Thoughts Through Writing

*Reading was always one of my favorite pastimes, but as the pandemic started, my interest waned until I discovered read.cash. My passion in reading was awaken, not so much by the books, but by the stories and knowledge of people with whom I had become acquainted here.* *I'm interested in stories with visuals, because I become bored if it's all text. I used to buy story books while I was in primary school, and dream to establish a home library someday. Through reading books I discovered authors which I admire. There's a lot of them actually, but for today's article I'm gonna share only 5. These are the authors whose work is what I have read recently.* ***But first let me Flex to you my sponsors, one of those persons who guide and support me throughout my journey here. You guys can check them too:)*** ________________________ Willian Shakespeare

Who doesn't know William Shakespeare? I think most of us are familiar with his name and even with some of his works. ***Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, The Merchant*** *and* ***Macbeth*** are some of his works. His works was all about tragedy, death and sadness. Yes, as a reader it can affect you emotionally, but it's amazing how his mind works through writing. His works are so popular, that it became basis for the teachers to teach about literature, even about giving performance tasks. I was in 7th grade when our adviser told us to memorize ***"The Seven Ages of Man"***. I actually don't know why I still memorize it until now. Lol! Rudyard Kipling

I first encountered the name *Rudyard Kipling* when I was in 8th grade, when our teacher tasked us to memorize his poem in titled ***"If"***. But I get more amazed on him, when I discovered that he was the author of the famous story, ***"The Jungle Book".*** *Mowgli* and *Baloo* who is a friendly bear are the main characters on this story; maybe you guys already watched it's film adaptation. He was born in India, and contribute to literary by his poem and stories. About the stories, his works were about tales for children. Btw, he work as a journalist for 7 years; looks how he loves writing. Edgar Allan Poe

He is an American writer and poet, who is best known in writing short stories and poetry. He gives a lot of contribution in literary through his wide imagination and originality. He was credited as the inventor of literary genre : horror*(although he is not the first one who make horror stories)* and mystery like detective stories. It was a belief that today's horror movies was inspired by his work. He was also interested in psychology, that became his style to develop modern Ghotic stories. By his style of writing, he was able to influence a lot of readers, that until todays generation get inspiration from his works. Try to search his books, and you're going to see how he love to write horror stories *If we have Edgar Allan Poe for a male writer of ghotic stories, let's moved to female* Shirley Jackson

Most of her novels was all about horror which makes her a master of gothic horror and psychological suspense. She have other novels like, "***The Hunting of Hill House***" in 1959 and ***"We Have Always Lived in the Castlein"*** 1962. I read her story 2 weeks ago, ***"The Lottery"***. It was a fictional story about the traditional way of winning a lottery ticket, wherein the winner's reward is death. Kind of a humorous story, but it you analyzed it, you're going to understand that Shirley Jackson was referring to reality. Kate Chopin

She was influenced by Guy De Maupessant, French author from Normandy best known for short stories. She was first printed her novel on 1890 and became popular through her piece ***"The Awakening"*** (1899), which became controversial; now considered a classic of feminist fiction. I actually shared one of his works, ***"Story of an Hour"***; just search it if you're interested. It is about a wife who seek for freedom, that at the end she recieved it but in a tragic way. So, if you're a girl who wants to stand for the right of every woman, try to look at her works and you're going to see what a 21St century woman is. *That's it readers!* *Who is your favorite author/s? Did you based it on his/her works. No matter what, let's became a productive author in this platform :)* ________________________ ***Lead image was edited using*** *****PicsArt***** **** Author's love message : ***Hello lovely readers! How was your day?*** ***I haven't visit most of the articles again, but I'll try my best to cope up those days which I'm not around. See your articles!*** ***GOD Bless. Hugs.***
