Just go read it in its entirety already.
The girl who reads has spun out the account of her life and it is bursting with meaning. She insists that her narratives are rich, her supporting cast colorful, and her typeface bold. You, the girl who reads, make me want to be everything that I am not. But I am weak and I will fail you, because you have dreamed, properly, of someone who is better than I am. You will not accept the life that I told of at the beginning of this piece. You will accept nothing less than passion, and perfection, and a life worthy of being storied.

A very clever and creative piece of writing filled with brilliant mediphores and forign adjectives.
ReplyDeleteHowevere I thought it was full of assumptions (ie. reading = unrealistic goal setting.)
What if this "reader" was infact also an author on goal setting?
What if narratives or fiction books were not the readers choice of text, but instead non fiction or educational books?
Has Charles really come to this conclusion or is it convenient? If so perhaps it would have been pertinent to back it up with some life experience... Afterall at 21 he would only be writing about lives he has himself read about... Many philosophers sat and pondered their ideas and first put them through ardious real life testing before publishing them for public scrutiny.
Overall I liked it but found myself stopping in disagreement with the creative assumptions.
