Snow White: Childhood

Every child knows it and reads it. It is a simple story. There are the bad people and there are the good guys. I thought, it's a classical tale of jealousy and winning something because Snow White really is a good person.
To me, Snow White was interesting. It was just a flat character, and I didn't feel much for it, but, the story was what I was knowing slowly. I thought the Queen, the Princess' step mother was cruel.
Regardless, I think it's better for the princess to leave the palace and find shelter.
I liked the story because there were contrasts between the elements. The typical good versus evil plot. The dwarfs and Snow White are hardworking in the story. Also, there was the Step Mother who seemed lazy and uneasy.
The settings are the forest and the palace. To me, it was like my childhood. There was my house and there was the forest. My house was not a palace, but there were trees where I lived. Anyway, it felt real for me I guess.
Basically it was dramatic. I somehow learned something from it. I thought... It was okay. I thought... maybe I liked it as a child because I could not understand anything too subtle.
Ultimately, I did like it, but I forgot why. I thought, it was because it made sense. I was young. So I thought... It was a worthy story to know about, and it was something that I can relate to.
The step mother was like an external force to children in preventing them being happy. And so maybe that was why. But this was not something I knew until a few years later, after I've been given some thought, and being an adult.

The perks of being a wallflower: Teenhood

I kept on thinking this book was rated because it was scary. But, children most likely won't understand it.
As a teen, I lived through a high school that was similar to Charlie's. I was like an outsider, but I did have friends. I was kinda like Charlie, but not really. I think it was because I'm a girl, and he's a boy.
It was awesome, when I read the book. I loved it, because it seemed real, but... I didn't see high school that way.
This is a criticism, I suppose. However, I didn't think it mattered. I still believe in that opinion. It was because it's a fictional story about someone named Charlie, and he had issues.
I thought... they all did, all the characters. I wouldn't say it was the most typical in growing up, but it did mention it. I believe it dramatized and magnified all of the problems in teenhood.
I felt for it, but not as much as Snow White. I guess it was because I read Snow White when I was younger. But as anyone can see, PERKS, is different than a fairy tale.
The ending is even somehow hurtful to the characters. I felt... there was no happy ending. It was like... the beginning was the best.
There was a tragic feeling... that the news was brocken at the very end. There was suspense, and there was sadness... and the story ended.
It wasn't pleasant, but... I guess some stories are like that. I'm okay with it.
For one note, I never thought Charlie was abnormal... in the beginning, he was kinda like me... but later... after he got some friends... he wasn't like me.
Of course, there's nothing personal. It was good, but the story was quite sad.
VERY SAD.

The time traveller's wife: Adulthood

It was... romantic, but tragic.
I thought... Claire was... sad in the end. I thought... the writing was beautiful, but... I don't quite remember... A long time ago, I used to think their dialogues are not as personalized. I think... It could be better.
But of course, it was good enough. I just thought... wait a minute... while I was reading before bedtime, was it Claire or Henry? I mixed up the dialogues without looking at the names...
Anyway, for some reason, I kept on thinking about that.
I haven't watched the movie. I saw glimpse of it on TV. I don't really want to watch it now.
It's too tragic... but at that time, so many tragic things happened. It was the 2000's...
Maybe it was because of that.
