Have you ever eagerly waited to read a book but then realize you know what will take place? I hope not. That just happened to me. Today, like 7 hours ago. "Close read," he said, "it'll be fun." he said. Pause, not. I began to read the book's back cover and SHAZAM, Deb Olin Unferth ruined 80% of her interesting story in about 5 minutes. What a way to hook the reader into buying your book.
As I read the first fraction of the book the wheels of AP Language and Composition that now reside in my head began turning. Yep, that would be a first time. Thoughts suddenly hit me like an unexpected wave in the beach. Ideas about diction, tone, and word choice attacked me incessantly. This is how it goes:
Revolution, the story of a Christian couple interning themselves in countries suffering from Socialism, contains changes. I grasped Unferth's tone as a neutral, matter-of-factly one. Her words seem to the point and I didn't feel any of them catch my attention, thus her diction seems informal but careless.
So far, I haven't felt anything as I read other than frustration and loathe towards the couple. What do they think, that Socalist revolutions during the Cold War were a way to escape their ordinary Christian lifestyle? Instead of joining it they should have fought, supported endng of it! So much for being God's messengers.
