WHAT MAKES A GREAT BOOK

LOIS KRISTY T. HERVIAS  BSHM3-C
Literature 1             TTH 5:30-7:00 PM

1.WHAT MAKES A GREAT BOOK?
Great book have great characters. Characters we can love. Characters we can hate. Characters we can root for. Characters we want to hang out with. Characters we want to be. I believe great characters are the most important part of a great book.
Great books also have great plots. Plots that matter. Plots that make our hearts pound and linger with us long after we put the book down. Great plots stem from great characters.
Great books also have a strong sense of setting. We feel like we are there, whether it's New York City, a small country farm, or a faraway fantasy kingdom. We can see it, smell it, feel it, live in it. It's so much more than just the geography. It's the culture, the history and everything else culminating in a place so real we can visit it again and again in our mind.
Great books have real emotion. They make us feel something. Joy, pain, love, hate, envy, peace. Great books bring out the strongest emotions inside us. They show us what it is to be human.

2. WHAT IS CLASSIC?
A classic usually expresses some artistic quality--an expression of life, truth, and beauty.
A classic stands the test of time. The work is usually considered to be a representation of the period in which it was written; and the work merits lasting recognition. In other words, if the book was published in the recent past, the work is not a classic.

A classic has a certain universal appeal. Great works of literature touch us to our very core beings--partly because they integrate themes that are understood by readers from a wide range of backgrounds and levels of experience. Themes of love, hate, death, life, and faith touch upon some of our most basic emotional responses.

A classic makes connections. You can study a classic and discover influences from other writers and other great works of literature. Of course, this is partly related to the universal appeal of a classic. But, the classic also is informed by the history of ideas and literature--whether unconsciously or specifically worked into the plot of the text.

3. WHAT IS LITERARY MASTERPIECE?
A literary masterpiece is part of the literary canon, which denotes a canon of books that have been the most important and influential in shaping Western culture.

4. WHAT ARE THE STANDARDS/CRITERIA FOR ONE TO BECOME A MASTERPIECE?
To be a masterpiece, and hence, part of the canon, the work needs to be approved by critics, the public and his contemporaries. In order to gain such approval, it has to have certain qualities, in terms of thought, originality, stylistically brilliant, insightful... etc. It also needs to withstand the test of time in order to be immortalized as such.

5. WHAT IS A LITERARY CANON?
The term "literary canon" refers to a classification of literature. It is a term used widely to refer to a group of literary works that are considered the most important of a particular time period or place. For example, there can be a literary canon comprised of works from a particular country, or works written within a specific set of years, or even a collection of works that were all written during a certain time period and within a certain region. In this way, a literary canon establishes a collection of similar or related literary works.

my journal

     As my day started to run, i feel in my soul the greatness of God for He gave me a whole new day to explore and add another memory to my storage files. i hear the loud voice air breezing saying "its a good day for enjoyment. i cherish the time as it runs slow like a turtle trying to reach something as it move slowly to the finish line & tic!tac!tic!tac! the sound of the clock telling me that i must start my daily routine. i played the songs of the Country music princess Taylor Swift and its like singing my story as i breath everyday of my life.

    The musical notes are dancing around me. it makes me feel that i am a princess in my own castle. As the music plays i hear the sounds of a coming horse tigidig!tigidig! And it brings my prince. He enters to the door of my castle. The song singing “he is your prince coming from the castle that will protect you from all ogres and extra terrestrial unidentified mankind". And I heard a loud noise coming from somewhere tiiic!tac!tiiic!tac! The clock tickling and it all ends. Thank you Mr. Sun for that awesome day dreaming.
    I smile like there's no ending, my heart beats fast. I’m afraid it would burst! Love can't be defined you'll just found out that man is all that makes you smile all day. While singing, my story is walking through the sidewalks of Manhattan. Not so far and not so close just enough to come through. I'd never expect to reach some of my dreams perhaps i did expect. Oh love!oh life! They blend on time.

reaction to the video "everybody's free to wear sunscreen".

in the video everybody's free to wear sunscreen, i have some understandings that everything that we have is not for permanence. the time will come your beauty, active body all that we have will eventually come to its ending. our face will become wrinkled even we keep on going to "vicky belo" or "dermaline" it will not go back to its natural beauty. God gave us these for us to enjoy not for a long time but in just time. we don't have to abuse our body we make things in the right time. don't bother what others may say to you they don't even know you better. all what is happening to us is all good memories they will be somehow remembered but bare in mind if one event doesn't happened to you what you are now well in fact will not be you as now. receive all the happenings just enjoy them because they make you a better person.don't stress your self too much because it will gain you nothing.I also realized that whatever happens simply be humble, expect all that will happen because God always provide the best space for us in the world.

reaction to the song "we are young"

In the song we are young. It is giving a clear message to every youth that we need to find and develop our skills and talent while we can before it gets too late that in the end of the day we keep on saying “What if we do that?, what if we do this?”. There is no wrong if we express our feelings, thoughts in the way that we want. There is always a room for improvement. Don’t be afraid on what others will say to you the important thing is you are confident that you’re not wasting your life in drug addiction and other things that in the end you will just repent because you cannot get back the time that you ready wasted for such thing that destroy your body & the opportunities come to you but you chose the wrong path. So while you are young live life on the best that you can. It might give you not only the success but also the fulfillment that every person is wishing for them to happen. Don’t limit yourself on the things that you usually done for the rest of your life. Get out on your own way show others what you can do for life is limited you may not have what others owned but God has something for you. It is just waiting for you to him to be discovered.

NATURE

nature brightens our life like a light

people tries to burn it's land by night

calamities are now coming by,

each time we destroy them they die.

some animals becoming extinct

we make them pets just to be distinct

what can we do for them not to die

each time we destroy them they die.

dynamite fishing vanish their homes

to fetch those kind of dishy fishes

no more waiting to come for the pine

each time we destroy them they die.

if we don't keep them as lasting

we suffer in our own self-serving

i have pity on what's happening 

each time we destroy them they die.

free verse

Dreams

Dreams can be achieve to thee

Thy dreams can make us believe

Thou leave no fear to see

for dreams gives us hope to stand still.

Dreams are not easy to pick

But worth a thousand sweat to leave.

There are dreams that are not meant but

for someone who eagerly wants to

reach their dreams no one can block

over them. If not for thou, shall see

the sunshine comes after so be it.

God always wants us to believe 

that we have the heaven to climb

Just keep on struggling for he

is with us. The right time is coming

Just keep on believing.

Live life on the path that should take

to wake up on the dreams we made

So pick the dreams to be

And delighted on what it would be.

Our tomorrow is waiting for us.

ACROSTIC

Joining the spirit of a new beginning
Aspirations are now singing
Nothing will compare you to others who keep on defining
Until you have already reach the tower of glory
After all keep the faith that you have been bringing
Rather than bury them up to nothing will remain
You’ll regret if you choose not to be in his mindful up bringing.
