Hello
I am preparing the following CALTECH essay: “Please list three books, along with their authors, that have been particularly meaningful to you. For each book, please include a sentence explaining their influence upon you. Please note that your response is not limited to math, science or school-assigned texts”
The essay must be limited to 500 characters (WITH SPACES)
1) “Lost illusions” by Honore de Balzac: It is a novel of adventures, teaching how our world works, and giving countless life lessons. Despite describing a world two centuries old, we notice similarities in the feelings and the desires, and the power of the media. This book is meaningful to me because of my identification with Lucien Chardon, a poet full of ambitions, fighting to succeed, suffering humiliations and looking for revenge, understanding that money is the key for power, and looking for the quickest ways of getting money; loses all of it, aiming too high et not knowing when to stop
2) The Red and the Black by Stendhal: It is a novel of energy, of a young, passionate man, demanding and poor in the society of the Bourbon Restoration. This book touched me, once again because of my identification with Julien Sorel, representative of the talent of the career, part of the low social class trying to conquer the world.
3) Crime and Punishement by Fyodor Dostoyevsky: This book influenced me through the protagonist, Raskolinkov.
I want this essay to be grammatically complex as well.
Thank you
