand”, “The
Shining”, “The Dark Tower” (that is a series of stories that are connected
among themselves), and one of my favorite is “It”. There are many novels that deserve
a place here, but I will mention two novels of Stephen king that in my opinion
are the best if we are talking about fantasy and horror, and they are “The
Stand” and “It”.
Those
novels mix up different details to be considered great novels. For example, the
first one is a novel in which Kings’ ideas about the last day of humanity are
presented. That was something that called my attention from this story because
the writer tries to make emphasis in many values that people have lost nowadays
such: as empathy, respect and loyalty. This is not a post in which I will provide
any spoiler about this story, but if there is something that I can mention
about this novel is the fact how Stephen King portrays how his characters have
to choose to believe in God or The Evil, and he tells us how a person could
change over the years through the different situations and experiences even if
that person has been good in the past.
The second
story that I will mention is “It” because this story has caused polemic since
the moment that came out in 1986. This is not only a horror fiction story but
also has different elements that at this moment have been considered unacceptable
in our society such as: children abuse, racism and drugs. I have to say that
his story is one of best for me because the complexity of the main villain called
“It”. Stephen King created more than a villain with super power in his story
because he also mentioned that a single person could be a monster in real life,
and society could change a good person into a criminal. Also the lack of love
in the story is an important point that we can notice in this novel because
most of the protagonists suffer because of that, and it makes that they have a
difficult childhood that only was cover for the friendship that children in the
novel had.
Certainty,
this will be always one of my favorite because it shows how difficult could be
to grow up without love or attention, and the difficulties that the society has
for a person without support.
