So you may be wondering why my blog is titled this...well there isn't one specific reason why. First, I think it's a great quote from the movie Forrest Gump. Also, I like the message it teaches. Life is unexpected, and no one knows what lies before them. We have to take the chance and go see for ourselves if we ever want to accomplish something. This is also a lot like reading. We start out reading a book not knowing where it will take us. The ending is unknown until we reach it; sometimes it ends good and sometimes it ends bad. However, we will never know how it turns out in the end if we do not keep going.

A Book Split into Three Books


Chapter seven is the last chapter in book one. The book is split up into three different sections, or books. My guess is that the reason for these divisions is to separate it by exposition, rising action and climax, and resolution. Book one was all mainly exposition. It introduced many characters and told stories of their pasts. These stories gave us an idea of who their characters were and what their personalities were like. Therefore, we can foreshadow and create an idea of what we suspect will happen later in the book. Book one set up the story, so it is ready to move forward from here throughout the rest of the book.
