The books of today vs the books of the past prt 2

Leaving off from my last blog I was talking about the books of today and the books of the past. Today I'm going to explain how the books of the past are better than the books of today. First off they had amazingly emotional characters. They had Deep stories and the most realistic settings or most fantastical. These are those stories that have been passed down for generations. When I mean books of the past I mean 1980's or earlier.

In The Once and Future King by T.H. White The story begins with Arthur being a young child in his foster fathers castle. In the beginning when Arthur is just a child Merlin takes him on wonderful journeys and the book is funny and uplifting. The story only gets darker and darker though. By the end of the book half of the cast of characters is dead and Arthur himself is about to die. This builds suspense and a tension in the story so that you never want to put the book down because you want to know what happens next.

In the greatest book in the world by fact and popular opinion, or in other terms the best book I've ever read and will probably ever will read, meaning Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. Ender is a very amazing, special character, he goes through so much and develops from being to one being picked on  to a star captain who can pick on you and get legally away with it. Did I mention he's about ten? This is something books will try to take up today but Card made his book so dark and so unique that no one could ever repeat it.

Finally in the masterpiece known as Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is a great book that has amazing settings or backgrounds as you may call it. The main characters in this book go to and live on an island, have an encounter with a few criminals and get into a ton of trouble. Twain puts so much detail into the town they live in and what the island looks like that you feel like your there.

In Conclusion the books of the past are much, much better than the books of today. They had better stories settings and characters. They felt more emotional and even more relate-able than the books of today. Yes there are many good books of today but there are none I would call Great.
