Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. Sometimes one word can describe so much about a book!
The Main Character's Name!
One of the most popular things writers do is name the story after the main character. This makes the reader's main focus go to that one character, and become curious as to what happens to them.
The Group atau Object Title!
Writers also drift toward naming thier works after a group in the series atau an object that plays a big part in the book. Take one of my other kegemaran book series for example.
The Mortal Instruments
The Mortal Instruments is named so because of three objects in the series. A mirror, sword, and a cup. These objects were used sejak a man to create a legion of Shadowhunters(Demon-Hunters). The main bad guy in the series spends most of the his time trying to get these objects.
Symbolic Names!
Another idea is to name it after something it symbolizes atau something one of the characters say. Take, "To Kill a Mockingbird" sejak Harper Lee, for example. A story about a little girl named Scout who is introduced to racial injustice in the south.
"Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make Muzik for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."
The story goes on into telling us about a black man who was accused of raping a white girl in the town. Everybody knew he was innocent, but the man was still charged and murdered. The quote is symbolic because HE symbolizes the mockingbird.
One-Word Names!
The last idea I have is to give the book a one-word name. This one word could sum up the entire book series. Take the book, "Speak" sejak Laurie Halse Anderson. A book about a girl who never speaks up and tells anybody about her problem. In addition to her never speaking up, a few sub-plots in the story deal with the same "Speak" idea. Like her lab partner who stands up to one of the teachers.
I hope this artikel helps anda name your book/story. I and if not, I really hope I give anda some ideas!
Never did I think that the person I was to face would be the beginning of a war I never wanted to get involved in.
This is a peom I wrote for a competition at my school. Tell me what anda think of it, please?

Have anda felt the torture of hate?
Like a poisonous cloud, it will wait,
Until anda burn in the flames of fury.
Then it will creep up and incapacitate.
Alas! anda will choke, and don’t try to deny your anger.
It is too late.
Hate is like grasping a red hot coal,
Intent on throwing it at another soul,
Instead it is you, yourself, who burns,
Then your own anger shall take its toll,
You’ll bring about your every mistake and failure.
You’ll be alone.

For the first couple months, that's what it really feels like; darkness, always there like the puppy you always wished for to follow you around.
You may think that vampires are the most godly creatures on earth, but it takes more than just a bite to be beautiful.
But I guess this is the price for not agreeing with a vampire.
