Why do I read? Well there are many reasons why, but if I narrowed
them all down to one specific reason it would be to escape. Now I don’t try to
escape my life because it’s real horrible or because it’s extremely fun. No. My
life is pretty simple, I read to go on adventures and try something new. I escape because things like the life of a girl
in a utopian society or the life of a teen spy are things that I do not
encounter on my day to day bases, and I want to experience them. I read books
like Harry Potter, to try out the adventure of being “the chosen one”.
Being a kid who sure is sent to a boarding school, but the school is a enormous
castle where he and his friends live together and get to go on wild adventures.
In the book of the Secret Society I get to be a teen wrapped up in the
lushes of Manhattan getting anything I want as long as I can keep a secret. The danger and excitement of that story is
what drove me to read it not wanting to leave the adventure. Both of those
stories are things that I would never have the chance to experience in my life.
Thanks to books I am no longer a girl living her life in the Mason bubble, but
anyone who I want to be.
I really like your last line:"Thanks to books I am no longer a girl living her life in the Mason bubble, but anyone who I want to be."
ReplyDeleteYou describe the ways reading helps people escape really well.
I like this, the fact that reading helps you to escape from a normal mundane teenager's life. That's a really clever idea.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read more of your posts.
Just a side note, your page is really wide, so you have to scroll over to view it. I'm not sure if there's a way to fix that, but I just thought you should know.
