The first work of literature that I remember is Good Night Moon. My mom or dad would read it to my sister and I before we would to bed when I was very young. We would get into bed freshly showered, teeth brushed, wet brushed hair, and sleepy. While half asleep and half listening to our parent read I would imagine pictures to go along with the words. Slowly drifting into sleep my parents would slowly get softer and softer in reading. Once asleep I would dream of all the characters in the book doing crazy things. I prefer to read fantasy, mystery, science fiction, and horror genres. I like books that I can relate to. Modern stories or older stories with a modern twist are fun to read and figure out what all was changed from the original story.
The Holocaust during World War two is a significant part of history. During the Holocaust, many Jews and other groups of people were tortured and exterminated. The book Night by Elie Wiesel and the movie Schindler’s List are both placed in a setting during the Holocaust. The book Night explains the horrors of a young boy’s (Eliezer) experience as a jew during the Holocaust. The film Schindler’s List is about a man who does his best to save Jews from being placed in concentration camps by hiring them to work for his business. These Jews that Schindler saves become known as Schindlerjuden. The Schindlerjuden and Eliezer’s experiences that are portrayed throughout the movie and book are similar because they all did their best to do what they
My earliest reading memory was when I was five with the little golden book series. I loved getting new books and reading them. But most of all I loved when my mother read to me so I could look at the pictures as my imagination went wild with stories about Jack climbing up the beanstalk or a king searching a kingdom for a worthy princess.
Reading and writing have always been pleasurable activities for me. As stated in the first heading, I have enjoyed literature ever since I was young. As far as a preferable reading category, I have always enjoyed fictional series, however, as I get older I enjoy reading more nonfiction from a learning standpoint. I find more pleasure in learning about subjects that I am interested in rather than entertaining my imagination. The only magazine I get every month is the Men’s Health magazine because I thoroughly enjoy learning about fitness, wellness, and overall betterment of the human body. The frequency of my reading depends on my schedule. Normally, I can only handle one book at a time, so if I am assigned to a novel in school then I focus
My parents have told me that when I was a toddler I would take books off the shelf and "read" them for hours. At the time I had no idea what the books were about, and would leaf through the pages looking for pictures and familiar words (such as "firetruck," suffice to say I didn't recognize very many).
Most of what I can remember from my childhood is being read to by my mom and her teaching me how to read, alongside my older sister. During the day all that I wanted to do was have my mom read to me, so she would. And every night before I went to bed she would let me pick one book for her to read to me. It was my favorite part of everyday. It wasn’t just at home that people would read to me, my grandma would too whenever we went to her house. She had this book full of short stories that always had a good lesson at the end. I loved hearing my grandma’s soothing voice right before I fell asleep. My favorite book was “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish” by Dr. Seuss. Since my mom read it to me at least once everyday, I began to memorize it. I wasn’t actually reading the words on the page, I just knew the story so well that I could recite it.
books with diverse genres. To name a few, I have read The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, another
I've always been an avid reader, but the stories that seem to capture me the most have a distinct aspect that I can relate to, or, in the case of a dystopian or science fiction novel, there's an idea or a possible future illustrated within the book that intrigues me. My top three books that I've read throughout high school have one or both of these elements to a certain extent. Each author has challenged the way I think that the future will look like as well as make me think twice about modern advancements in science and security and how scary it could become.
Genre: The book is fiction. Anyone can enjoy a good fiction book. I do typically read fiction books. Fiction is my favorite genre.
I’m not really the type of person that doesn’t read a lot I don’t read for fun reading is not my favorite hobby, when I do decide to read books my favorite type of books are mostly fantasies books, Rick Riordan would be my favorite author, he wrote numerous series of books called “Percy Jackson and the olympians which has now been made into movies.
Even till this day I love a variety of books from horror to old World War two stories. But my personal favorite books are those that relate to undercover Drug Enforcement agents or CIA spy books also story’s from soldiers during missions in Afghanistan or Iraq. What really attracted me to this genre are the stories of bravery and comradery, also the elite stuff that they do such as Halo jumping which is when you jump out of a plane at 30,000 feet or being undercover in a very dangerous Drug Cartel. It keeps me glued to book never wanting to stop. On the other end I love old western stories or even thriller and crime solving books. But as a kid I really loved Goosebumps by R.L. Stine. The way he wrote the dialogue in the books and how he came up with these crazy and weird stories was just great. So lately I have been digging through my old junk and found a couple of books such as “The Beast from the East” or “Ghost camp.” Re reading them brings back memories of being small and inside a small classroom just quiet and
When my parents first started to read to me, I was not but a year old. They read to me every night, Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. Goodnight Moon was my favorite bedtime story, and I probably could have recited the whole book word for word back then. It was a book made to lull small kids to sleep with the content of the book. Then, when I grew up a bit, they started reading the Magic Tree House books by Mary Pope Osborne to me. I loved those books because they were interesting and informational. I finally got to the point where I could read the Magic Tree House books by myself, so I read one every night before bed.
I was never one of those kids who loathed bed time. I always looked forward to it. Every night my mom would let me pick a book off of the bookshelf for her to read to me. I remember books such as Goodnight Moon and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie completely fascinating me. From the brightly colored pictures to the different voices my mom would speak to portray the characters, I remember these nights and stories very fondly. The first person to introduce the joys of reading to me was my mother.
No matter how little or how much an individual immerses themselves in reading literature, most individuals have a favorite literary genre. I have two genres in competition for my favorite; Science Fiction and Re-telling of Fairytales. Science Fiction is fiction based on imagined future scientific or technological advances and major social or environmental changes. Space or time travel and life on other planets is frequently portrayed in Science Fiction stories. Re-telling of Fairytales, an unofficial category, is fiction based on old fairy tales, such as those written by the Brothers Grimm, but retold with some kind of twist.
One of my favorite types of novels are mystery books. Mystery novels almost seem interactive to me because I’m always trying to figure everything out before the characters do. One of the most famous and one of my favorite mystery writers is Agatha Christie. Her book And Then There Were None is one of her more popular books and it’s my favorite mystery novel of all time because it’s so skillfully written.
Do you have a favourite genre for stories? Stories come in all sorts of genres and themes. They attract different types of audiences because they make connections with some readers. For example, A Secret Sorrow is more Fantasy, and “A Sorrowful Woman” is more realistic. Audiences like me enjoy fantasy stories since we have an interest in the love connection to the characters. I prefer A Secret Sorrow because of fantasy, relatability, and love.
