A Book Is __________

A book is an object that brings joy and curiosity to people’s life. A book is also a gateway into the imagination of the author and can bring a feeling of sensuality of being in the book. Traits that come to mind about books are unique and sometimes secretive. Thrilling and unimaginable plots and cliff hangers. Outstanding characters that cannot be described in words.  I agree with Joe Meno’s statement “The Kindle, the iPad, these are just variations of a need we have as a civilization, as a species, to use our imagination, and this need is as important in this time as any other.” Some reasons are just because someone is reading a different way doesn’t mean it’s wrong, no it means they found pleasure and enjoyment in reading through a more modern way. To me that’s perfectly fine as long as they are reading and growing in their knowledge. Books on a Kindle, Ipad, or IPhone are all the same to me because the technology has grown and the people have grown. Like I said I could care less if the people are reading the bible on an Ipad, they’re still reading and that’s the most important part isn’t it. How can you believe that you must read a certain way? If a person was reading upside down and backwards I wouldn’t think anything of it because it’s an epidemic in the country of people not reading and we are becoming farther and farther behind other nations whose people read constantly for enjoyment. Now I believe there is something magical about a book but, why does it hav3e to be in a book form? Why can’t it be on an electronic device? Are we that incapable of believing that someone is playing an app rather than reading? I mean come on show some confidence. I strongly believe that if you read you will become smarter and we need to become smarter.

Why I Read

Why I read,

I read because i believe that through reading i grow a new vocabulary, become more intelligent and I am able to have a clear understanding of the book. Some reasons i believe reading gives you a larger vocabulary is every book you read the author has different word choice. And through the different vocabulary grows a larger and larger vocabulary. If a person is reading an adult book the particular person must have a high understanding of vocabulary to be able to understand the book's plot. A second reason i believe is reading makes you more intelligent. I believe that because through reading you get a larger vocabulary which allows you to use more intelligent words than using plain undescriptive words that have no flow or style. Since you have a more of a variety of words you are more likely to use them and be able to speak to highly intelligent people instead of slowing or compacting more general undescriptive words. Once i read something that I understand completely i want to have something to move on to. Books I like to read are books that can clearly deliver a concept/plot and is still able to have a larger enough vocabulary to make myself have a challengeable book to read and enjoy. In doing so books that i can understand are books that have no flaws, just outstanding
