J.K.Rowling and Rick Riordan - Great Story Tellers!

-

In my previous posts, I had written about two of my favourite books series: 
 "Harry Potter" and "Percy Jackson". In this post, I want to give my perspective on the narrative style of the authors of the respective books: J.K Rowling and Rick Riordan.(Click on their names for more details). 

Similarities:
  • Rowling and Riordan bring in lot of humour in their story telling.
  • They maintain a seamless flow through plots, incidents.
  • The core emotions expressed are friendship and  loyalty.
  • They have a lot of interesting characters that make the plot enthralling.
  • They use powerful adjectives like fantabulous, sublime etc., which gives an enriching visual image to the mind.
Differences:      
  • Rowling has narrated Harry Potter from a  third person perspective, while Riordan has written Percy Jackson in first person.
  • Most of Rowling's characters appear in all her books, whereas few of Riordan's characters appear in the entire book series.
  • Rowling elaborates the plots in detail, while Riordan keeps the plots short and crisp.
  • Rowling starts with a recap of what has happened in the previous books, while Riordan starts with action.
  • In general, Rowling concludes the story with a feeling of hope and Riordan ends on a happy note always.

Both these book series are written by fantastic authors and are a must read.
I strongly believe that you will love it.😃

Dear all, it is with immense ple a sure I am writing this as it is my 50th blog !! I have been able to cross the Golden Jubilee after exactly seven months and ten days and it has been an incredible journey. I was first introduced to blogging and the world of blogs on 4th May 2018, by my dear father . Making me write blogs was on his radar for a long time as he thought it would help me improve my English writing skills, my observation skills and most of all, helping me organize and structure tasks. When I  started blogging, I would make many errors and my father would diligently and lovingly correct them. But now, I am happy to say that though I make errors while writing, I manage to fix most of them by myself. If you have ever wondered at any point what happens behind the scenes to make my blog, then here you are: 1. Deciding on a topic: Unlike other bloggers, I write about varied topics and deciding a subject is very crucial. I mostly follow a structured order of topics

Our world is being rampaged by the coronavirus(Covid-19) and new personal and social norms have been created in order to prevent the spread of the virus. As we are unsure whether if the virus will be eradicated or the fact that it may continue to remain on earth, we have to equip ourselves for the future in order to be able to live with it. In this blog which is the first of a duology, I will be looking at 3 normal features that we were accustomed to before the spread of the virus and how these features will be reshaped and remodeled in the future.

Wearing A Mask In Public Prior to the Covid-19 spread, it was not at all necessary to wear a mask in the public. Moreover, people who were sick were only encouraged to wear it. However, it is now made mandatory for everyone to wear a

Why Marketing Is So Crucial For Firms

Why Do Firms Need Marketing? Marketing is for firms what breath is for humans. Generally speaking, the 3 main reasons why entrepreneurs say the reason their company faced heavy losses is because it was either undercapitalized, employed the wrong people or the market conditions were bad. However, I would like to add a fourth point here which is poor marketing. Not only does effective and good marketing help a company sell its product thereby generating revenue, it also helps build indirect customer and business relationships and helps the company gain widespread fame and an increased customer base.  Types of Marketing : 1. Print Advertisements 2. Word of Mouth 3. Radio and Television Advertisements 4. Social Media Advertisements 5. Cause Marketing - Marketing that involves messages about social causes and activist messages 6. Relationship Marketing - Marketing campaigns that stress customer satisfaction more than sales transactions. The Advent of Digital Media Marketing Prior to the bir
