It seems in this book that the characters are acting like their happy. The reason why I'm saying this is because the whole mood of this book is right now depressing. The main character is always negative in his life after losing from the election. He keeps on saying "kill Jesus" which shows the depression of the main character and emphacizes the mood of this story. That is not the only thing....The secret that John had in the Vietnam war seems to crack up his relationship with Kathie. Anyway, I have to say the truth.. The book is right now boring....Until Kathie has suddenly dissappeared one night! John starts to search for her and asks the neighborhood, but they do not know...

In my opinion, I think the girl ran away... I don't know why but I just think she ran away for some reason. I am thinking of reading the rest of the novel by next weekend.

Through reading this story, this book is first explaining about what the character was like in his past. The main character's child hood was mainly based on the fact that his own father has abused him verbally and emotionally. Even though his father had died, instead of happiness or sadness, all he felt was anger... Anger toward the fact that his father had died. The author had not shown the exact reason on why he was angry enough to make a mess on his father's funeral. After his father's death, the main characer met this girl in highschool, whom he loved. So he spied on her, not on the fact that he was seriously obsessed with her but with the fact that he couldn't believe in her whether she is going out with someone else or not.
Right now, all the book is showing about these stuff and the main plot is not yet coming out. Still the author gives kind of some clues with testimonies and evidence from interviews and flashbacks. I am having great patience over this book and willing to wait for the main plot to come out.

Lyrics related to the characterization that I have made

So sick (Artist: Ne-yo)
Mmmm mmm yeahDo do do do do do do-doOhh Yeah

Gotta change my answering machineNow that I'm aloneCuz right now it says that weCan't come to the phoneAnd I know it makes no senseCuz you walked out the doorBut it's the only way I hear your voice anymore(it's ridiculous)It's been monthsAnd for some reason I just(can't get over us)And I'm stronger than this(enough is enough)No more walkin round. With my head down, I'm so over being blue. Cryin over you

And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tearsSo done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
Gotta fix that calender I have
That's marked July 15th Because since there's no more you
There's no more anniversary I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you
And your memory And how every song reminds me Of what used to be That's the reason I'm so sick of love songs So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still hereSaid I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
(Leave me alone)Leave me alone
(Stupid love songs)Dont make me think about her smile Or having my first child I'm letting go Turning off the radio
Cuz I'm so sick of love songs So tired of tears So done with wishing she was still here Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?(why can't I turn off the radio?)
Said I'm so sick of love songs So tired of tearsSo done with wishing she was still here Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
(why can't I turn off the radio?)
And I'm so sick of love songsSo tired of tears
So done with wishin' you were still hereSaid I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow Why can't I turn off the radio?(why can't I turn off the radio?)Why can't I turn off the radio?

This is related to the theme of my characterization because it shows that he was in love, but after she dumped him he is so sick of love songs because he just failed to be in love. He is trying to delete all the related items with the girl he like and he is crying, these shows that he is depressed and lonely.

Characterization(This is not based on me so don't say anything)

There was a guy who had no friends. He would try to make friends but the kids in his school would back talk about him because of what he looks like. Even all the girls would hate him because of his appearence and ignore him. But the guy always had his eyes on this one girl who would always be nice to him. He couldn't stop thinking about that girl. He would be nice to her, and make ways on how to talk with this girl more often. He didn't have any friends to discuss about this and so he asked the girl out, but she rejected him with a smack on his face. So the guy didn't eat food for weeks and couldn't get a smile on his face.

The book that I started to read last week is called "In the lakes of the woods." I don't really now its fun because I only read a few, but the few I read was kind of boring to me. I like mystery, twisters and suspense. Right now, this book didn't really seem as a book filled with mysteries. Its not my rights to judge the book, but I wished the author would have start some mysterious events at the first part. Because the first part of books determines the reader whether or not it is fun. I mean the book felt like a romance book which I don't really like. The first part was all about his life and what hooked up his wife and himself. Right now in the book, I can't really find any mysterious elements but what I found interesting was the foreshadowing that the author shown in the book by the title:"Interview." At first, I thought this was some sort of introduction of the book, but I see that it is an important part of the book. That was the only interesting thing I could ever find. But books can change, so I would like to read this book more, and find out what will happen next.

After reading the book "It" author by Steven King, Although all these swear words, sexual things, and gore events came out in that book, it was the horror that I was kind of finding for. After reading that book, I found out that Steven King was a famous author in horror and almost all of his publis;hed books were bestsellers. So I searched for one of his books and found a book called "Cell." I read this during the summer break and it was great! The new idea of using the most commonly used device as a start for human extinction. But the things I was not happy was because the author actually didn't tell anything about why the whole thing happened and the story's scale was basically small. Its events were similar to the novel "War of Worlds" which there is one man running around for survival. The book didn't actually fit as a "book," but it actually fitted as a movie. If it came out as a movie, it would have been popular because of the suspense and action. There were not that much elements of horror in the book, but there was alot of action and suspense. I expected horror to cool off the heat of my summer, but this time, Steven King didn't reach my expectations. It was a good book, but it was not the best book to recomend for.

During Chuseok Break, I read the book Angels and Demons made by Dan Brown. I have been finding great fun in Dan Brown's works. Especially the Da Vinci Code. I really had fun reading that book, of how he made an imaginary story opposing to Christianity. Whoa, when I was reading this book, I couldn't get out of it. I mean the events made me fall into the book! How he used the four main elements as a part of murder really gave me a hit on the head. Although this book was fun, I didn't think it was better than the Da Vinci Code because Da Vinci Code gave me more entertainment rather than Angels and Demons. If Da Vinci Code was mystery and suspense, Angels and Demons were action and thriller. Anyway, this book was a great and it was real satifacting book that I have read.
