As the year comes to a close I thought I would summarize what I thought the meaning of some, but not all, of the novels we read were. To start off with, A Farewell to Arms is mostly about how love can change people and the randomness of life. Both Catherine and Frederic Henry areContinue reading “GAN Recap”

All of the deaths in No Country for Old Men are in some way, either first hand or second hand, a product of a drug related conflict. Drugs are a major problem in the United States and Novels and Show’s like NCFOL, breaking bad, Narcos, etc. do a great job oh highlighting what actually goesContinue reading “Lyke No Country for Old Men Short Blog”

In No Country For Old Men, I find the character of Chigurh to be the most interesting. I often wondered, what makes a man like that tick, obviously he is not only driven by money. Like any famous serial killer, Chigurh genuinely enjoys killing people. The concept of him flipping a coin to decide someonesContinue reading “Lyke No Country for Old Men Short Blog”

My favorite book that I have read this year has been American Assassin. I was the only one that could keep my interest through the entire thing. In our modern society it is fair to say that the majority of people in the upcoming generations would rather watch a movie or tv show than readContinue reading “Lyke – Short blog American Assassin”

This is the second half of my ranking of novels I read this semester. While I enjoyed all three of these I’d put a gap between the top 2 and number 3. #3– Pudd’nhead Wilson I’ve written quite a few blogs already on this one but I found the premise to be super amusing. TheContinue reading “Short Blog #8 (Top Six Novels of the Semester Part Two)”

For this blog I will be exploring the idea of if Henry really did love Catherine. Henry told himself he loved her and he told her that he loved her but I do not think that Henry knew what actual love meant. The priest knew that actual love is unconditional which means that you wishContinue reading “Lyke – Farewell to Arms Short blog”

Since today was our last class day of the year I decided to rank my favorite novels from this semester. I’ll break this into two blogs so I don’t have to completely condense my opinions on each one.  #6- Day of the Locust While it’s my least favorite of the novels we read this semester,Continue reading “Short Blog #7 (Top 6 Novels of the Semester Part 1)”

“The pigeon house pleased her. It at once assumed the intimate character of a home, while she herself invested it with a charm which it reflected like a warm glow. There was with her a feeling of having descended in the social scale, with a corresponding sense of having risen in the spiritual. Every stepContinue reading “The Awakening – Quote Analysis”

Pudd’nhead Wilson presents many ideas about how a child’s race, birth and nurturing will affect their character years later. I’ll leave out the premise since you should already know it if you’re reading this. The two boys switched at birth look almost identical even to Roxy, so nobody can tell which child is white andContinue reading “Identity in Pudd’nHead Wilson”

Cormac McCarthy has grown to be one of my favorite authors throughout the past year. His style has been the key in keeping me hooked and making sure that the book moves along at a breakneck pace. Perhaps I relate to his simple sentences and seeming lack of respect for syntax, punctuation and grammar butContinue reading “Cormac McCarthy Style”
