Hello everyone Today, in this blog, I would like to share my impressions about taking a course in literature online. The course was developed by Rebecca Bullard, and was aimed at an in-depth study of poetry with a variety of videos and tasks that develop the skills to look at poetry from different angles. It was very interesting to try to write something yourself, as well as to read the opinions of other participants of the course and see their impact. At some points it was difficult, as some of the verses were incomprehensible, but it was necessary to develop your imagination to leave a comment or complete the course. In the first week, it was very interesting to learn about the techniques of attentive reading. To ask different questions, you can re-write with other users and I advise you to do this! Close reading – the practice of reading slowly, intensely, and reflectively – can help us experience poetry on a deeper level. We call it ‘close’ reading because it brings us in towards the text, helping us to see it from new perspectives. One important aspect that I liked is that after each new topic, one of the practical tasks was to share your impressions and feelings, which really immerses you in the course itself. I really advise you to take the time to complete different courses that will be of interest to you. I wish I were human that will develop such a de course

Good afternoon! Today I would like to share with you my impressions of the book "The Girl on the Train", written by the beautiful British writer Paula Hawkins. The novel, written in the genre of psychological thriller, really captures readers, especially those who like to read detective stories. This is an exciting psychological drama that describes the difficult lives of several women. The main character is going through a breakup and kills time by riding a train. Once she witnessed a crime, but no one believed her words. If you read this book on a trip, it would be so that you would imagine yourself in the place of the heroine. «If I were you»

The book is narrated on behalf of three women-Rachel, Anna and Megan. The book tells the story of a girl whose life literally collapsed - she could not get pregnant, her husband left for another, was fired from her job and eventually sank to the bottom of alcoholism and lying to her flatmate, who kindly sheltered her. Every day, she drives to the city center, pretending to work. And on the way, she always passes the house of her ex-husband and another-the house of a married couple who, in her opinion, is perfect in every way. If we talk about the main character, she is definitely not the person to take an example from, but I feel very sorry for her, I understand her pain. She needs the help of a psychologist who will get rid of her bad habit.

Now I want to focus on the plot in more detail. During the train ride, Rachel always looks out the window at the married couple, whom she calls Jess and Jason. They live near her former home, where she lived with her husband, Tom, and where he now lives with his new wife, Anna, and their child. Rachel is going through a very difficult divorce, which, as she believes, she herself provoked. One day, she notices a stranger in one of the houses and sees that Megan, whom she constantly watches, is cheating on her husband. And then it disappears. The police are looking for her. And Rachel could have helped with the investigation if she hadn't been drinking so much. After all, from the fact that she gets very drunk, she loses her memory. I would like to mention an interesting fact that I really liked, namely that in the book they constantly jump between Rachel, Anna and Megan. Each girl tells how she sees the situation from her side. Very interesting technique.

I really liked the book, it is easy to read, the description of the characters and situations is very detailed and interesting. I advise you to read it, but I can say that the novel is more suitable for women than for men, but it is still worth paying attention to this work. I would like to suggest you to read the best works of this author
