A book is a story that shines light into my life. It brings me adventure and entertainment when I have none. With the use of imagery and my imagination I can create a world and a type of mental video out of the story’s that I read. I believe every story has multiple endings that only the reader can see. The author may write the tale but you tell the story through the characters you like and the adventures you go one. The main character of any story is like the sun in a windy day it keeps you worm and safe but doesn’t burn you. The quotes that are above are rather simple views on books they don’t see them as they really are. Your imagination that runs wild through the tails that others have written. It in itself is the author’s expression as well as your own because everyone who reads it will have their own thoughts and ideas on the book and opinions. I kind of agree with the first one but only in the fact that a book is what you see in it. The second person I like the most because they express their views on books as if they are real and have feeling which in a way I can see why she would think that. The last person I don’t even really get what their saying but it sounds like they hate books by the last line of their quote. And it’s sad to see someone who can’t appreciate the beauty of the story because it’s not about the book and what it looks like but the story that means everything. Every book is magical if you see the story and not just the book cover. I believe that all books are good but only if your imagination has the capacity to dream up the story in your head like I do.

Why do i read?
I read go on an adventure to a new world. To entertain me and make me feel free and let my imagination run wild. Everything that I read I can picture in my head and so in a way it’s like a movie to me it just goes until the book ends. When it does end my imagination is running wild for what would happen in the next book or what could happen even if there isn't another book. Reading really gets my mind thinking and predicting about what’s going to happen next and how the story is going to end. It’s the anticipation that really keeps me going throughout the book to see how the story ends. Another thing is that i read for the story, it’s all about the story for me really. I like to hear a good story, a story that has adventure and action but at the same time doesn’t forget about the story not just the action and suspense. The story drives me to keep on going even if things aren't looking so good for my favorite character. I have to know what happens and I will not look at the end of the book until I’ve read every page up until that point because then it makes the story pointless and dull. Hopefully the hunger games will be a good book for me.
