This will probably be my last question on LA for a while. Just saying. But can someone help me understand what this means and how do I answer it, "What impact did the novel have on you as a reader"? I can answer the other one.
What impact did the novel have on you as a reader? Would you recommend the novel to a friend? Why or why not? Support your response with at least two pieces of evidence from the novel.
(Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech)
Did anything in the novel have any meaning to you? Was it just a story about people you don't know, or does anything about it remind you of your own life or the lives of anyone around you? Can you feel at all sympathetic or empathetic toward the characters and situations? Did the novel help you understand more about people who are not just like you? Answer any of those questions.
Just say the truth. No I would not recommend this book to my friends. I didn't find a rhythm when I was reading this story. It was painful. I didn't like the characters, I didn't understand the story. It kept jumping from the past to the present and I couldn't follow it. There.
To answer the question, "What impact did the novel have on you as a reader?", you need to reflect on how the book influenced your thoughts, feelings, or perspective. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you answer this question:
1. Begin by thinking about your initial expectations and assumptions before reading the novel. What were you expecting to gain from the reading experience?
2. As you read the novel, pay attention to the various elements such as the plot, characters, themes, and writing style. Take notes or highlight sections that particularly resonated with you or made you think deeply.
3. Start writing your response by acknowledging the impact the novel had on you. Did it evoke strong emotions like joy, sadness, or anger? Did it make you question certain beliefs or consider new perspectives? Did it inspire you to take action?
4. Next, explain how the novel specifically influenced your thoughts, feelings, or perspective. Provide specific examples or scenes from the book that made a lasting impression on you. Analyze why these particular moments had an impact and what they revealed about the story or the characters.
5. Lastly, it's crucial to support your response with at least two pieces of evidence from the novel. Find relevant quotes, dialogues, or specific events that illustrate your points. These pieces of evidence will strengthen your answer and show that you truly engaged with the text.
As for whether you would recommend the novel to a friend, follow a similar approach. Consider the strengths and weaknesses of the book, the themes it explores, and whether you think your friend would appreciate or benefit from reading it. Use examples from the novel to support your recommendation. Keep in mind that answering this question also involves providing a balanced perspective, explaining any reservations you might have about recommending the book.
Good luck with your response!
