Book Review: Little Women

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott  Read from June 24 to September 11, 2015 Ebook version (free) So much feelings going on right after finishing this book. I read the Puffin n Bloom by Rifle edition, so it is smaller on the size and thick. I read it for almost 5 months. Daebak. But then again, I try to write this book review, although I am not really happy with the ending.  So, Little Women in a nutshell...

As soon as I know she would govern Adele, Mr. Rochester's daughter from another mistress(?), I would know there would be romance thing in here. But then you would be served with all of these gory details after ...

An Analysis of Feminism Perspectives Depicted in Mad Max: Fury Road Movie

Movie is considered as modern form of literature. Apart of the ability to formerly convey what was depicted inside the novel, prose, play, or poem (movie adaptation), movies nowadays can stand alone as purely new form of literature. The making progress of movie involves such ability, which also includes writing, interpreting, reading, and acting. The only written form of a movie is the script. This is why movie nowadays is considered as a new form of literary work which can stand alone.  Moreover, movies are not only using interpreted written text as the way to visualize what is inside the story, but also be supported by sound effect, which tremendously make movies a priority choice in spending leisure time by so many people or moviegoers. It is much quicker and easier. Apparently people who pick movies than books do not want their time to be spent by reading a thick book. This is also why some movie makers out there consider producing their own movies which are not adapted fr...
