Finzi-Contini's garden review.

Image result for Finzi contini's garden bookIt's been a while since I've uploaded a book review but here has come the day, I've finally finisched tests so I will have a lot more time to read, so expect some reviews soon. 

You've heard of this book in a recent tag that I've uploaded, this was the last book that I had to read because someone had me to read it.
This was given to me by my literature teacher for school and I didn't like it.
This book talks about the story of this people that are Jews and it's set up in 1939 so when the racial laws were up in the city of Ferrara in Italy.
The only reason why I didn't like this book was the fact that I was expecting something more exiting, something that would have stayed in my mind and in my heard for ever, something that I would have always remembered as a really good book, the problem was that there was no point in writing this. 
This is not teaching anything because it tells the story about the main character Giorgio falling in love with Micol, she liked him at the beginning but then she fell in love with his friend Malnate, this is it.
This talks about their story, he liked her, he tried to have her fall in love but then this is it.
There are some historical references about the ''Leggi Fascistissime'' of 1925-26 and it talks about the fact that life of a Jews was hard because they couldn't attend the tennis club and in university they had some issues. 
But it was not telling me anything else.
If you want to read something about that historical period I suggest that you read Anne Frank's diary or Primo Levi ''If this is a man'', I don't suggest this one at all, it's boring and it didn't tell me anything.
I was so let down at this.

Why you should read classic books and some suggestions.

Classic books are one of the most difficult category of books that you can read. They are called ''havy'' in the italian language because sometimes they have some difficulto words or too old expression that you have to search because the most of the time you don't know the meaning. They are hard and sometime quite boring but they need to be like this. If you consider two books, a contemporary books, let's take for example Jamie McGuire's ''Beautiful disaster'' and George Orwell's 1984, we have a kind of love story in both of the books, however, the concept that Jamie tells in her beautiful thing are totally wrong, they teach to young girls that your boyfriend should be aggressive, way too jalous als if the main characters of the story are not even in a relationship, I hope that who read that book could relate to me, so it is full of wrong concepts that teach just wrong things. We have 1984 that is a classic, there is some sort ...

Come scrivere un libro, parte due - la struttura.

Con questo articolo, il secondo della serie, qui trovate il primo, è importante per un motivo di ordine che voi leggiate prima il primo e poi il secondo, parleremo quindi oggi della struttura che dovrebbe avere il vostro libro. Sull'articolo di ieri mi sono dimenticata di specificare che questi sono gli accorgimenti che hanno funzionato per me e che mi hanno permesso di redigere qualcosa di sensato, quindi capisco che qualcuno possa trovarli insensati o poco corretti. Oggi parleremo quindi della struttura che dovrebbe avere un libro e soprattutto della grammatica e dell'ortografia. Prima di tutto il testo VA GIUSTIFICATO. Cosa costa schiacciare il tastino che giustifica il testo? A patto che non abbiate scritto una poesia e con i versi lunghi e corti vogliate enfatizzare qualcosa e che quindi il motivo per cui non giustificate ha senso, fatelo sempre. Darà un senso di ordine alla vostra opera. Dopo di che, sempre in modo che tutto sia lineare, decidete come vole...
