My Favorite Book

      I read all three books so now, which one is my favorite? I would have to say Into the Wild. It is so interesting because the author, Jon Krakauer, switches up the order of when things happened. He started off the book with a journal entry by Chris McCandless that didn't make any sense at all. Once you read on, you find out that like somewhere in the middle of the book or so, that this was written by him on his trip to Alaska and it all makes sense. He mixes up the order and later on, you find out what it means. I like the author's style of writing, too. It's not all sophisticated and  hard to figure out. There were really fascinating parts of Chris's life. He made a story about a hitchhiker who no one paid attention to really interesting. Everyone just thought that it was Chris's stupid mistake to journey alone into Alaska but Krakauer didn't. He wrote a book on him.
      On Writing comes next. I think King's language could be cleaner. haha. He cusses a lot and is often inappropriate. I like this book because it has 3 main parts: a memoir, the on writing part, and a part on On Living, about how he almost died in a car accident. The only time I read a book with 3 parts was Oedipus Rex, a summer book for the 9th grade, but that's kind of different. I like his tips, especially that one that bans excessive adverbs, but most of them were kind of obvious. Nonetheless, I liked it.
       How To Read Literature Like a Professor wasn't my favorite, at all. Foster used examples from a bunch of books that I never read, or even heard of. It was kind of hard to relate to him because the books weren't familiar. His sentences were pretty long and he used language that was pretty challenging to comprehend. It sure made me use the dictionary a lot! He was pretty funny though, with his little rules. It's never just rain, every trip is a quest(except when it's not), there's only one story, whenever people eat or drink together, it's communion. Creative mind he has there. He made me laugh a few times. I really think he helped with comprehending literature. He got me thinking of different ways I never would've thought of thinking about something. Well, I think that's it for now. Bye!
