Persuasive Prompt

Book Title: Thr3e Author: Ted Dekker

Our book should be proper for this assignment and for reading because of its length and its quality. The book is over 400 pages and is obviously not something short that a student who is looking for the easy way out would choose. This is an adult novel, having a complex structure and plot. It involves a series of events that charter(s) go through and relate to each other. The book is said to consist of many sequences and events that make it a fast paced reading. A book should not be only read for its quality, whether fact or fiction, but it should be enjoyed as well.

This book is a very popular story that has been rated at a majority of 5/5. Such an example could be represented by the amazon review above. The story is described to have a psychological twist to it and makes the reader think more into the story rather than just read the book and complete it like an ordinary fictional piece. Other reviews quote that the ending is not disappointing, but rather immensely thrilling, and that it is just one of those stories that you cannot put down after reading the first few pages. From beginning to end this story seems well rounded and regarded as a fulfilling piece.

The book also has a morality factor that would only make it more of a reason to read if you are a student in Ms Lewis's English class. All year the class has been focused on readings based on concepts outside of ordinary life. We studied mainly the consequences of adultery in different eras and societies. We also contrasted these eras/communities with each other as well, such as how Puritain would face consequences of being hanged in front of an entire town and how in the modern society it wouldn't be more than a small flaw that a few people would know about. With this being said, Ted Dekker's story should be another read to relate the views on morality; this time from a Christian author who describes a man that needs to confess all his sins.

In contradiction to our proposal, you might think that just because a hand full of people posted their liking of the book online, it shouldn't be a reason to read the book. You might defend your argument with saying that only the ones who had strong feelings about the book wanted to express it online for others like us too see. In reality, you must observe the audience in order to make a final decision. If you fit in the audience, then you will most likely feel the same as they do about the performance/book/product. In a real life example, just because the artist Lil Wayne is one of the top rated on the charts, doesn't mean you will like his music. Lil Wayne is a rapper, therefore falling in the genre of rap which means that these charts imply that all the people who enjoy the rap genre have helped him reach that title in the top hits. As for this story by Ted Dekker, it is a story that is for an audience that enjoys fast paced phychological thrills and views on Christianity in literature. I fit in this audience because I am a Christian and enjoy those types of books that bring more than just a series of events and a simple/predictable ending.
