Journal Entry 94 Title: My Most and Least Favorite

Okay, I will start with my favorite book this year. I have several favorites i want to talk about, but I will still list them from the most to the least. The first book is the Westing Game. This book is very interesting with all the mysterious plot, and there are many humorous dialogues. The plot is interesting which forces me to spend more time on it and grabs my attention, and that's not really a bad thing to me. The second one is the Great Expectations. This is not a book chose by the teacher, or the school, that is one reason i like it. I chose this book, because it's heavy, and it looks like i can learn from it, and i did. This book is one of the biggest book I've ever read, actually, it IS the biggest and the longest and the most completed book I've read. And maybe that will be like this for another 20 years…. But this book is chose as an assignment, and I didn't have enough time to read it, therefore, I had to skip some parts (please forgive my act, Mr.McCool). Anyways, the important thing is that i learned from it, and I think I will take the lecture from the theme and put it into my own life. The theme is to love what you already have and care about people around you, to live the life in front of you, not just creating and assuming weird expectations that will totally disappoint you.
My least favorite, or the most hatful book is Hatchet. This book totally disappointed me, I heard this book is very lovable and fun. I guess my expectations was set too high…. It is boring, it's a novel that is trying to teach me things about survival. It fine for books to teach as philosophies and stuff, but they teach readers through themes and morals. Unlike the other books, Hatchet teach too many stuff, or includes too many scattered themes, it made the novel unreadable and unloving for me. I want a novel, not a list of instructions, and if I want lists, I don't want them in paragraph forms. :( !!
I like poetry the most. It is artistic and it is like an abstract painting, using figurative languages. I also enjoy writing poems, I have no idea why, maybe because it is a kind of free write, and I really like free writing.
