Week #7

The last week before we went into break was a busy week. We got to turn in our projects and write our 2nd in class essay about our books. I think I did good job on my essay I tried my best to concentrate on it. My essential question was how does the author create his/her characters in order to make a the story a love one? In "Finding Perfect" by Susan Mallery, Mallery made a good job creating both of his characters in a way that makes them so lovely and beautiful together. Just like in the Nicholas Sparks books the characters are good looking making them a perfect couple. Also the both characters carry a past that doesn't let them trust again. Raoul the main character in "Finding Perfect" was hurt by his ex wife, because of what happened to them Raoul wouldn't trust Pia (the other main character). It wasn’t Pia’s fault which made the story intense. They both face bad backgrounds which makes the reader want them together more. Just like in any love story we wish we could talk to the characters and let them know they are wrong and that they should love that person who they have on their side. Also in love story we wish we could be on the characters place and have that loving partner that only exist in love books, movies, or fairytales. All this feelings that come to the reader while reading a love story are all the same, so that’s also something I have notice in love books.
