RE: RedHens Writing Advice: Life Lessons and Books
Super smooth response @redhens! I'm glad you eventually found an answer. How ironic I've also read the book and seen the movie. As for the book, I thought the ending was brilliant: one of the best endings to a novel I've ever read. The story is fantastical yet the writing is so good I found it totally credible.
As for my own favourite character, it has to be Winston Smith from Orwell's '1984'.
I became enthralled in the story; I felt for the characters, particularly Winston, and I grew to hate Big Brother and the state of Oceania as the story progressed. I wanted nothing more than for the state to fall and Winston to instigate it.
I suppose I'm just an ole' Steemian anarchist at heart.<3
UV & RS.
Thanks for answering my Q ... "and as always ... Steem on Trilby!"
MH.<3
That's exactly how I felt about the ending of Life of Pi. I closed the book and just sat in silence for a minute, thinking "Wow."
I hate to admit it, but I have yet to read 1984. I'll have to bump that one up on my list. Seems like it should be mandatory reading, but somehow I haven't gotten to it yet. :-)
Trilby, Orwell's '1984' really scared me to death at age 15 at English class in school. I read it again recently and it still scares me to death!!
It's a mandatory read for an rebel Steemian on here :) 1984 was meant to be a warning - not an instruction manual for the Deep State! I won't tell you Winston's fate, but the battle he started must continue on ....
Steem on! ....
P.S. How would an author describe you as a character in a book? :)
