1. How does technology help people tell stories?
What springs to my mind right now is how technology helps with illustrating the stories. I guess as stories are often written pieces, then technology would play the magical role of weaving more life to them. You know, just with the presence of a demonstrative picture alongside the text, readers can take that as, like, a spice for their imagination. Let alone when there is some kind of voicing over where a story is read aloud and therefore, story lovers can listen to them in the form of a video with vivid animations and all that. Nothing would do better, I guess!
- vivid animations: hình ảnh động sống động
2. Which do you prefer to read? E-books or printed books?
I would say I’m a huge fan of printed books. No specific reasons though, I’m just addicted to the feeling of turning pages. Oh, there is also this meme among the community of those who love reading, so here me out and you’ll know how big of a printed book lover I am. So, the more one person loves the book, the stricter that person follows the 45 degree rule. That may sound weird, but at least it’s true for my case. No matter which book I am handling, or how long I have had that book, I’m always inclined to hold it with appreciation, like, opening it more than 45 degrees would hurt the book so much.
3. Why are mystery novels so popular nowadays?
There could be tons of reasons. Hmm I guess modern people are getting increasingly curious about the unknown, to the point where it becomes their nature. Some may be deeply in love with sci-fi fictions and how their plot can stretch already. But some may just, you know, because they have no idea, so finding more would not hurt.
4. What kind of novels are suitable for a film adaptation?
Anyways, I must say. It really depends on the professional competence of the diretor and their team, together with the audience’s contemporary taste. Like, if a story goes viral all of a sudden, then I guess no matter what topic it is or what kind of artistic materials it employs, there will definitely be people who want to see or make its film adaptation version. One example I can recall right now about one book that seems not able to be turned into a movie but it was, is “Tuesday with Morries”, which revolves around meetings between a senior citizen, a professor, in the last days of his life, and a young man, his former students. There are no dramas, they just simply exchange life lessons, but, *voila*.
