Questions for readers
Hi! I'm your host Bev Sykes of the blog "Funny the World". .
Welcome to Sunday Stealing. This feature originated and published on WTIT: The
Blog. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the
blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most
interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves!
Pick a book you have read and answer
the following questions:
1. Why did you pick the book? Because I have read it four times and it is a classic.
2. What did you think about the book? I loved it. There are only three novels I've read four times or more.
3. What do you know about the author? Just that she only had this one book published during her lifetime. She was a southerner and was born in the early 1900s.
4. What’s the most memorable scene? There are many, but the burning of Atlanta is big.
5. How did the book make you feel? Like I was born in the wrong century.
6. How do you feel about the way the story was told? It was told beautifully.
7. Which parts of the book stood out to you? The entire book is amazing.
8. Which specific parts of the protagonist can you relate to? She was a strong woman who did what she had to do to survive.
9. Which character did you relate to the most? Melanie.
10. Share a line or passage from the book. After all... tomorrow is another day.
11. What did you think about the ending? It made me a bit sad. But there is always hope!
12. Is the story plot-driven or character-driven? Definitely, character-driven.
13. If the book was made into a movie, what changes or decisions would you hope for? The book was made into a movie which is pretty amazing but the book is so much better than the movie. Scarlett had more children in the book. Bonnie wasn't her only child.
14. How did the book change you? I don't think the book changed me at all.
15. If the book is part of a series, how does it stand on its own? The book is not part of a series, though someone did try to write a sequel which is terrible. Gone With The Wind stands very well on its own.
The other two novels I've read four or more times are The Once and Future King, by T.H. White (all about Camelot and King Arthur) and The Pillars of the Earth, by Ken Follett.
Happy Sunday!
Peace & hugs! God bless!!
I've never read it but I saw the movie many years ago. I like mystery/thriller books. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteLoved the book, too, Terri, and I truly should read it again. The movie is wonderful, too.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
I've read GWTW 3 or 4 times. Love it! I have the sequel, but haven't read it. There is another book, too...Rhett Butler's People. Haven't been able to bring myself to read it yet, either. And I haven't seen the movie! Loved your thoughts on the book, Terri! Have a blessed Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI will be interested in your take on the sequel, Stacy. I thought it was awful. Scarlett and Rhett were strangers to me in the sequel.
DeleteI dont think I have ever read the book, Terri. Interesting, I will add it to my library list, IF it ever reopens, sigh. Have a great day friend.
ReplyDeleteMy son read GWTW, but I am good with just seeing the movie. It is so long. I am glad you enjoyed it so much. Great review. Loved your answers! Have a nice Sunday!

I've seen the movie on numerous occasions, but never read the book or realized Scarlett had more children ... that must change! Totally agree with what you said, "Like I was born in the wrong century"! Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI just saw Olivia De Havilland passed away. It made me think of your post. She was 104.
ReplyDeleteWow! I didn't know she was still living. God bless her - RIP.
DeleteI agree with you on GWTW, Terri. I too saw that Olivia deHaviland passed away. Amazing lady and actress.
ReplyDeleteI have never read that book. I really need to!
