Well... too long time without creating this topic! Almost new year, it's the moment!! I'd like to comment here those literary works you have readen and you want to explain: why do you like it? why it have touched you in a special way?
Although I can talk about thousands of books, now I want to comment only one: "Anne Frank's Diary":
Why I have decided this one? Because it's the work which has touched me more in my live. I suppose all you know about, although maybe only few have readen it. It's not a fiction work, but the real personal diary of a young Jew girl in the time she had to hide with her family and other family, hide from nazi's. I wanted to read it until I know about it, but I really read maybe two years ago. And it really touched me as I never can imagined!
As it is a real diary, not a fictional one, I knew in all moment that what she was writting were actually her feelings, her thoughts, her acts. She was a little girl who fast grew in a terrible vital situation... and you can see how she had fear, she start to know about love, how she get angry with her parents or the other family who hide with them... as any little girl does.
When she wrote the diary, she often express her wish to be a famous writter in a future. But I (all readers) know that she had no future: she died in a nazi concentration camp with all her family, except her father. Specially hard for me was reading, when the diary is reaching its end, how she really belived in the godness of humankind. She ACTUALLY believed in it, after know how terrible can be the humankind, and very near to her end in hands of her enemies. She was so optimistic in the worst conditions. Besides this, and in final pages too: she wonders what if she becomes a great writter, and she becomes a knowed, famous person by her works... In that moment, I cannot help to think that she really reached it, she has become a famous writter... although she won't know it, never!
When I finished to read it, I had a terrible sad feeling... But it was after a while, when talking about with my mother, when I cannot help it... I'm not ashamed to tell this: I cried, and more than I've ever cried for a movie or for any literary work, because I was thinking in the real Anne, and how she lived and how she died.
I don't know, I don't use to talk about this, but I need to tell it, and I want to share my experience with you.
Of course, this topic is not only a sad works as this, you can tell us your enjoying experience with which you want.
