Starting a new book
Arhama A.
I just began a book called, Mindspeak, by Heather Sunseri. The setting takes place in the present, however, it is a book that shows a bit of an alternate universe. This is because the characters seem to be capable of abilities that we are not. The story takes place in a school called Wellington Boarding School, in Midland, Kentucky. Wellington is a high school, where the main character, Lexi Matthews, is a senior.
A line in the book which shows good example of imagery is, “I looked out across the school’s front lawn. A perfect mid-September day in Midland, Kentucky. The leaves on the trees had begun to change a little—a mix of red and gold among mostly green. A good day to walk around campus and introduce fresh eyes to Wellington, I supposed(Sunseri, 9).” This allows the reader to picture a vivid scene of an autumn day. I really enjoy how the author can incorporate such little details throughout the story. I believe that the plot of this story is very intriguing, and I cannot wait to read more.
From how you described it, this book sounds really good! I think it is cool how the author can take the time to describe things so in depth; like the way the author describes the leaf. I can't wait for you to blog more about this book so I can learn more about it.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm glad that you find interest in this book, I would highly recommend it. Please let me know if you read it.
DeleteGood work. Your quote is a great example of imagery but at the same time is realistic for what a character would observe. Hope you enjoy the book!
