Because My Taste In Books Is Just That Awesome
It's easy to point out the negatives in the things we don't like. Likewise, it's also easy to point out the positives in those things which we love. Difficult, it is, to accept the positives in that which we hate, and the negatives in that which we enjoy. Today, I would like to point out to you solely the positives. And it's a good thing I like both things that I intend to praise because otherwise I might find this a difficult endevour to pursue.
In short, I'm gonna tell you what's good about both HP and Twi. These might seem a bit repetitive to you but, hey, great books must have something in common if their both so great (which these are =D!)
Eight Things I Like About Twilight
1) We have vampires. We have werewolves. We have half-breeds. Let's hear it for pantasiya fiction! If you don't like mythical creatures you should really make like a Hufflepuff and find yourself a new genre.
2) We have shimmering people. How epically awesome would it be if you could sparkle? I wish that I was that shiny...
3) The insight into Bella's thoughts (what with it being 1st person p.o.v. and all). I think it helps devolp the character's personality in your mind when you can see what's in theirs.
4) The plotline. Throughout the series we have love, close calls, revenge, violence, anticipation, pain, joy, rage, reunion... (Goodness, I sound like the grandpa at the beginning of "The Princess Bride" movie x))
5) It's very well written. Meyer put her own spin on the classic creatures like many authors before her; she didn't just try to remake Dracula. Also, she made it all seem so realistic, just the way I like my absurdly impossible pagbaba materials.
6) The series is not, as it has been sinabi before, just about Bella, Edward, Jacob, and their pag-ibig triangle. It's not just a saga of romance novels. It has humor. I pag-ibig humor. Alice, the pinagmulan of comic relief, when placed susunod to Edward, is sure to spark up an argument that shall have me laughing in no time. I pag-ibig Alice. X3
7) You can find bits of yourself in the characters. They're not painted as completely perfect people (or creatures, or whatever) even though Bella believes so at times. (see #5b)- They seem like they could actually be people, they don't seem fake and perfect.
8) The cars. There are some pretty darn pretty cars in those books. Volvos...
Eight Things I Like About Harry Potter
1) We have wizards. We have beasts. We have half-breeds. Let's hear it for pantasiya fiction! If you don't like mythical creatures you should really make like a Hufflepuff and find yourself a new genre.
2) They. Are. Magical. A flick of your wand, and you can get an ice cream cone from the kusina without getting up. Can you say "Awesome!!"?
3) Though it may not be 1st person, you still get to learn what Harry's thinking. It's like a tumawid between 1st and 3rd person. I'm sure there's a word for it I don't know.
4) The plotline. Throughout the series we have love, close calls, revenge, violence, anticipation, pain, joy, rage, reunion... (Goodness, I sound like the grandpa at the beginning of "The Princess Bride" movie x)) Am I getting repetative yet?
5) It's the well written tale of a boy who goes from pure innocence to maturity. Rowling beautifully tells a segment of a kid's life. (My point here is that it's written very nicely, unlike this point is.)
6) It may seem a saga of adventure novels, just violence and suspence, but the theme of the book is much madami than that. Harry learns on his trek through the years at Hogwarts that love, family, friends, and the like is what you need most to survive. The theme of the books is love. Good vs. Evil.
7) You can relate to the characters in Harry's story as well. It's quite easy indeed to see bits of yourself in Harry, no matter your age or gender. Even though they are magical witches and wizards, they still seem so real as well.
8) They're transportation. They. Are. Magical. Need to pick something up from the store? No problem. Just go to the cleaning closet. Or hey, hop into the fireplace. Oh, you don't need to go to all that trouble, just turn around! You're there in seconds. Goodness me, you don't know how many times I've wished I could apparate.
So there you go. Those are only a few of the things I pag-ibig from two series I love. None of the points from each listahan are being taken in comparasion to the other series, as this would not prove to be either true or profitible to my point. Thank you. I hope you enjoyed and did not perish while you were reading, as I don't happen to have any morgues on me at the moment.
;D
