My Favourite Book

Reading is a nice way to just sit back and let your imagination be free. In an article titled “How Reading changed my Life” by Anna Quindlen she goes on to talk about how it shaped her as a person and it helps strengthen emotional connectedness. In her book she states, “Socrates was wrong: a reader learns what he or she does not know from books, what has passed and yet is forever present through print”. Ultimately, its about having this joy where we can just grab a book escape and lose yourself in the book, to get lost in the print forgetting about any matters going on in ones life. Being lost and having no care in the world are the reasons to want to grab a book and develop our minds, books will also help shape who we are due to the fact that when we read we are constantly learning new things and educating ourselves. Romanticism can be a feeling used to describe how a reader feels when cracking a brand new book open, the smell of the ink on paper and the creases a book acquires from constant use are physical evidence of the journey the book has taken with its reader that cant be duplicated with an

Thanks to hours and hours of bedtime stories, I was able to read from the age of 3. In kindergarten I read to my classmates, and by second grade I was reading series like The Boxcar Children and Trixie Belden. Books allowed me to get lost in other worlds full of adventure and excitement. My love for what words can do has extended through high school. I pride myself on my book collection, anything from Hunger Games to The Picture of Dorian Gray. I’ve continued to read all the way through high school, some books four or five times because I love them so much.

Reading has impacted my life by having a creative imagination. I read books to see the world and accept opportunities that are given to me. Opening the cover has made me curious what my life will experience and go through in the future. Not only I have gotten smarter to increase my credentials throughout my life, it has made me ambitious to succeed. I feel that education is not just important to read, but to experience how others feel, and how I would express myself to the world. If my father had not pressured me to open that book, I would not be in college today to puruse a career in medicine. Every word I read, is the second I take to get closer achieving my dreams and having the capabilities to change the world by advocating for better

Books have been the main source of obtaining information and discovering a world of knowledge, imagination, and exploration throughout all periods of time.

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

To most people, a significant other, a tragic event, or a loyal pet can change their life and affect them deeply. However, for me it has always been books. I have read many books throughout my life, some more or less significant than others. Various pieces of literature have made me laugh, cry, or have intrigued my adolescent mind. An author has a way to connect with someone in a way that no digital image can imitate.

Books allow us to learn more. For example, in the article, The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to our Brains By Nicholas Carr, he says, “What really makes us intelligent isn’t our ability to find lots of information quickly. It’s our ability to think deeply about that information.” Google allows us to have the information right in front us, and we just write or read about what it says. It’s not only Google, it’s anything with a screen. A book makes you

Today, in our society, reading is a crucial part of us growing, and learning. It can cause us to expand our minds, and our thought process. Books can take you anywhere in the world. When we read a book, our mind is in control, and no one can take that away from us. If there were no books, we would not be free.

There are 26 letters in the English alphabet. Just 26 letters to form words, sentences, paragraphs, and finally books. Our language has come a long way over the years, and reading has highly impacted the way we live our daily lives. The Greeks used books of mythology to explain how things came to be and pass that knowledge from generation to generation. Authors use books to tell stories, and ideas, which spread so much farther than just by the word of mouth. Yes, books have greatly changed the world around us and have also affected my life personally.

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

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 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.

Books have been the exist to imagination, emotion, and knowledge, but mostly knowledge is shown in books. Knowledge has been part of ideas that books show and tell to make the imagination, the emotion, and understanding the book happen because knowledge is power. In the novel Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury warns that without knowledge people will be easily controlled because they wouldn’t know the two sides of an idea. Therefore without books it’s a plain society.

We all know reading is boring, time consuming, and compulsory. All though, most kids would agree with that statement, some may disagree. Some can say that if one does not read they can lose knowledge and become less smart. If you don't read there can be consequences for stopping. Reading is valuable because it gives readers the power to escape, to maximize their potential, and to strengthen their mind.

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.
