All the Bright Places A Few Pages in the Beginning Review

Look what's come to mail yesterday!

All the Bright Places from UK Penguin Books Publishing

So I ordered some of 'orders' for my Bookish Bookstore customers. I have like 3 orders of this book! I also added one as my collection! So yesterday I held 4 books of All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. And this post is meant to be an early review from a few pages of it that I've been reading on... And I honestly understand about the downside of YA books. Sometimes it is like reading some novels written by Wattpad infamous authors. That kind of feeling, you know, when you really don't get where this story would lead you to. But one thing I have got from these earlier pages is this book talks about suicide and the bereavement-kind-of-feeling. Deprivation feeling of losing someone who is still really important to you even she has already gone. I know exactly that kind of feeling. It also talks about suicide which is so common across South East Asia nations. But I think I don't really like the writing style. It is so much different with J. K. Rowling, whose writing style I adore after I finished reading The Casual Vacancy, not the Harry Potter series, instead. Kind of weird, I know. But yeah, I put this book as soon as I reached 40-something of pages and continue reading Moby-Dick instead. Sounds weird, huh?

I love this book. If only he didn't talk that much about whale industry, which I find hard to swallow!


But don't worry, it is not as bad as I Was Here, by Gayle Forman. So I would squeeze my time for a solid reading session, so I can get what people have talked about this book lately, the bright sides of it. Later!

My Star by Robert Browning

My Star by Robert Browning  Poem Analysis Today, I'd like to present my poem analysis; My Star by Robert Browning . This poem analysis would be divided into three parts, namely: introduction which will tell a brief background life of the poet, then to the content where there will be summary and intrinsic elements of this poem, and then move to the conclusion as the finish line. But more importantly, you need to know why I choose this poem, which belongs to Men and Women (1885)  poems collections of Browning. It is because this dainty love lyric is just beautiful and simple, in words-chosen and easy to understand too. More importantly, this poem shows us how the beauty of a person is different depending on its beholder. Yet, we should respect the differences.

The reign of the Puritans also produce a large amount of literature (poetry, prose), but drama could not thrive because it is prohibited by the authorities. Drama regarded as a nest of immorality by the Puritan authorities. It is just so different with Elizabeth period where drama produces a lot of outstanding works. So we can see that the literary works of Puritan period are just different from Elizabeth period. In period of Puritan literature, there are three groups of poems; metaphysical, cavalier and Puritan.

Since it is holiday already, so I have more time to gather the data and publish this article, which is entitled Gender Stereotypes and Performativity in Frozen movie . I analyzed this movie in order to complete the assignment given in Children literature class. But it turned out interesting! I focused only one theory; performativity from Judith Butler. Check out the analysis from my paper! The writer analyzes Frozen movie by focusing only one theory; performativity from Judith Butler. In order to not broaden it into some theories that may be found in the plot, the writer thinks the misconstrued-performances of the main characters, Anna and Elsa are easily seen and become vast majority start from the beginning until the very end of the movie. But it doesn’t mean other theories are forgotten. Something that the writer immediately thought about when finishing the movie was that Frozen is perhaps the queerest animated film ever produced by Disney–queer as being a theoretical practic
