Scarlet Letter book ooh shivers
Recently we've been reading the Scarlet Letter in class, so now I've decided I can finally talk freely of it because it's something good to analyze and prove my thought on.
Why does the Scarlet Letter make me frustrated while reading? Frist of all the text is small, so there are more words per page. This causes me to become uncomfortable because I'm used to reading larger text. Therefore I cannot get into the book as much because I'm spending too much time trying to connectrate on reading the words so I don't loose my place.
Yet there is another down side.
In my opinion the author spends too much time trying to explanation things like details, or emotions. For example a single paragraph could take up the whole page just on explaining how someone felt or their surroundings! Thus because there is too much detail it boggles (or overwhelms) the reader. The reader can begin to loose interest because they are not always concerned about itty bitty details. Thus because the reader looses interest they can begin to loose their place and not understand what's happening in the story.
Also another thing that I dislike about the book is the vocabulary. Sure I can look up words but I come across so many that I don't know! Because of this I tend to get more frustrated because I don't understand the sentence or what's happening. Plus the author sort of uses old english (yes I understand this book was written a long long time ago) which can annoying. This is because the reader is not used to speaking (or writing) old english so it just seems unnatural and can further push the reader to loose interest.
Yes dispite my comments I do like the Scarlet Letter (somewhat) because I've never read it, but I've heard about it, so I was naturally curious about the book. Hey but now you know why I dislike reading books that have very small text. :) (although maybe I've just been reading too many Harry Potter books ;))
