Little Dorrit

   I find that I have a very short attention span. It's comes out quite strongly in my blog which has no guidelines. Maybe that's why I have such a hard time writing papers for school. I find that I often have to write a paper that is a certain length about something that I don't actually have any thoughts about. That's a hard thing o do.
  
   Charles Dickens amazes me in the way that he has so much to say about things, but I don't find it all boring. I enjoy all of Dickens's  descriptive writing, where as I found Tolkien's extensive description dull in the Lord of the Rings. Maybe it was because I  have watched the LotR movies so many more times than I have watched Little Dorrit. Both movies depicted the the scenery  from the books very well, but the LotR movie is more imprinted on my my mind because I have watched it so often.

   Back to Little Dorrit, I love it! There are so many different characters which you get to know better all the time. So many characters with character if you understand me. In this book you meet so many different people from all different classes and different countries. I know the main outcome from watching the movie, but there is some mystery that was unsolved for me even by watching the 8 hour mini series twice. I'm hoping I can figure it out by reading the book.
