Creative Patterns In The Reading

The Nobel Prize for literature has gone to someone who deserves it. Like the great masters of the past, V.S. Naipaul tells stories which show us ourselves and the reality we live in. His use of language is as precise as it is beautiful. Simple, strong words, with which to express the humanity of all of us. One of those stories is one that we discussed in class name it “Reading and Writing”. In this one he described by the publishers as a "literary autobiography", was written for the Charles Douglas-Home Memorial Trust. And in it the Trinidad-born Naipaul reflects upon the books and experiences that shaped his imagination and persona and brought him closer to his childhood ambition at as young, as 11 years old, to become a writer. Naipaul tells of deciding to become a writer at a young age but acknowledges that for most of his youth his ambition "was a kind of sham". He didn't write (having little occasion, need, or desire to do so), and he didn't read much either. It is a disarming admission, not what one expects from someone who became such a important author. But his certainty about his destiny, his ability and his need to continue to think of himself as a writer, even when there were no indications he would or even could become one, is also striking. There is little detail, about the individual books and the circumstances of their creation, but what he does reveal is very different. 
Convincing too and a main point of the book is his a literary background and its consequences. He approached writing without the weight or the help of literary tradition. He did not read much, and when he began to read more he also approached and understood literature as an outsider. Naipaul is a craftsman and clever, too. He expresses himself easily and clearly though his skill also allows him to manipulate the reader, as he perhaps too readily does. In his autobiography, he uses an easygoing way to tell them. He didn’t write with hard or well-bred words. He told it like a story without a continue order of event. Also He describes all the people around them like characters of a story. He is very brilliant. I think that this manner of write a autobiography is very useful to draw attention to more people, because the reader don’t feel anytime boring.
