hello my dears what better way to learn to write than to read. here is a little fragment from good books and a few tips and comments on the writing style. I will be doing this every sunday too so here It is!
the two classics I'm gonna read are: 1. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, and
2. The wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
1. Wuthering Heights:
the ledge where I placed my candle had a few mildewed books piled up on one corner; and it was covered with writing scratched on the paint. this writing however was nothing but a name repeated in all kinds of characters, large and small - Catherine Earnshaw; here and there varied to Catherine Linton. in vapid listlessness I leant my head against the window, and continued spelling over Catherine Earnshaw - Heathcliff - Linton, till my eyes closed; but they had not rested five minutes when a glare of white letters started from the dark, as vivid as spectres - the air swarmed with Catherines.
I could go on forever this is my favorite passage from this beautifully written book I couldn't help but read the book in an english accent and the lyricism of this book is amazing!
2. The Wizard of Oz:
while dorothy was looking earnestly into the queer painted face of the scarecrow she was surprised to see one of the eyes slowly wink at her. She thought she must have been mistaken at first, for none of the scarecrows in Kansas ever wink; but presently the figure nodded it's head to her in a friendly way then she climbed down from the fence and walked up to it, Toto ran around the pole and barked.
This is more of a choppy, funny writing style but it is still a great book though I prefer the latter.
