Reflection # 5


Book covers that make me want to keep walking:

·         usually i dont like the covers with a just part of or a whole girls face because they arent descriptive but I like this one of how her freckles and how she is laying in a grassy field tell you about the character and setting.
 
 
 
 
     Book covers with “dismantled body parts” like people holding hands or a close up on a girl’s ankles or hands bother me. They're not unique and dont usually tell you anything intresting about the book. Usually when I see a book cover like that I’ll put it back and move on.

·         Book covers that are extremely girly also bother me. They usually don’t say much about the book. I pass those up to.
·         The book covers of a girls back are usually boring and generic but if they are in a unique place or have something unique about them then I might reconsider.

Book cover that I want to stop and look at:

·         I like the book covers with symbols on them, like The Hunger Games.

·         I also like book covers with a lot of detail and different                                               aspects from different parts of the book but that all mold into one                                            picture.
 I usually dont like book covers like the twilight one with just one simple picture but since ive seen the movie I know its a good moment in the story but then again this doesnt say anything about the book itself if you didnt know what it was about.

  1. I completely agree with you on your take of girly books. I will just look right pass them, nothing but an errant thought of "Wow that looks stupid" running through my mind.
