RMST202 Course-specific blog

  It was a blessing for me to be able to choose RMST202 out of the many courses I took. I initially chose this class for the credit requirement, and I had no idea about the content of the type. But when I participated in the class, I was pleasantly surprised by the new grading format and the amount of class discussion. In this situation, I found that I could read every novel recommended by the professor without the pressure of a grade, and the weekly blog I was required to write was a lighter load than in my other classes. This assignment felt less like mandatory learning and more like developing good reading habits. When I learned that I needed to complete a book each week, I would schedule my time wisely and read for two hours a day, Monday through Friday, to complete the book in an even but modest way. These two hours of reading allow me to quiet my mind, feel the words, and start my college day. In fact, it had been a long time since I had read a book in its entirety and carefully,

This week I read Soldiers of Salamis, a novel in which the protagonist begins by expressing his unhappy life, with his father's death, the departure of his wife, and his having to give up his fiction career to become a journalist again. He later interviews Rafael Sanchez Ferlosio, who is giving a lecture at the university and tells the story of his father's confrontation with a firing squad. His father was shot in the Collell Sanctuary, escaped, was arrested in Barcelona, but took advantage of the chaos to hide in the forest before the arrival of Franco's troops and was found by a soldier who let him go. The journalist of this story was interested in Rafael Sanchez Mazas, and he began to collect stories about him, intentionally or unintentionally and decided to be the narrator of this story. The author of the novel is a seeker, not only in search of the details of the story and the forgotten hero but also in pursuit of his dream of becoming an author, which failed in its fi

  I read Amulet this week, and here are some of my notes from the book. I loved Auxilio Lacouture, the narrator of this book, and when I first opened it, I was drawn in by Auxilio Lacouture's offbeat and humorous way of speaking. She describes herself and others, often with some lovely commentary on the side. I felt like I was talking to a close friend, and she would occasionally tell you stories about her daily life and spit them out while you listened and felt relaxed and happy. Her imagination is also rich. When she works with two poets, she constantly tries to understand their psychology and character and convey her impressions of them to the reader. This appropriate side-by-side portrayal does not make the two poets feel too abrupt but naturally brings out the nature of Auxilio Lacouture. Even simply cleaning dust, she associates with a poet's unique romantic thinking the way of life of these dust, the destiny of these dust. The image of a lively and romantic female poet

 I read The Old Gringo this week. The novel's content mainly revolves around the feelings and cultural conflicts of the three protagonists, Harriet Winslow, Tomas Arroyo and Ambrose Bierce (The Old Gringo). At the beginning of the novel, we meet Harriet Winslow, quietly thinking. So the author uses Winslow's perspective to describe everything that happened before in flashbacks. Ambrose Bierce (known in the novel as Old Gringo) is a journalist from the United States. While working for his employer, he constantly used his reporting to complete the task of attacking others. Still, when he continued to use sharp words to expose In the dark society, his relationship with his wife and children also drifted away. Finally, because of his reports, his two sons committed suicide. So Ambrose Bierce began to get tired of being a journalist. He vowed not to write again and came to Mexico to die. On the way to Mexico, he met Tomas Arroyo. Tomas Arroyo, a colonel of the Mexican rebels, took a

This week I read W, or the Memory of Childhood. The article unfolds in two lines, one describing the author's childhood memories and the other telling the story of W the Olympic Island. In the article, the main character, an orphan, takes the eponymous Winkler's place by forging documents to escape military service. The real Winckler is a deaf and autistic child whose mother died in a mysterious shipwreck. Curious about the whereabouts of the real Winckler in the wreck, the investigators find the impostor and analyze the accident with him. Investigators finally analyze shipwreck logs and the harrowing scenes of Winckler's death and speculate that Winckler may have escaped or been abandoned. We don't know what the truth is, and the horrific scenes of the accident are an acceptable way to bring out the senses of the accident. After a brief opening description of the accident that seems to be the introduction, the author unfolds two threads: the story of W Island and his c

  While reading the first part of this book, I was often confused and puzzled by the relationship between Quimet and Natalia because Natalia and Quimet didn't seem happy and happy in their life together. Quimet doesn't seem to care much about the heroine's feelings, nor does he know how to respect the heroine. He would call her "Poor Maria," although he never explained to the hesitant Natalia who she was; his unfounded suspicion hurts Natalia; he wants the hostess to quit her favourite bakery job because of his doubts. When I read this part, I was puzzled about why the heroine abandoned her honest fiancé and chose to marry such a new acquaintance and was often angry with Quimet's behaviour. In my opinion, the heroine makes choices too fast. But then I realized that this might be because of the background of the heroine's era, family background, and the people's attitude. When Natalia needed someone to marry, and everyone around her recommended Quimet,
