Its 3:07am as i start My latest entry in the world of permanent words, Not to be erased by any mere man. There's so much that could be discussed, Not all of it worthy of writing down, not due to lack of importance or weight. Simply its not something i feel need be shared with a whole world, of people who wouldnt appreciate it. So this might be a book review, could end up something totally different.
Ive finished Five books this past month, Blue like jazz, A Wrinkle In Time,Fahrenheit 451 ,1984 and i will soon finish, the CATCHER in the RYE. These are all great books in my opinion. Blue like jazz, i hate to say is a christian book, not to say that christian books are a bad thing, But many if not a 9 out of ten, are very cheesey, Un inspired, cliche, Five steps to get what you want from God books. This book is NOTHING, let me say nothing of the sort, It takes you thru the journey of a man,that i can very much relate to, as he go's thru his Walk in life.It points out what many people really think of christians as, A bunch of nose pointed, Muslim hating, Republicans. And how sad he becomes at this, because thats not what it should be about. It also very readily talks about the doubts any real person would come in contact with. i could go on, But ill let you read and discover it on and in your own way if you so choose.
A wrinkle in time, well as i read thru school, during school, at home, at lunch. People so often pointed out, "oh i loved that book,when i was ten.." Yes it is a childrens book, But it has the childlike nature, To close your eyes, spin around, clap your hands three times, and suddenly your "tesserd"to a whole nother universe, Where your imagination takes you on a trip to your hopes fears and Imaganitive whims. It instills i guess what you would call good ethics. It brings you back to the place where a cardboard box as castle, Yet also has many deeper thoughts, Of being different and such. Also a very good book, which will forever stay on my shelf, But never with enough time for dust to collect on it.
i cant say to much about the catcher in the rye, Im not far enough into it
AND fahrenheit 451, a sad story about, how technology can dehumanize a society as quick as it can put us on its shoulder and carry us up a mountain. Made me realize how important idea's are, Knowledge. Idea's to be carried and thrived upon, To not be closed minded, to not live pleasure to pleasure. A world without true freedom and ability to express one's self, and Let your mind be expanded, is a oppresive world. That starts to unravel at its very seams, from those seams burst forth Hate, violence, And silent depression. A failed society will someday without doubt, destroy itself by any means neceesary
1984
Much like 451, a very oppresive society, Where you are forced to think one way, Knowing its false, But knowing by accepting that it is false you understand its not false but true,by being false it allows itself to also be true, Doublethink. The man who thinks outside of the box, Who screams silently with frustration, at the wrongness of his society, ultimatly is killed for it, inside more then out. He knows there is something profoundly wrong, That human nature, must somehow know that we are not all supposed to be the same, to think the same.
(ide like nothing more then to continue my love of these books,to give more adiquate descriptions but my thumb is way to sore for some reason, So that will be all)
Appreciating the freedom we enjoy
