What Is The 50 Shades Trilogy

Superior Essays
Until I was introduced to the 50 Shades Trilogy, E.L. James, I had never read a book from cover to cover, including school-required books or any type casual reading. After two weeks I read the entire series. With this new found love of mine I was stunned that I actually enjoyed having time to read. Before I began to read the 50 Shades Trilogy, I honestly did not think I would be able to read even one book, let alone three. I have always preferred movies over novels; therefore, never in a million years did I actually believe I would read more than one series. I quickly found out that reading was even more intense than a movie. There is more detail and information and I could actually envision what I was reading down to every detail.

When they are together, it is a connection that no other could possibly feel. It works out in the end, but starts off extremely unhealthy in the beginning. The connection streams from the sexual attraction that they have for each other, for instance, both of the women in the stories were very similar. They both felt that the man they were interested in were unacceptable, yet they could not pull their attraction away from them. They both stated that when the men looked back at them, they were directly staring into their souls, to feel this would be amazing. Luckily, I can say that this is a feeling I have felt on many occasions with my soon-to-be husband. To have a connection with someone on that level is one of the most thrillingly emotional rides of a

    Overall my experience with reading has been forced, and limited and has lost its original glamour. For me what reading novels brings to other people, I can obtain through other means that are more appealing for my way of thinking. While I don’t enjoy the act of reading a 600 page mandatory novel, I do enjoy the conversations that it can cause. Such as the debating, and sometimes the arguments, that come from the material within the carefully thought out cover pages can be intriguing and rewarding. However, to say that books have influenced my thoughts about the world, or have made…

    Since beginning this course, I have been resistant. Ever since Jr. High it has been hard for me to keep a book long enough to stay interested. One way i get involved with the characters is by comparing him/her to me. If not to me, I compare them to other characters. Once you find similarities or differences, it is easier to get intrigued in your book.…

    I agree with you, the flow in "Androgynous Man" was excellent, but I also had a better connection with E.B White's "Once more to the Lake". You are absolutely right though reading is like a art, everyone connects with different stories in different ways. It's always fun to read something and discuss it amongst other people. For me I enjoy seeing and hearing other people's…

    The short story of M. Butterfly constructs the unbelievable story of main character Rene Gallimard recollections of his intriguing relationship with Opera Diva Song Liling. The quotation from Act Three, Scene Two explains the dynamic of the relationship; which affects both characters emotionally. Gallimard and Song invested twenty years into their relationship, and this scene primarily describes how Gallimard comes to understand that Song is a man, but not fully accepting the truth.

    Reading was something I was practically raised on as a child. My dad made sure that my younger sister and I were read to every single night before he tucked us in, passing down a tradition that he believed had aided in shaping his own childhood. I distinctly remember my simple mind roaming along in the lands of Narnia and Middle Earth as such books instilled in me a restless sense of adventure and a longing to learn. This longing drove me to read more and more on my own, all the while my father continued to read to me at a higher and more complex level, that at the time seemed unattainable. Yet books to me were journies completely separate from my own world and I could never seem to envision them as anything more than a source of entertainment.…

    I staggered backwards, head throbbing, unable to gain balance. The cold night air surrounded me, numbing my fingers as they pressed against my burning forehead. My blurry eyes could barely make out the shapes before me, but I could see a figure standing merely feet away, drinking the blood of a—unicorn? As I tried to concentrate on the dying being, something leapt over me unexpectedly. I— “Megan, time for dinner!”…

However, a movie projects one main picture that can be somehow limiting to the spectator, who, will not think any further to what is depicted on the screen.
