Reflection (kind of)

Being that this is the first time I'm doing one of the reflections, there is going to be a vague line of what I think what I'm supposed to be doing and what I'm actually talking about. We talked a lot about best seller so maybe I can shed some light on Brody's perspective. I think in general being on that list of best sellers can only mean two things. That book is so original and well put together that it surpasses all other books around it. Or, the book has been dumbed down to generalize for anyone and everyone to relate and understand, or the book could be gaining traction with the public because of controversy. Books that just push envelopes aren't break through, they are just trying to spark something to create publicity for their book. Most people whether they like it or not, know of that book now because of the drama caused over it. Maybe looking at other prizes on a book would help determine if the book is literary or not. but hey, who am I to say so? Just a kid with an opinion, take it or leave it. What else is there to reflect about? The class maybe? Sure. This class only makes sense to be online, its almost like a book club where we meet twice a week. I'm excited to read some new books and organize my thoughts through these reflections and maybe gain some perspective through other people's comments. I think that is about all I got, like I said, vague line...too informal or just right, journal, or grade? Cheers.
