Dan Brown

I honestly don’t remember why I did. I believe it was at the suggestion of my dad. I didn’t understand until that book, what it felt like to say, “it was so good I couldn’t put it down!” I literally, would read all night long, forgoing sleep to get to the next chapter. Dan Brown’s style of writing really resonated with me. Plus, I loved the history, and symbology in the book. The story featuring Robert Langdon as a modern-day “Indiana Jones” captivated me. I found myself rooting for him to figure things before it was too late. I enjoyed the book so much, I finished it in about 3 days. The next time I went home to visit, I borrowed my dad’s copy of Angels and Demons, another Dan Brown book featuring the famous symbologist and Harvard professor. I read that books over the course of about 4 days. 1,169 pages in 7 days total. That was definitely more pages than I’d read in my lifetime. Since then, I’ve also read Inferno, The Lost Symbol, and many other books. All of a sudden, I can’t get…

Who is Jesus the Christ? As my seven and five year old children would say, Jesus is God’s son. Oh, if only it were that simple of an answer. This is a question that every Christian, when they are being honest, struggles to answer their entire life. I have experienced moments of certainty when faced with this question, only to succumb to insecurity once more. For instance, my first experience of rejecting Jesus came to me after reading Dan Brown’s The DaVinci Code in the early 2000’s. My sudden…

make it better. Admittedly, I should have asked for help sooner and much more than I did, instead of just struggling on my own and not getting very far. In the end, I managed to finish it, though I don’t think I did the best job that I could have done because at that point I was so stressed out about it that I just wanted it done. If I ever have to do that kind of paper again I will certainly pick a topic that is easier to focus and I will probably work with someone in the writing center to…
