What else is new? She had the book store's name changed to "BOOK CHAT."
However, before she had the name replaced, Veronica went to visit her grandma at the cemetery to offer a fervent prayer. She lit a sweet scented candle on the tombstone and asked permission. Before she left the site she laid a bouquet of fresh red roses beside the epitaph and made the sign of the cross.
After three months of optimistic positive reinforcement there was an absolute change. More than what the family would expect!
Veronica opened an internet website based on her business about books. In this book chat the chatters can log in and allowed to chat about their favorite books just to spark their knowledge in what they read. Also the basis of comparison in the kind of books they are reading. It is a fun educational enlivening and enlightening the group. Yes it is somewhat a group study. It tackles the part and pages of the book without telling the whole story just as to spark curiousity. What they like about the book. What makes it special? What are the values they derived from reading the story? Who are the characters and what kind of character they portrayed? Is there a moral lesson? Their own opinion about the title, hero or heroine, the villains and many other questionnaires to keep the readers entertained and informed intellectually.
What books cited wonderful quotations and passages that are unforgettable? Did you learn something from reading that particular book? Have you learned any new vocabulary word that you wont forget because its mindboggling and spellbounding or totally hilarious?
I know of somebody who for some reasons unknown to me laughed hilariously at the sound of "terible!" It's a spanish word meaning terrible.
Having visual aids is a must also. In a book chat several readers love looking at the many visual aids or illustrations inside the pages of the book. Visual aids are absolutely a plus for those young readers. For those who are starting to read. It helps.
All the above topic will surely enable the readers and chatters to concentrate or focus their attention on the main idea not to get lost or out of focus.
How many times I read books wherein the real story get out of hand. The title doesn't comprehend or match with the story inside. The adjectives are way to many as in over dressed. It must be cold in there inside the book. Like some authors have to describe the characters in more than five pages. What if they have ten characters then each one is described in five pages? You call that wasting the paper and ink. The author must be very rich.
