What does it mean to be inspired ? Inspiration is a creative and motivating process of creating new ideas . The things inspiring a person can consist of beauties from nature , works of art or success stories of others . Thus , when we are inspired , we can be more refreshed and open-minded towards new ideas . My inspiration is Agatha Christie .
This has inspired me because I write exciting books that take people to great adventures at the end of struggles and give people hope by overcoming the difficulties of life . Agatha Christie made me believe that I could meet people with innovations and overcome the difficulties that would come my way .
Agatha Christie ’ s father , Frederick , died when Agatha was still young . Educated at home by her mother , the little girl had a lonely childhood . She started writing stories at a young age . Her first serious literary attempts were stories dealing with emotional subjects . Even though she was dyslexic , she loved reading stories and novels . She wrote her first detective novel , ‘ The Mysterious Affair at Styles ’. Thinking that she could write better detective stories , she read to pass the time while she was in France . This novel is Agatha Christie ’ s first novel with ‘ Hercule Poirot ’.
Christie ’ s autobiography , which presents important sections from her life , has a cheerful tone , or rather a tone that expresses the joy of life . The reason for this is that the successes gained in the intervening time and a peaceful life cover over the sad memories . For example , she never included the traumatic process she experienced during her separation from her husband - which was the subject of movies .
These happy and eventful days , which lasted until 1926 , came to an end when her husband told her that he loved another woman , and Christie , who lost her mother immediately afterwards , wanted to alleviate her distress with a trip to the East on the Orient Express .
