Miah Learns to Write

Just recently, I had finished reading Victor Hugo's world-renowned novel " Les Misérables " or Les Mis for short. To anyone who wants to renew their view on life and humanity as a whole, I recommend you to read this novel. It definitely helped me regain my passion for reading and writing but it also gave me fresh ideas that I would like to tap into. However, before you read it or do anything with the book, you need to be prepared in the sense that you need to have an understanding of the human essence and you need to sit through more than 1,000 pages of the book, patience is a must. The book I read was somewhat abridged but it still contained the fullness of the story and the emotions that are brought about with it. But, if you want to get the whole gist of the fantastic journey of Jean Valjean, then read the 2,000-page novel if you have the time. This novel has truly deeply moved me and touched me. I actually have a last song syndrome on "I Dreamed a Drea...

I was meaning to write something about this months ago. I finished reading the novel, though I have not seen the movie, I am fully content with the written story. Basically, this is about two sisters, both of which have interesting characteristics, habits, and thoughts about love and romance. Although they seem totally different in their personalities, one preferring silence and resolve, while the other leans toward strong emotional conviction and carefree living. But as I went along the story, I felt the connection and concern of both sisters with each other as they tread a path of pain from heartbreak and treachery. All the while, their bond becomes stronger, and their respect for each other more so. The elder of the two is Elinor and she is more reserved with her feelings than her ostentatious younger sister, Marianne who always finds a time to express her extreme emotions. However, they are equally passionate in their pursuits, only they show it in different ways. More...

I just finished reading the book Tuesdays with Morrie and it is as inspiring as what people have said about it. I have read Mitch Albom's Have a Little Faith as well, two years ago. And they are very inspiring, why? Because, for one, it's non-fiction which brings out more emotion to the readers. You feel like you have met the same people and you have been with the author in his journey right where you're sitting. For those who do not know the story, here is the gist of it. In college, Morrie Schwartz was Mitch's psychology professor. But to Mitch, he was more of a mentor. As the story progressed, they became almost like relatives. Often, Mitch calls him "coach" and likewise, Morrie calls him "player". After graduating from college, Mitch started to seek a job but with no success until the death of his uncle drove him to go back to school. Eventually, he got a master's degree in journalism and became a sports writer. He went from Ne...

"As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit." ~Edward Teney  About a year ago, I read the book "Have a Little Faith" by Mitch Albom. It is a good book and I believe that anyone who will read it will also be inspired. The story, the people, they simply moved me; they brought me to a deeper understanding of my own faith. It really is a great book and if you have the time to go to the bookstore and buy it, I would recommend you to buy it. In the past year, I encountered a lot of problems and perhaps I will have greater problems this year but it is these times of trouble that we have to strengthen our faith and never lose hope for God never leaves us nor forsakes us. He gives us refuge, He gives us comfort in our time of need. Faith is the only thing we have left when everything else is gone. E...
