Book Review, The Touchstone by Edith Wharton

Book Review, The Touchstone by Edith Wharton

Please don’t whine on how people have to read.  If you’re someone with nothing but all of these ideas:

1) illiteracy is a problem

2) books are fun

3) people need to read

4) you have to have good grammar

5) come to class on time

6) look at the words carefully

7) get a dictionary

8) read out loud

9) it’s confusing

10) we need to study

11) words mean things

12) you can’t interpret things on your own

13) school is fun

14) homework is always worthy

15) students can become teachers someday:

then I suggest you STOP TALKING and keep your stale, private, boring interpretations to yourself.  Edith Wharton has written serious literature and any of the ideas to the 15 numbers just offend me anymore.  And please, I know Michael Savage can read!  

Anyways, on to Touchstone, a book by Wharton.  Honestly the book is a source of which its author can use a woman’s common sense to analyze events even if there’s moments in which she blows everything out of proportion after she indicates strict, literal authority over the proportion.  Pages here and there are often riddled with special theories which would make sense if they came from different people with different theories, so while Wharton does make guesses, the guesses would only function and be correct if some of the variable opinions on estimation had not existed.  May I change gear and play with verbs a bit?  Teachers often do hate play.  Wharton doesn’t make sense because she too quickly underestimates the valid points by random storytelling.  My head is often very numb and clear and so I’m at odds when it comes to providing voluminous phrases although dispute between genders in The Touchstone invade on mental acuity in the reader’s mind in regards to romantic letters or even ripped checks.  A book of this nature is for the battle of the sexes.  “Sex” isn’t an appropriate word for “gender” since people of two different genders don’t always have sex.  Besides, there’s more to gender than sex.  How is a check romantic?  That’d be an interesting question and it’s better than the 15 numbers above.  The 15 numbers above are typically given by teachers and pupils who don’t really want to get into the actual studying; some are rules, some are social quips, but they are all methods used for aversion to learning and comprehension.  Despite the fact Wharton’s book here isn’t good due to its portrayal of conflicted notions, ideas which are better off various characters’ personalities than off a single narrator’s personality, I’d rather get into this bad work of art than deal with ANY of the 15 numbers above.  Other numbers may be possible, too.  I swear!  It would’ve been great if the 15 numbers were just given in kindergarten and I never heard them again in any other school or train of thought.  For train of thought to be good enough for us to even have plenty of stamina, intellect, and imaginary struggle for The Touchstone we must prosper on vocabulary in addition to mere senses.  Edith gives off some very original senses here as well as the three elements indicated in the last sentence in this review, so, before we realize there’s no logic or organized determination on Wharton’s part to keep the lines at bay with a specific story on lovers and argumentative notes, it can be assumed that Touchstone (“Touchstone” in my vocal flow for a move at the simple in words) does suggest Wharton’s attempt at romance but the virtues written about on the chapters are disorderly and stamped in malfunctioning vibe.  It’s a love book though.  Written, original statements will surprise you, but you’ll be left with less than a story and more than a problem.
