Herman Wouk's "Morning Star"

"At this moment - it was quite an important moment in her life - she grew hot,and prickled all over.An intuition about her future came flooding into her mind,like sunlight at the drawing of a curtain.She was going to to be an actress!This pretty girl in the mirror was destined to be an actress, nothing else.
Since entering Hunter College in February of the previous year,Marjorie had been taking a course of study leading to a license as a biology teacher;but she had long suspected that was going through empty motions,that chalk and blackboard weren't for her.Nor had she been able to picture herself settling into dull marriage at twenty-one.From her thirteenth year onward a peculiar destiny had been in her blood,waiting for the proper time to crop out,and disturbing her with premonitory sensations.But what she experienced on this May morning was no mere premonition;it was the truth bursting through.She was going to be an actress.The daydreams of her childhood had not been mere dreams,after all". H.Wouk,"Marjory Morningstar"
"Wouk was so taken aback that in 1959,when he published This is my God, he wrote that in Marjorie Morningstar "I did my best to portray a bar-mitzvah with accuracy and with affection. I thought I succeeded pretty well,but for my pains I encountered the most bitter and violent objections from some fellow Jews.I had,they asserted,made a sacred occasion seem comical.There were comic touches in the picture,of course,'but I believe these lay in the folkway as it exists,not in the imagination of the writer."
A.Beichman," Herman Wouk:The Novelist As..."
"When did Marjory decide to become an actress?When did she get an idea for new surname?Does Morningstar really sound more beautiful and sublime then Morgenstern? Does smart Jew Wouk want to glorify "American dream" /or ethos/ yet by understanding the Jewish community? I don't know.In my opinion we have to experience the shine/or light,if you want/ before then we get the ambition and see clearly our goals.Or we need only Faith, Love and Hope?I don't know.If anybody think that know let write the comment.Thanks.
