In my last blog post I have mentioned something about John Green's writing style. I think I have figured out his writing style. His writing is most of the time in one of the main character's point of view. (Remember I have only read two books of his and I am currently reading another so this evaluation is not official.) All of the main characters from each book seem to be educated. Even in those characters who are not as smart as the others in some parts of their dialogue it seems proper. Even when they are not talking, sometimes it's when they describe a scene or a memory they've had. It just seems like the characters are really smart. Then I wonder if it is just the character that has that kind of persona or if the author, John Green, is conveying his persona into the character. Is is like a child getting a gene from their parent. In this case the book is the child and Green is the parent. I find Green's writing style very fascinating... and hurtful.
"That smile could end wars and cure cancer."
This quote stood out the most to me because I just thought it was very sweet of the main character in AAOK to describe Katherine XIX like that. It means her smile to him was very strong and beautiful. I also find special meaning to this quote because it makes me think about the people who do not seem to smile that much but when they smile it is the best thing you have seen of them. A smile can hold so much meaning, even sadness. It would hold sadness but for me I can tell a real smile from a fake smile. A real smile would mostly have the person's nose scrunched up a bit. Of course, I am not always right on that.
In conclusion what this quote has taught me is to smile more and try to make other people smile because a smile is good look to have on. It is one one of the fashion styles that NEVER runs out of style. Please listen to the message that I send to all of my readers. Have a smile because it suits you and everyone.
Sarai,
ReplyDeleteI really, really enjoyed your blog this week! I think you did an excellent job evaluating John Greene's writing! I love how you talked about how the character traits and personalities could be like Greene's, and loved the connection you made of the parent passing down genes to their child, and how Greene is the parent, and the book is the child. I also liked the quote you used, and how you talked about how you should smile more! Though, my favorite part was definitely the gif that said, "Smile in... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Keep that smile because you're beautiful!" It's so cool and inspiring! So, overall great blog this week, and I look forward to reading more of your blogs in the future!
