Yes, a book has helped me think about an issue in my life. Not many books help you, but there was this one book it was ‘Love, Aubrey’ by Suzanne LaFleur; this book made me realize that wherever you go, you'll always have people around you that care about you. At one time I thought that I had no friends but hey, I put that negativity out of my head and I had a lot of friends. Everyone has encountered a problem during their life whether a book had made them think about it or not! Some have bullies that won’t leave them alone others have who knows what kind of problems. However a book can make you think differently about yourself as you are and it can make you see things and feelings toward how other people feel. If you have never read something,
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
Many people have memories from when they read their first book and how excited they were. They remember everything like the palm of their hand, although I honestly do not recall when I read my first book. I just began to read and loved it. I would read for hours and hours, my parents would take books away from me, because I would not sleep from how much I read. I have read an abundant amount of books, but my all time favorite book is, “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee. I relish the way Harper Lee demonstrates every character's emotions and thoughts so clearly to the reader. This book exemplifies how we should not judge anyone until we step in their shoes and walk in them. There are books that are not pleasant for
Books open your perspective about life, they give you different perspectives and points of view. They carry knowledge and it
The memory soaked pages of your favorite book can be an absolute treasure (at least personally), one that can transport a person to unknown lands and teach them of adventure or real life lessons. Despite the earlier stated themes that objects are not important, I can argue full well that books are an item that easily develops your character. My books are objects that I hold dearly, for many of them have shaped myself as a
On the other hand, some books are not bad for children. The books can teach how to be strong when you are in a tight situation, or how to be a good leader, or teach children to be good people. Some of the utmost motivational and educational books can be seen as a bad influence, it is all about perspective and how somebody can look at a book and their opinion on it. One example of a banned book is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
I think that ‘andrew motion’ that books are like a capsule books hold the answers to life the answer to math problems, chemistry problems some people base their whole teachings on books. Books are going to help people in the future that have problems like where things are or it will help them know what to do in politics.
Even if you don’t like to read it’s important to know how, and to possibly even find a book you do enjoy. I strongly agree with the saying that there is a book for everyone because I truly think there is. Literary reading can show you how different people can think and their perspectives on certain things. It gives you knowledge on other people and things you didn’t even know about but do now. It informs you on topics and past
Escaping from the severe reality of life helps a person get through their difficulties within life. Whether they have emotional or physical problems, or a person just needs a good story, reading can help a person explore new worlds through their imagination. I loved reading from a young age, and treasured the moments when my mother read to me. She helped me explore the unique worlds that authors try to portray through their writing.
I have often told myself that books have a way of calling to us, whether they’re under the most unfortunate circumstances or you’re choosing out a book for your summer reading. No
I have read tons books in my life. Unfortunately I was forced to read most of them. I never really liked reading just in general, But I will say that when I read The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald, it really hit me.I do not know what it is but I just like the theme and the circumstances that the characters were in. So hopefully The Great Gatsby is the only book that has impacted my life.
most of us get opinions when we meet new people . That is what happened to me when I met my best friends in Portland . I thought he didn't like me because I am younger than him . So I was trying to not talk to him and when my teachers put him in my group in class i was going to other group . Many of my classmates noticed that we didn't like each other until my car was broke.
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
Books have a great impact on many people. People learn about the world, and can be inspired by them. Schools encourage young kids to read lots of books to become more educated. Many people want books to glorify the world, and leave out the harsh realities that everyone will come face to face with. If books are written realistically with all the hardships that life contains, the readers can prepare for those challenges and accomplish more towards a greater society and fixing some of the problems. Books should portray the world as it is to prepare readers to face and understand issues of corruption and poverty, the pain of growing up from childhood, and the brutality of war.
Another question to ask is, “Is it relatable?” For a lot of people, when they have to read a book, they get upset. They get bored. This is more in a school specific setting. How does a book keep people entertained? A book has to adventure, an easy to see message, understandable plot and characters. Henrik Ibsen’s, An Enemy of the People, is a perfect example of this. Dr. Peter Stockmann finds poison in the water supply. He immediately wants to tell people, but his brother, the mayor, tells him he cannot because of the people. When Thomas ignores this and tells the people, he becomes their enemy. A lot of students and people can relate to this. When they tell something over and over that something is wrong and instead of listening, people get angry at them. It is relatable. Charles Dickens, Great Expectations,is not that relatable. Yes it can be for some people, but when a person reads it, they do not get that feeling of, “I can apply multiple points of this novel to my life.” A book should be able to be
Raymond Mar, a psychologist at Your University in Canada and Keith Oatley a professor An The University of Toronto, they both say that “individuals who often read fiction appear to be better able to understand other people, empathies with them and view the world from their perspectives.” I agree that reading certain types of books can help people further understand and see things from a different point of view. Reading helps to open people's eyes and to teach life lessons or to show there are other things to believe in and know other than what they have always been told to know. Getting different types of books, types that are not always the same as the books that you normally read can help you to view things differently. For example from personal experience a new book can help your imagination grow, readings helps me a lot when I need to come up with new ideas for an art class. The new places a book takes you the new images you see while you are reading the new stores you hear and the happy ending your book might have can change the way you are feeling it can brighten up your day.
