If I were to change something about my book, it would be to make a vicissitude in the amount of historical knowledge the reader must have to understand the plot. Although the author seems to be tendetious about the history of the Jacobites, I myself am no aficionado of such history! The persona of Claire, the main character, tries to stop the rebellion because she has knowledge of the foray due to the fact she had fallen through the matrix of time. I will have to admit, however, that my interest in the historical references are commensurate to my interest in the characters' conflicts...so this genre of historical fiction has encouraged (nearly browbeat me)to conduct some historical research!

If I were to change my book, I would change the way that they keep putting back Bruces' *obsequies. They keep putting it off and his family really wants him to have a burial. They were supposed to have the burial after that mornings *homily. Another thing that I would make a *vicissitude towards the part where Chole is flipped upside down in her car. That was sooo scary.
I think that they should do it a little less scary.I think they need to promote or *tendentious the fact that they all love God.
I think that that is very important to the plot of story.
One more thing that they should change is the way that the captain had *prurient desires towards the stuards on the plane. I think that this is something that could have been taken out.
The *Foray of the GC officars is very well needed. I want this story to end happily

Today I finished reading girl at sea! It was a book in my favorite genre fiction. My main characters name was Clio she was an art aficionado and worked at an art store when she was back in the United States. If I could change some things about Clio I wouldn't have had he be so snoopy and made so many forays into the other passenger’s rooms. Even though Clio felt immured by the matrix she was in throughout the novel she seemed to be way too nosy. I also wish she wouldn’t have lied so much.

The book I read today was The Things they Carried. Its genre is fiction. In the book they go on multiple foray missions while fighting in Vietnam. I would change the fact that it didn't give Ted Lavender proper obsequies. I also would change that Lieutenant Jim Cross made the picture of Martha a sacrosanct by looking at it constantly. I don’t like the persona of Martha and how she has no feelings for Lieutenant Cross and I even feel like she is messing with his heart.

One thing I would change about my book is i would tell more about the matrix of the story. All it tells about is the persona in the book store. it is great that the main character is an aficionado for video games but it could tell what he does or where he goes in the suronding of the store. It also talks about how the girl who works in the game store is very prurient to the main character. so if i could those would be the vicisstudes that i would make to my story.

If I was to make any vicissitudes with my book, it would be to make the plot move along a little bit faster. Although i will admit that Mary and the King are prurient and love each others' company. I would write it so that the Queen feels less immured because she can no ling have children. The men in this book are always being tendentious, especially with the women. I think that everyone should be commenstrate.

i would change my book by making the main character more positive. she seems really negative all the time. every obstacle that comes her way seems to browbeat her. this booked looked like its genre would be happy and uplifting but so far it's not. she really seems like she immures herself from the people around her, even her husband. i think the book will get better though and she will have panache. so hopefully this book eventually has some vicissitudes to it....

If I were to make a vicissitude in my book, I would remove most of the tendentious homily's and replace them with many entertaining philippic's. I am not an aficionado of long boring lectures about how I should act to get into heaven and how I should do a good turn daily or whatever. If you havent got it yet I read the Bible.

Today I started reading Wicked by Gregory Maguire. If I were going to change anything about my book it would be to make one of the main characters more of the type to make a homily, and a bit more caring. He seems so insouciant about his wife and her having a baby that I almost think he knows he is not the father. Though he is already a sacrosanct man I think his character needs to be a little stronger. Also, the persona of his wife bothers me. She seems so stuck up that the two just don't fit. Hopefully, there will be some vicissitudes very soon.

I finished reading A Bend in the Road. I really enjoyed this novel. Maybe I will check out some of Nicholas Sparks's other novels. One of the vicissitudes that I would make in this book is that I would have the persona of Miles, the main character, immure the killer. I didn't like that he forgave him so fast.
I started reading another book called Breaking Point by Suzanne Brockmann. It is under the fiction genre. It is about a commander of an elite counterterrorism unit. He discovers that the woman he loves has died in a cafe bombing. He goes to Germany and fears attending her obsequy, but discovers that they identified the wrong woman. He goes on a search for her. I can't wait to finish it.

Today I was reading a book called Three Doors Too Death by Rex Stout. A member of the mystery genre, the book continues the series on Nero Wolf,the insouciant and brilliant detective. If I were to change anything about this book it would be the persona of Wolf.Being something of a Wolf aficionado, I truly believe that if Wolf were a little more compassionate and browbeat his clients less, the book would be a better read.

I would change the homily in my story. then also i would make the units foray more intense. i would also give donovan a bigger emolument. the phillipic from the shrink to donovan was cruel. id change that. last id give donovans persona a little more panache.

I continued reading The Things They Carried. If I could change something about my book it would be about the main character. He is so obsessed with this girl named Martha. He is too scared to let her know how he feels though. I want him to tell her because i feel like she would feel the same way. The things she sends him are sacrosanct to him. He was an aficionado of her, and he always had prurients for her. After he felt like it was his fault that one of his soldiers was killed he gave himself a philippic but there was no formal obsequies for him.

Unknown said...

