Also I don’t want to live life trying to be like everyone else, so this was really encouraging to me. A part that helped me was the part about confidence and how important that is. Its important to have confidence in your faith because say you get in a situation you can protect your faith and stand up for what you believe. Another part that I can really apply to my life was how when people were talking about her she didn’t even beg to know. Personally whenever I hear that someone was talking about me, I really want to know what they said!

    My dad taught me that books could be my teachers, my mom taught me that our backyard could be my classroom, and my sister showed me that you could bring books into the swimming pool. I did not know it when I would spend hours in the pool reading a book that my parents weren’t encouraging it in vain, but my family life, for good reason, was centered on books. We were the planets orbiting around one sun that was the bookshelf. Little did I know that books would be the catalyst to academic success in my early life, and I owe it all to my family. Although a life with a book in your nose might seem boring, I was never bored. Living through the characters vicariously, I explored Narnia with Lucy, attended Hogwarts with Harry, and rode dragons with Eragon. Of course

    "Don’t judge a book by its cover", a banal phrase that has taken root in society in order to instill into individuals the notion that the value of a person or item cannot be determined by its external appearance. What if this illustrious phrase was extended to pertain to authors and their work? Should a book be distinct from the author who wrote it? This is a controversy that has arisen throughout recent times ultimately resulting in a moral dilemma for readers. In his article “Asher and Alexie books among most objected”, author Hillel Italie discuses recent allegations made against Jay Asher’s “Thirteen Reasons Why” and Sherman Alexie’s “The Absolute True Diary of a Part Time Indian".

    Having never been a proficient reader, getting through the book by myself was difficult, but the need to understand the story had me rereading every page. Harry Potter contained no profound, life changing morals but it did capture the imagination and ignited my passion for reading. What I had once associated with boredom and saw as a chore, I now actively sought out more, to the point where reading replaced watching television as a favorite pastime. Afterwards, the first books I would read of my own violation all had compelling stories, like Harry Potter, and the more I read, the less intimidated I was of reading. I no longer stuttered over big words, the need to reread pages diminished, and e...

    To begin, Ordinary People by Judith Guest really struck me to the core. How could such a seemingly simple book create such vivid emotions?

Every single person faces numerous hardships on a daily basis, but what we achieve from these situations really makes the difference. Sometimes, the thought of achieving anything at all seems so far-fetched because the constant battle between self and society forces people to deal with their problems in various ways.

    Loving to read since I was little, I believe that literature defines itself by its ability to capture the ineffable emotions of people. Through the process of understanding the written word I can open the door to the exterior world and experience a sense of belonging by understanding other’s feelings, in both fiction and non-fiction writing. I’ve “wandered lonely as a cloud” with William Wordsworth’s poems, recollecting those emotions of tranquility as if I was there. I’ve looked for the deepest longing for a sense of inner peace and purpose by roaming in Lost Horizon. I’ve struggled at the edges of love and hate for Shakespeare’s King

  • Reflection On The Fault In Our Stars

    849 Words  | 2 Pages

    I feel that he shows the reader the truth of life, it has it’s ups and downs and will eventually end and sadly some end sooner than they should. I understand that the world doesn’t want its children to think like that which is why I believe that this book should be allowed only in high schools not middle school. I believe that a high school student can handle the emotions that are presented by Green better than the middle school student can. Also there is an inappropriate love scene that I don’t think middle school students are ready for. This novel is a great one to read and I feel as if teenagers are missing out because our society doesn’t want them to see that there are people their age suffering. Maybe society doesn’t want its teenagers to think that they can fall in love quickly and that it should take time, maybe they don’t want them to even think about sex. Well I hate to break it to society, but teenagers are already thinking

  • The Pros And Cons Of Reading

    1112 Words  | 3 Pages

    This kept me even more devoted to my reading habits and allowed me to pursue them through middle school when I made the jump from 300-400 page books to 700-800 page novels. Middle school was my era of being obsessed with fiction books. I loved books that were recreated through movies like Harry Potter or The Hunger Games just as much as I loved books that I could relate to. However, books with a relatable factor always tended to be my favorite. This was mainly because I loved the idea of living vicariously through someone 's life. One of my favorite series is the Clique series which is about a group of popular girls navigating through high school. I started this these books in elementary school and reread them all throughout high school and though I was reading about arbitrary things like fighting over boys or crazy holiday parties the entertainment from this series possessed me to find more pleasure books. At the same time, this entertainment buzz quickly turned from a consistent means to continue to strengthen my literacy to me lugging my book to every class and reading instead of paying attention. Consequently, my teachers started to notice I was no longer listening to them and began taking my books and at first, this only fueled my stubborn nature and
