I agree.<br /><br />Becoming familiar with something teaches. <br /><br />Whether it be gazing at a painting that is pinned to the wall, listening to a piece of classical music (or other), reading the "whole" novel rather than the Literature Textbook's excerpt - each strongly influences the one who goes forth to paint, play an instrument, or write for himself. The model influences. Yet as you say, originality comes forth, too. <br /><br />This is especially true with Charlotte Mason's method of narration. When a child narrates he is copying from some of the best writers in-a-way yet he develops a style all his own. <br /> <br />It's neat to see you are reading my book, "Companion." <br /> We listened to "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" on audio when our children were children. Hearing read was fun. It seems to be more poetry than prose. <br />Karen A.Karen Andreolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135239838790568639noreply@blogger.com