Well I would not change anything about the book that I picked up today. One Flew Over The Cukoos Nest is absolutely a sacrosanct. It is immured to any amending what so ever. You see...Mr. McMurphy is a rebel and the police catch him and throw him into a mental institution where these literally crazy "SOBs"(as Mr. McMurphy calls them) frantically shout and have philippics with each other. He tries to bring some fun to these special eds becauese their matrix is dull and depressing. But there is a problem...the head nurse is a mean old bat who just has the worst persona. The ending is actually really sad and will make you very angry. The book is good, the movie is one of the greatest of all time...Read it or Watch it! P.S. Jack Nicholson is in the movie...AWESOME.

If i could change something about my book, i would make a vicissiude on not having an obsequies for Alex's uncle Ian who has died in a car crash. Which that is what they think. His uncle had a panache look. This insouciant guy did not deserve this. Alex does not believe it was just a car crash. He knows that there is more to the story when he finds bullet holes in the window of his car. But so far its good. Cant wait to finish it!!

I would have to make a vicissitude in how the kid quit the football team. In the ironman the english teacher/football coach wasnt very commensurate between his work and coaching. If i was Bo Brewster i would get my obsequies ready because hes going to die soon. There is a this part where Bo and the english teacher have a philippic against eachother which ends up being pretty funny. The only way to make it better would be for Bo to have a foray and beat the crap out of his coach. But he has to go to anger managment so ya he pretty much failed at life.

Anonymous said...

I would change Iron Man in every way possible. The persona that Bo Brewster plays is just too cocky. The author should have taken it easy on him. Also, with Bo's cocky attitude, he self proclaims himself to be a football aficionado. This book try's way to hard to be rough.

The book is World War Z, the genre of the zombie book is horror. This book is good but I would deffinatly make some changes. I am a somewhat an aficionado of zombie books so I am enjoying this book. Most zombie books are no where near diaphanous,they are mostly very dark and scary. This book is a collection of stories of point of view on the zombie breakout. I enjoy reading books with a main character so I can really get into it, but this book has many different stories. The persona changes a lot throughout World War Z. Also the matrix of the book changes with each story.

Bill,
It sounds like this book that you picked up, is a little racey. It sounds like there is alot of violent people and crazy people in it. I dont think that I would like reading about it when we see it every day in our society!
But good for you for reading.

Unknown said...

Bill,
I own that movie i really like it. My dad absolutely loves and and has read the book as well. Maybe i will have to read the book too.

I also think i would like to start reading the things they carried. It sounds like a good book. Dan and Sara are both reading it and I've also heard from one of my friends it was a really good read.

Anonymous said...

Bill I have heard people talk about that movie before. They told me it was amazing and that Jack Nicholson does a really good job at playing his character. To address Tyler Thompson (who we all are)how can the book be that bad? The movie was really good. Is the book anything like the book?

Anonymous said...

Tyler i agree with Dan that was a very good movie so why is the book so bad? and Bill i have never heard of that movie or book. i think i might try to find it and watch it sometime. it sounds pretty good.

Unknown said...

Katie, I started to read Wicked and, although it was slow at the begining, it starts to pick up. I have yet to finish it. I really want to though. I have heard nothing but great reviews about both the book and the musical.

Unknown said...

Corey, your book seems interesting. Who is the author?
Todd, I would enjoy a good mystery right now. What do you suggest?
Bill, I have never read or seen One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, but you make it sound interesting. What do you like most about it?

Unknown said...

Jack Nicholson is in the movie? awsome im gona go buy it. tyler i just have to say that the book sucked more then the movie. true bo brewster is overated though. hopefully one day somebody will make a movie that meets your standards rotfl.

PS: this will never happen

Unknown said...

Well Tyler it sounds like you dont like your book to much! And you only used one vocabulary word. tisk tisk! But heyy i think that guy sounds like the real deal. Wow dan good use of vocabulary words. i heard that book was a really good one. Ive heard so many good compliments about it. We should get together sometime at lunch and alk about it. Maybe we could even read it together with a book on tape. Well all of gods childeren thats all the time i have for tody. See you next time in on the blog spot.

amd hayley, i understand what you mean when you say people are always negative all the time! I hate when people are negative! im a happy person! i like being around possitve things.

Unknown said...

Jenica...One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest is great. It is appropriately rated #8 on IMBD's 250 greatest movies ever!!! I love Jack Nicholson's character Mr. McMurphy. And I love "Chief"!!! He is a big indian in the mental ward who never talks and is made up to be really dumb or mentally challenged. But after Mr. McMurphy and him fight some of the ward's guardsmen...they are sitting on a bench outside the head nurses office and McMurpy says you want some gum chief? And Chief takes it and chews it and finally says something...like an hour into the film...he goes "mmmm Juicy Fruit". Hahah great line. He turns out to be really intelligent..he jsut refuses to speak lol. BTW a younf Danny Devito is in it too!

Becca!!! Yes, it is as racey as can be but it is absolutely hillarious. And as for the "crazy people" i mean they're metally retarded what else would you expect?? But being racey and crazy it holds its own in being truly one of the greatest books/movies ever made. Watch it!
