I don't get...Hey Margo, I really enjoyed your blog. I don't get a chance to read it much, but I hope to after I'm done with school. You write very well.<br /><br />When looking at a fictional book like the one you've blogged about here it is very useful to examine and challenge the political and religious undertones. This is criticized by some stating that, 'it's just fiction,' but it is more than just fiction. Authors writing fiction weave in religious themes and ideas that express the ideologies of the times. <br />Reading fiction is a must, because it is an avenue to gain a pulse upon culture to some degree. It helps us to be better writers and communicators also. <br /><br />Dan Brown's book, The Divinci (sp?) Code, is a good example. In discussions about this book people repeated stated, "it's just fiction." I say it is more than fiction! It was a book with a religious statement regarding the validity of the Christian gospel and our Savior Jesus. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the blog.
