Beauty

Beauty comes in many forms. From others perceptions as well as our own. You can be physically beautiful, as well as internally beautiful. Even if people dont think of themselves as someone who is attractive; they may only feel that way because of the norms in society. People are affraid to be themselves in public. They dont want to be judged. Only thought of as normal. https://www.google.com/#q=definition+of+beauty

Beauty is so much more than how a person looks. Beauty is nature, animals, beliefs, love, happiness and so much more. Beauty is the first snow that falls when we reach winter. Beauty is the vibrant leaves that flourish in the fall. My favorite dog is a German Shepard because I think they are beautiful. There is just something amazing about their features and everything about them that brings me in. My favorite animal would be a snow tiger. Not the tigers in the zoo. They deserve to run free and be the beautiful animals they really are.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Shepherd

I've seen the movie Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas only a few times. The movie was made in 1988. Its all about drugs and the experiences that follow. The movie has Johnny Depp as the main character. He does a really great job playing the part of a drugged up lunatic. Now I'm reading the book, and there hasn't seemed to be a big difference in how the movie is played out towards how the book is played out. Since everyday life is keeping our feet planted safely on the ground, it's interesting to see the experiences of others when they are somewhere else; lost in their mind. Its only another side to reality.

The book has lots of descriptive writing and dialog. Even when its hard to put together their experiences, it pulls you in with interest and difficulty understanding. The book makes you put together a puzzle every time there seems to be trouble understanding what is taking place.

“In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.”
― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas    

“Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run, but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant.”
― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas    

Even though the book is about a trip to Las Vegas and many of the drugs they bring and use, the book brings to life the many experiences we all experience with life, and the situations that happen to us; which may be hard to explain to others. This book is teaching me the different ways of descriptive writing. Putting together a good story with many different styles of writing.
