Outline
Under the Dome
Mysterious, impenetrable dome cuts off town from outside world. Factions form, violence and mayhem ensue. In Under the Dome, Stephen King has created a microcosm of humanity to mirror our faults as well as our best qualities. This novel is a treatise on human nature. Captivating and nail biting. Masterful.

Vocal
You weren’t my first. Probably not my last. But of all the others' past, you’re the one that’s lasted. Vocal, you’re the best writing platform I have found so far. You’ve helped me grow. You’ve made me mad. You’ve made me smile. You’ve made me the writer I am today.

The Giving Tree
The Giving Tree is all we need. It will make you laugh and cry. It will make your heart bleed. Published in 1964. Forever a work we will adore. Not many words. Not many needed. When we learned to care for a tree. We learned more than we ever needed.

~Fahrenheit 451!~ Telling the Truth!
~Fahrenheit 451!~ Young Ray uses machine imagery to construct the setting & environment of the book, making it masculine in form and attraction. There is no thought of invitation to Women as readers in his world! Ironically, this only leaves me with the recommendation to stick to his TV Show!

Waiting For Godot
In one very simple two-act play, using a modicum of poetic language and imagery, Samuel Becket has encapsulated the true existentialist meaning of life. No other writer, apart from Shakespeare himself, could have so eloquently, tragically, and comedically portrayed what it means to pass the time between birth and death.
