The Title
A title is at least one of the most important things when it comes to books and movies. Mainly because it is the first thing we see when we go into a bookstore. I never judge a book by the cover, but by the title. The significance of the title is super important because if it doesn't make sense or sound good, then there is no point to the book or movie. "The Lovely Bones" for instance, does have an interesting title. At first it didn't make sense to me until my English teacher in High School had to tell us what the book was about. Then it made a little bit more sense to me. But reading it for myself, it doesn't seem to fit in with the book. I mean they haven't found her body yet (just a couple of her things and such). But no body equals no bones to tell a story. To a Forensic Anthropologist, the bones can tell them everything they need to know. But since they haven't found Susie's body, there are no lovely bones.
