Oh Lord, guys! I'm STILL on The Lovely Bones. I know, I know it must be getting pretty boring but I make it pretty interesting so I mean c'mon, who doesn't want to hear me talk? :) I think this time I'm going to blog about the vocabulary in the book/ Sorry if I've already done it but I'm gonna do it again and this is what I've observed so far:
The vocabulary is pretty low and informal. I believe it's more slang and dialect because it's in the view point of a fourteen year old. The sentences are mostly 8-20 words long so I would call them balanced/ short sentences. I like the simpleness of the book becasue I can understand it pretty well and I like that in my books.
The imagery is pretty descriptive and there is a lot of figurative language in the book and it's used well. This might sound a bit wierd but when she describes what her killer like does (I.E.: "he cut my body into slits") i think it's really interesting and I like the way it's described.
That's all for this week! Bye guys (:
That book sounds... interesting... What is it about? I have never heard of it before, but it sounds like it might be new, maybe? I would be interseted to see what it is about.
ReplyDeleteI like how you noted the type of writing the author uses throughout the book. I have also read this book, but did not enjoy it that much. It fell really shy of my expectations. I agree when you say that her writing style is informal. It is an easy read, but has a strange plot.
ReplyDeleteThis sound like a good book. You did a good job of describing the imagery used in the book.
