THE NOVEL OF SPIRITUAL EDUCATION- Harry Potter Prequel

-

Alright, so this was one of the worst readings I have done so far. It was short, It was bad and there was no satisfaction in finishing this reading. These types of literature are meant to incite and instruct young adults with complexities of navigating the world through a fantasy like an approach.

Yet this writing did no such thing. It was literally just a fanfiction meant as a cash grab for audiences that never picked up. There was no real moral issue, no real challenge for these characters it just seemed pointless in my opinion. But I can see the appeal that some might have with getting a closer glimpse into the relationship of the characters.

But it just needed something a little more exciting then what we were given.  No one likes this work and if they do then good for them. For me, I wish this prequel either didn’t exist or just had something else? Something more than just the weird bland conversation between the characters.

It left me wondering what I was reading and why I was reading all of it. I could just go online to deviant art or something and read better awful fanfictions. I’d expect better from the author but I guess we all have our faults. This being there’s.

Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire

-
Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire is interesting but it's not something I would normally read. It’s very wordy in my opinion explaining topics or points that normally wouldn’t be necessary to be explained. It feels more like a drabbled writing that is pieced together than something that is solid. The story questions vampires and wonders it left me wondering just what the moral line was and where to draw it. Like Claudia who was stuck in a 5 year-olds body for the entire amount of her life the thought of it is devastating and got me questioning just what is too much. The whole eternal life doesn’t seem all its cut out to be when viewing it as you get stuck when you were turned. It’s more like a curse like this then an actual blessing that some would think it to be. Watching your friends and family die off would leave a huge metal scar on anyone numbing them to nothing. It’s great for character development though as it adds tons of awful dramas to shape and mold the chara...
