    Books are precious pieces that improve one’s knowledge and help define one’s personality by relating themselves to characters within the text. As Vladimir Nabokov said in Good Readers and Good Writers “The reader should identify himself or herself with the hero or heroine.”(Nabokov, 973) I always believed that by reading a book you become one with yourself by somehow feeling all the problems of the characters and become completely absorbed in their world, therefore feeling like you have a purpose as you read.…

    Reading allows for one to drift away from reality and opens a new door of an alternate fictional world. Once the reader has developed an emotional connection to the book and finds it intriguing, it is impractical to close the book. Reading allows a person to think creatively and take a break from life's stresses and worries. Whether one is reading for pleasure or for academic reasons, if enjoyable, the difference should be indistinguishable. Gratifying books teach lessons and try to get the reader to think deeply about a topic. Readers look for specific qualities in books such reader's interest, an opportunity for vocabulary, and the appropriate reading level for their age. Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare Night by Elie Wiesel and Red Queen…

    Literature helps people experience things they would otherwise never be able to experience. Liam O 'Flaherty’s “The Sniper” is a great example of this. When O’Flaherty is explaining the scene where the sniper is on the room lighting a cigarette and a bullet whizzes past his head is a great scene that helps explain what it would be like to be in that position (O’Flaherty page 474). Most people have never been in a war, even fewer in a sniper fire fight, and therefore most people will never know what it is like for those few that have been in that position. But by reading this story, people can almost visualize what it must have been like. The adrenaline pumping through their veins and the terror as a bullet almost hits you seems like an almost impossible thing to understand if you weren’t actually there, but O’Flaherty uses literature to help explain what it was like. Literature can also help explain what it was like to live in a totally different environment. In “Warring Memories” by Kandi Tayebi, she does just that by show us what her husbands like was like in the Middle East. She explains how he would watch CNN and comment on how men should take their rings off or their bodies will be looted and mutilated once they are dead (Tayebi page 510). This again is a life completely different then life in America and by reading about it, it helps spread awareness of what other people’s lives are like. History is another reason to study literature. Many pieces of literature do a great job of explaining history without boring the reader with nothing but facts like a history textbook. “Like a Winding Sheet” by Anne Petry does a very good job of doing just that. It isn’t nearly as boring as reading a civil rights textbook but does a great job of showing how hard life could be for an African- American in the 1960’s. She showed how you could have to work extremely long hours of manual labor without breaks just to…

This exposure to new ideas is intrinsic to helping a child understand the world around him or her. Children can learn more morals from reading than by any other means.…

    One major advantage of reading a novel rather than watching a movie is that you get a much better view of how each character feels and their thoughts. For example, in the novel, The Outsiders, the narrator gives readers tremendous insight into Ponyboy’s emotions, feelings, and thoughts. You understand his great fear of the Socs and why Johnny always carries a switchblade with him for protection. The reader learns how Ponyboy feels about the gang and why he believes he is different from the rest. During the time Johnny and Ponyboy are at the church, you also experience the emotions they both go through over Bob’s death. When Dally and Johnny die you know exactly how Ponyboy feels, creating a feeling of sympathy towards him.…

    We get information from reading books. Without them we wouldn’t get any information or learn new words. Without books we wouldn’t know what happened back then or read autobiographies of what was happening during Slavery, Holocaust, WWI, WWII, and many more historical events that occurred long ago. For example, when Montag went to Faber about books and Faber told him how books tell the truth about life and expressions from the writer,…

    Reading a book doesn’t shrivel up the brain like watching a movie would do. Our minds are restricted when watching something; movies do all of the thinking and imagination for us. When someone reads, their brain is exercising from all the thinking that’s happening. Instead of staring at the computer screen, reading increases one's vocabulary and writing skills. Whenever I stumble over an unfamiliar word, I jot it down, look it up, and add it to my mental dictionary.…
