Why A Dog's Purpose By Bruce Cameron

Decent Essays
A Dog's Purpose is an amazing book written by Bruce Cameron. In this book there is a lot of different places the dogs take you. It seems like the dog is outside the most. There are many different characters in the book and they are not all main ones, every few chapters things change. There is not much conflict in the book because of how it is written. There is always a new dog but they have the same soul and it is just trying to do their job making humans happy and feel loved. I think that this book is very good, it is by far one of my favorite books. The book is excellent and it does not need to be changed in any way. A Dog's Purpose is written so that the dogs are the ones talking. The book always had me in tears. If you are a dog lover and

    (1) What if dogs can actually talk and communicate but in their own language? Well in Garth Stein’s novel, The Art of Racing in the Rain, the main character who is a dog narrates the whole novel to us through his point of view. Some pro’s of having a dog as the narrator of your novel are that whatever the Enzo says in the novel cannot be interpreted by anyone else so he can say anything he wants about every character and not have a backlash of the person hearing him or someone telling him what he said, so Enzo has no filter because no one will find out what he’s saying about people. Another reason why it is good to have Enzo as the narrator of this novel is that it is unique and it does not follow the same pattern as every other book. It gives the reader a new taste a new perspective of a book instead of keeping it plain and have a person narrate the novel like there are not hundreds of thousands of those kinds of books already.…

    The story demonstrates how the relationship between individuals and the pack grows incrementally divergent, and how the language as an embodiment of human intelligence stratifies the pack hierarchy and complicates the dogs’ communication to the humans.

The attitude towards the introduction diverges as some of the dogs do not like it, while the other dogs like it and they want to continue living with it.
