Some similarities between "The Aleph" and "The Zahir" is the fact that in both stories, the narrators clearly have the same name, Borges. In both stories the main characters, in a way, deny what they have seen. In "The Aleph," Borges states that he has not seen the Aleph just so that he could get revenge on Carlos. In "The Zahir," Borges sees a psychiatrist and instead of directly talking about the problems he is having because of the Zahir, he states that it is insomnia. Even though the Aleph and the Zahir are different in how they are perceived, they both are described as small circular objects. Differences between "The Aleph" and "The Zahir" are the effects they have on the characters. In "The Aleph," whoever sees what is in the Aleph …show more content…
I was not really into reading at the time, but I remember that my teacher made us read for at least fifteen minutes at the beginning of every class. If we did not have a book there were many books from her library to choose from. I believe this was one of the first books that I read in her class, and think I chose this book in particular because it stood out. I mean the title itself already piqued my interest. I honestly did not think that I was going to enjoy it as much as I did, It was such a bizarre read with all the strange events and abnormal characters. And in a weird way, the strangeness of the story was what I really liked. I do not think I would have liked it as much if it was not for that. It was one of the first chapter books that I did not have to force myself to finish. This was also one of the first books I read that really got me into loving to read. I just loved getting lost in another world and I wanted to keep reading books that did that for me. When I read "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings," by Gabriel García Márquez I was reminded of the time I discovered that I needed glasses. In the story, towards the end, there is a part where the old man becomes extremely weak that they thought he could die. It also mentions that his eyes became "foggy" and he starts bumping into things because he obviously can not see. This part of the story brings up the memory of me realizing that I
When we were required to read books for school, other classmates complained about it, but it was one of my favorite parts of class. Even though I didn’t always like the books, I liked to read books that I wouldn’t have picked out to read. I liked being surprised when I enjoyed a book that I didn’t think I would like.
enjoyed the plot of the book. I also chose the book because it was the only book that seemed most interesting.
The main similarity is the character's feeling that they can say or do whatever they are thinking in the moment. In “The Count of Monte Cristo”, “He saw but one means of restoring lucidity and clearness to his judgement.” “He soon felt that his ideas became again collected ------ he could think, and strengthen his thoughts by reasoning.” He was able to think clearly and have peace of mind. He could make good judgement and continue out his plans. He banged the stone and he knew that no one was coming to set him free.
The two texts are both spoken in a godly way and they both present a life lesson to take hence to. Each author wrote a sermon, because they both intended to get their point across. The two authors are similar in ways but also have their own unique style of how they determine what is to be brought from their sermon. Both texts present a moral to life that all need to take into consideration.
For the most part, the novel was very enjoyable. One aspect of it that I loved was that the storyline was extremely intense, which always compelled me to find out what would happen next. For example,

My first impression of the book was that I thought it would be a book that I would like. It combines a topic that I’m not very interested in (Biology) with a topic that I really enjoy learning about (History). The novel quickly grabbed my attention and I thought it would be the best choice for me. To be specific, the third sentence on the first chapter is something that really grabbed my attention, “He came for shade.” This sentence made me want to read more because of the way that the author chose her words and wrote her

I loved this book so much. There is so much action and is so much better and exciting with so much amazing detail and description. This is one of my favorite books ever. When you read it, you don’t want to put it down and it makes you feel like you are with the characters in the book and you know them so well. I recommend this book to anyone who can read at this level.
