This year has been filled with plenty entertaining and interesting novels/plays that significantly stood out for me. These include: The Canterbury Tales, 1984, A Streetcar Named Desire, Never Let Me Go, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Each of these novels/play had an immense effect on me. Personally, I do not enjoy reading, especially novels/plays which are forced to be completed as an assignment, however this year included incredibly interesting novels and plays. Especially, 1984, because it had such a different view on society and how people should act in a dictatorial system. The characters in the novel, revealed themselves unexpectedly, creating a suspenseful tone throughout the rest of the novel.
Also, I enjoyed reading the satirical novel by, Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales. Chaucer wrote this novel based on his perception of each character during the late fourteenth century. He described each character and their moralities in the general prologue (introduction). Not to mention the two short tales we read in class. The Miller's Tale was my favorite, because it was ridiculous with a twisted theme/message. The scenes that occurred in the Miller's Tale were unorganized, idiotic, and insanely misleading; thus uncovering the Miller's corruption during the society and time period.
Although, A Midsummer Night's Dream was incredibly confusing, and disorderly it turned out to be extremely entertaining. I enjoyed reading the play as a class, because it seemed easier to understand the text.
Sadly, the year has come to an end and I probably will not read anymore, but at least I completed my last forum. (:
