My theme and summary post for Looking for Alaska was the best because it meets all the requirements, the theme is appilicable to other texts as well as life and it was well recieved in comments. The theme was that nothing will ever truely be gone. The requirements for the post are to determine a theme or central idea of atext and analyze in detail its development over the course of the text. In the post, I say, " Miles Halters who loses a dear friend (not saying who, how or why). So Miles
and his friends have to cope with their disapearance. For most of the second
half, Miles is very sad and at many points angry that his friend was gone mostly
because of how he wanted questions answered that could only be answered by the
person they could not find. But once Miles came to grips with his friend being
gone was when the theme was realized." That meets that requirement. The theme (according to comments) was a touching theme worded well which is applicable to other texts which I point out about the end of Romeo and Juliet, or just applicable to life.
My goals for next tri involving reading are to finish An Abundance of Katherines and read (or at least start reading) The Fault In Our Stars because I cannot read more than one or two books at a time. I want to read The Fault In Our Stars because 1) everyone says it is great 2) I really like the author and what I read of his and 3) it is being made into a movie and I want to read the book first. My goal for writing is to attempt to participate in NANOREMO (National Novel Writing Month) but I am almost certain I will not complete that task. But my trimester goal is to brainstorm and start writing a new novel or screenplay as a new project. My other goal with my writing is that I want it not to only be entertaining but helpful in others lives with relatable characters and situations.
