Reading

I am looking forward to the next couple of class periods. I love to read. I love the idea of being able to place myself in a whole different world and to let myself get lost in the characters and plotlines of the stories. Reading is nothing like watching a movie because a movie doesn't let your imagination run wild, instead it sets everything out for you. However, for books our imagination takes over the pages of the book. It can take us away from the stress of our daily life and instead it lets us be swept away in a life that isn't ours. Reading expands your mind in ways you never imagined it could be. It could be a mystery, romance, suspence, thriller... it's all up to you and your library card. For example, I've fallen in love with Edward Cullen in Twilight. I became a mercantile bride who settled in the 1800's in Seattle with the expectation of being a teacher never a bride. The greatest thing about reading books is that don't have to be afraid of getting a broken heart in the process. What I do know is that reading offers me an escape to stories that are endless and that will always be etched in my memory.
