Well ... very interesting ... surely more fun than watching paint dry, HaHa, and as a true book lover and writer, personally I found it to be a lot of fun. I don't know your level in school, but it also looked like a lot of hard work just for one project, especially the need for translations from English part. As I believe I've told you before, I'm as old as dirt, so email is my only other method of communication. So, I did love getting an email response from you late (for me), last night on the previous Hemingway topic and will respond back with a few tidbits on him ASAP. Until then I will just say congrats on keeping at this Vlog project ... most enjoyable to be able to follow along with you on this journey. Thank you.
OK - back to Hemingway. After you mentioned that you were reading some of his stuff, I went back and re-read ... The Sun Also Rises ... much the same as all his other stuff - he often had a bad habit of leaving out important things in the storyline that the reader has to fill in by sort of reading between the lines, as they say. In The Sun Also Rises, he leaves out the main thread that holds the entire storyline together - eventually you figure it out, but depending on how astute you are, each reader will figure it out at a different point in the book ... if at all. If you intend to read more of his work, I would suggest you read his ... True At First Light ... his last book that was published after he committed suicide. OR ... to better understand the man, himself, as well as his writing, I highly recommend ... Papa Hemingway ... by his longtime friend A. E. Hotchner - a very good biography and personal memoir.
Where are you from? Because for me I'm grade 10 out of 12 for me it is the start of secondary school.(In the UK I would be in grade 12 now). I am also attending a school that is more focused on getting pupils ready for university and it brings more workload onto me. However, yes, main reason for such workload is the amount of resources not translated/made in latvian, which is the language if most of my subjects. And to touch on the subject of Hemingway, thank you sincerely for the recommendations. I am already putting them into my big list of books I want to read haha. Will definitely check those titles because I do want to give Hemingway another go!
@@annasbookhub I own a farm on the central Oregon coast, USA, where I raise beautiful Texas Longhorn cattle. I'm 78 - been collecting books since I was your age. I also write books and I have 5 published as ebooks on Amazon Books. You can check out a bit of my bio there and even read samples for free - buy if you like, but please don't feel obligated - I write for fun, not to make money. I basically just publish them there for easy access by my family and friends. The titles are ... Last Stand in God's Valley (murder at a clearcut logging protest) - Memento Mori (diamond smuggling) - The Vermeer Paradigm (world famous art heist) - Xavie - Melody of the Night (child prodigy violinist - set in the Louisiana bayous in 1935) - Memories of Exotica (a high school prom). I have 2 other completed manuscripts just now ready to copyright this week - one all mine, one co-authored with a friend from Moldova who was an exchange student at our HS several years ago and on a Speech Team I used to coach. Once the copyrighting is completed , I would be happy to email you the actual working file of one (or both), before they go on Amazon, so that you could be the first person to ever read one. Just a thought ...
Me again - you're probably sick of me already. HaHa! But I was just now looking for a book in my own collection and thought about all the heavy stuff you were showing us - like you, I read pretty much all the classisc in my teens, and have gone back and re-read most of them a time or two since. But the thought crossed my mind to suggest to you a few titles you might find to be a (possibly welcome) change from all those heavy classics. To wit : Going Bovine, by Libba Bray : Green Girl, by Kate Zambreno (one of my all-time favorite books) : The Glass Castle, by Jeannette Walls (a true story of her youth) : The Life Before Her Eyes, by Laura Kasischke : The Madonnas of Leningrad, by Debra Dean : Summer of '42, by Herman Raucher (this is actually a true story from Raucher's teens) : Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll (an excellent read when your brain is just fried and you want to escape to literally "anywhere else"). Anyway, it was just a thought because you work so hard and reading just for fun soothes both the brain and the soul.
the algorithm is doing its thing. cool video
Damn what a coincidence I submitted my 16 page paper yesterday I would have loved to work along someone during the process 😩
Oh I hope you get the grade you want to and good luck on your studies!!!
