“Whenever you read a good book, somewhere in the world, a door opens to allow in more light,” Vera Nazarian quoted in her book The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration. Reading is an educational activity that opens the mind to new ideas and thoughts. The poem “I Love the Look of Words,” by Maya Angelou is used to teach young children that reading is good for the brain, that the feeling one gets after reading a book is unique and satisfying. Many people love reading but it is not a skill that one acquires in one day, it has to be learned from a young age.

Maya Angelou uses Metaphor, imagery and tone to encourage readers to read.
