I Can Not Know About Reading

Books kept me in suspense distracting me from my depression and taught me to love myself, when my psychiatrist recommended “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind” by Joseph Murphy. Books made a huge impact in

When times are filled with despair and unhappiness, we are driven away from the comfort of our mental home, and there is no greater relief than emerging one’s self into an activity or person that grants us a dry place to survive in life’s created storm. We turn to these things until the storm passes, and while we wait, we often discover something worth bringing back home. For me, my safe haven, my anchor, my shield against the rain, was reading books. Reading has opened many doors for me, planted seeds of new perspectives that I wouldn't have ever grew myself if I hadn't found the words and stories that nurture them. The luxary of reading has been taken away from many because of war, hate, and ignorance over the course of mankind, and I understand

Books open your perspective about life, they give you different perspectives and points of view. They carry knowledge and it

Throughout all of time, literature has played an important role in people’s lives. Books are more than just stories to laugh at, cry with, or fall asleep to, but books can teach. Books can teach a person a simple task such as baking cookies or an extremely complex one such as solving for the derivative of a trigonometric path and its parabolic motion. Whatever the subject, whomever the reader, books can teach people many lessons. One of the most important lessons that a book can teach a reader is a lesson about himself, about the difficulties of life, and about living a good life. As time has passed, so has literature itself. Older books focused on historical events, fictional poetry, and important figures; however, books now have evolved to

As a young child in the years of first to second grade I quickly developed my love for reading. I was never a big fan of the outside world. I thought the world around me was boring and tearing everything/one apart, and thought the adventure inside a book was much more exciting. In my childhood home there was a large bookshelf full of different stories. Most days when getting home I would sit by the shelves in my small pink bean bag chair with numerous children books scattered around me. By endlessly trying and sometimes failing to read my children books such as, the infinite number of Dr. Seuss rhyming stories and Winnie-the-Pooh books I felt comforted by the happy feeling the characters within the stories gave me. The pictures within

There is a beauty in books. Each book opens up your mind to a world unknown. Each page of a book makes you think to yourself "what's going to happen next?". Books give you thoughts and opinions. Books teach you things you never knew. They allow you to escape reality and enter someone else's world. Books

I remember my love of books and how I was determined to learn how to read. Whether it was pretending to read, or my mom helping me. I remember reading out loud to my parents at home and writing little stories for my family to read. I still have some of the short stories I made when I was little. I would read and write everyday and I never got old of it. My writing skills are lot better now, obviously.

It's my escape. It's my way of travelling without ever leaving home. It's one of the only times I feel truly happy. Books are my way of loving myself, and that's why I put that picture in my collage.

My friends, family, and to some extent, even strangers, have witnessed my love for books, in the simplest terms I’m a bibliophile. Why do I love books? Well, I subscribe to the belief that books are one of the world’s simplest pleasures. With strokes of a pen, or a succession of keystrokes, imagination comes to life. That is why decided to start my book blogging website - Dani’s Book Nirvana - a blog that is aimed at advocating for the written word, and all that it affords. Books have, in my experience, given me adventure, and have allowed me to experience all walks of life: male, female, young, old, alien, animal, even fantastical beasts. In short, they have allowed me to travel to all parts of the world, solar system, galaxy, and dimensions,

It is nice to take a seat, relax, and break open a book of yours to read. With nothing else in mind, you embark on an adventure as the words guide you through your journey. This is the idea a reader normally accompany the feeling of reading a book. For many other people, like me before, they find it dreadfully painful as for each page turned is like trying to get closer to escape from captivity. I am unsure when my hatred associated with literature started, maybe caused by the hauntingly boring books I was forced to read by my former teachers. However, as time goes by, my attitude towards books gradually lifted when I was unchained from my shackles and allowed the freedom to choose my books. It wasn't that the books were bad, well, maybe, but

“If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all”(by Oscar Wilde). Originally, I disliked reading, but soon did I realize that the only reason I despised reading was because I kept reading the wrong type of books. By reading a wide selection of different types of books this year, it really opened up my eyes. In other words, by reviewing numerous amount of books, it has impacted me by making me realize that a book is just more then thousands of words and hundreds of pages. But instead a story that has dramtically impacted me and how i can look upon situations. That being said, by reading and viewing many different books, it has changed my outlook on how I judge relating to reading and books.

In my experience of growing up in the age where books are fading and technology is taking over, I can verify the importance of books. The source of our learning came from books and everyone was on the same page. When you have a book physically in your hand, you seem to feel a connection to the author. You are listening to what the author is trying to say. There are many times where we see people take author's words and twist them into something they aren’t.

In my opinion, the reason for this assignment is for the teacher to see where we are in our reading, and writing. Reading to me must happen when I am interested in something for example, a movie because I enjoy reading about the plots but everyone is different. Another example is a graphic novel, because you can understand the concept or plot a lot easier than you would do in a regular novel. In regular books, you have so many things going on and you aren’t able to understand what is happening then you end up getting the wrong idea. Writing is just about the same for example, I can’t write about something that I know nothing about or interested in. Therefore, I am writing this paper to show you my weaknesses and not my strengths because I

Teaching normally starts with the smallest and easiest things and children learn to read and write longer and more complicated things as time goes by (Lyytinen, 2006). Learning to read is a gradual process. Today a child may learn from letters, s/he might learn to read syllables and words as well. Lyytinen (2006) goes on to say that, there are traditional methods of help which involve one to-one teaching with a teacher, doing some extra exercises and giving more time in written examinations. But in a country like Philippines, this is very difficult to achieve due to the high pupil teacher ratio - there are few teachers attending to huge numbers of pupils. When there are too many pupils in a classroom, it becomes difficult for the teacher to

Books were my best friend as a young adolescent and when I say “Best Friend” I mean so in a literal sense. I will not go into the specifics, most of it was quite boring I assure you. I attended a very small school, in an even quainter town, so I could probably count the number of people I knew and actively spoke to on a regular basis on both hands. I was a bit of a peculiar child, I was always a little too weird, or a little too quiet for the other twelve children in my grade’s taste. Consequently, as one could imagine, I didn’t exactly have people lining up around the corner
