A Close Reading of Pages 100 to 115 of The Remains of the Day

How do you read the words of the novelist and how to clarify and hide important scenes of key issues such as characters, emotions, politics? On pages 100 to 115 of Ishiguro's novel, the beginning of a man called Stevens (British model butler) traveling to the western country is written. Stevens mentioned the novel. It was written so that readers can explore his memories, the history of the country, the intersection of politics of the times, the way used to express emotions and hide emotions.

If you read 50 pages a day, it will be 350 pages a week. It corresponds to about two books. With 52 weeks a year, you read 100 books. How to read this 50 pages is really up to you. You can spend one hour reading. Or you can schedule a meeting of 10 minutes and 10 minutes a day, and you can also read 10 pages during this time. Some books are dense, long and difficult to read. When Walter Isaacson 's biography on Steve Jobs was released, I wanted to read it. So, I decided to listen to the audio book during the 3 day expedition all over the country. The advantage of audio books is that they can listen to them while driving, at the gym, or while running.

I always read before I write. This is an integral part of my creative process. I read 20-50 pages a day and add 100 books per year. Sometimes I will review the book I have already read. Sometimes I will read a new one. Much of my idea of ​​what to write comes from the text I emphasize or the paragraph I emphasized. If you want to be a rich writer, be a greedy reader. After years of writing, I learned that you can not expect much in the early stages of writing. The first 20 to 30 minutes are designed to move the finger and let the text flow without resistance or judgment. Writers must warm up like athletes. The first few paragraphs or the first 500 words is my warm-up. By knowing that it is just a warm up, you can also relieve your stress.
