So this week, as I sat down at my computer to begin blogging, I
was really confused as to what to blog about. So I dug through my binder and
found the "Possible Blog Topics" packet. One of the suggestions was
to write about the most important line from the book. But I have
already posted about that in my previous post. So that got me thinking of
the most important idea of the book. So as I reminisced on what I read over the
course of this week, I found a paragraph where Charlie is talking about the
first time of his realization of life.
"It's like my very first
memory, which I guess is the first time I was aware that I was alive."
I know, that’s probably really deep and you have no idea what he
is talking about. It's alright. Neither did I, until I thought about it really
hard.
It’s weird to think about. When we go back to think about our
younger selves, we can't remember the things we did as babies. There is
probably something that we remember from toddler years, but when did we gain
the ability to store thoughts? When are we physically and mentally capable of
our life?
Charlie says this line in the book nonchalantly but it really gets
the readers thinking. That is something that is prominent throughout the novel.
He speaks about the depths of live through simple diction and syntax. His naive
personality really helps enforce these complex ideas.
If you are reading this right now, then tell me in the comments:
What did you think Charlie meant by this line?
Great idea to blog about! Your right, the line is pretty deep, but I have no idea what this book is about or who the charcater is. But I agree with you on the "when we are able to store thoughts" part. I personally don't really remember anything from being a toddler, so I agree with you. But overall great post!
ReplyDeleteI really liked your idea for the blog post and how you connected it with our younger years. The quote was very deep but a little confusing for me because I don't know about the character since I haven't read the book.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you this quote is really deep. I also agree with you when you said the first memory you ever remember is like the first time you realize your alive. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you added your voice. I agree with you analysis of the line!
ReplyDeleteThis quote was very deep, and I think you did an amazing analysis of the line. This post was very well thought out. You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI like how you put your own spin on the blogging prompt of the best line of the chapter to the best idea!
ReplyDeleteI really really like your relatable sense in this post. And i also like how you took the blogging prompt idea and put your own idea into it! I like how you put a question for us to think about at the end!
ReplyDeleteThis was a really deep quote and I loved the analysis of it. It really made me think!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love that quote!
ReplyDeleteLove the quote, makes me think about my first memory, i suddenly just realized wat was happening one morning when i was 3, never knowing anything before and just going along with everything
ReplyDeleteThose are really good questions, really hard to think about. most people say its around are 3-4 that you start to remember things but why then? why cant we remember when we were babies?
ReplyDeleteI really loved the quote and the idea of it. I also loved your analysis. You took a simple quote that normally I would graze over and you made it mean something deep. I never would have thought of doing something like that. Great Work!
ReplyDeleteThe quote you used was amazing. I think that this quote is very deep and you have also done a good job explaining and interpreting it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read that book but it sounds like a good book! I like the quote you chose, and I like that you explained a lot about the character who said it.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably one of my favorite books ever. And your right, I never really thought deep into the meaning of the quote, but you did a great job interpreting it. Nice job!
