Chapter 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Being endowed to read is one of the minority key elements needed by man to live to tell the tale. From reading bedtime stories to reading fictional and non-fictional novels, reading has become a vital tool that man is destined to live with. With the few that are able to, there are more that are not and they are usually the ones who rely on sheer strength and will to survive. To die in the depths of your thought is a peaceful way to die.
Letting your mind wander between the pages of the book, brings life to what seems to be something that is only in one’s thought. The existence of the world, theirs and yours, becomes tangled that perhaps the greatest moment of our lives as readers would be feeling as if they were also alive and that our worlds are one. No other action could bring that about other than dreaming.
To read is to enter the world of thought, a world that only a few are capable of understanding and live within as most of us, even the brilliant minds of our world, become so overwhelmed that our only options to live in there and die in our world or just escape their world completely.
Reading with two eyes open and an open mind is a life changing experience. Think of it as you die along with the character you have embodied at the same time as reading their silent dialogues with the rest of their world or perhaps to cry because as they broke their hearts, they broke yours too. You feel them as they try, in their own sense, to feel

    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.…

    Understanding the text, additionally makes you comprehend the information and ask questions. If you read a lot, you probably have a thinking mindset. A mindset is the kind of attitude you have. "Mindsets are just beliefs They're powerful beliefs" (Dweck 16). If you believe you reading is not a necessity, then your mindset will change. You won't think as much. If you continuously read "the habit spurs your brain to think and concentrate" (Gelman 1). Without reading, you won't think as much. Reading causes you to ask questions about what will happen and wonder why someone acted the way they did. Montag, from Fahrenheit 451, doesn't read over an extended amounts of time so he doesn't observe his surroundings and doesn't think. "'Bet I know something…

    Literature is important for three reasons according the book; First books hold quality information. Secondly they require a time commitment, and the final and most important reason is we have the ability to react to our world based on what we as readers gain from the read material. The scary part is this book doesn’t seem too far-fetched from our world today! How close are we to a world without…

    The words will wash over you and create an entire realm of emotion, sound and pauses that can seem to last a lifetime. That is what I understand from this piece by Hisham Mattar, titled The Book. I really enjoyed how much the author put the core of his identity in to this piece, and how readers can really put themselves into his shoes. Almost every child will have a book read to them at a certain point that shapes their imaginative state and can carry them onwards to a streamline for certain genres of books or articles later on in…

    Bradbury writes in Fahrenheit 451, “The magic is in only what the books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.” Fahrenheit 451 was, and still is a masterpiece. This book is like a giant warning sign in the road that says “DANGER AHEAD” but nobody is stopping. They are just running through it, full speed ahead without even glancing at it. Human beings are supposed to be smart, so we need to start acting like it. Reading is so important and so crucial in this crazy, big world that we live in. We need to read so that we can learn, dream, inspire, conquer, and educate. Without reading, we would be absoloutely nothing. Hopefully, people will realize what is happening to us and our society, and will…

    To read means to interpret, comprehend, and understand words or symbols. People all around the world read for many different reasons. Some read to escape reality while others might read to expand their knowledge of a certain a thing. Recently, I read the book Unbroken and was put in a group that had books with hidden similarities that we had to uncover. All of of our books had to do with the topic of survival and lives being lost. As a group, we developed the question that in a situation that puts lives in danger, is it better to sacrifice life to finish a mission, or compromise the mission, but save lives?…

    Books can cast a strange spell over you. It’s the intimacy of being let into such details of a character’s feelings and being that draws you to read The fluency of the writing and the drama, heroism, and intrigue exhibited by the characters can almost be too much for a person. The pure power of literature sometimes wont allow you to set the book aside and leave the characters life. The attraction and attachment of humans to fictional characters through reading is seen in the poem “The Reader” by Richard Wilbur and an excerpt from the short story “A General in the Library” by Italo Calvino.…

    Rex Murphy’s “To Read or Not to Read” is a literary criticism on the works “How to Read and Why” written by Harold Bloom. Murphy explains his views on the importance of reading and asks the question “Why do we read?” His response to this question, he states “Plainly, we read because while it is not necessary to life that we do, life is much easier, more accessible, wider in its potential for those who can and do read, than for those who cannot and do not”. This essentially means that although reading is not a necessity to what we do in life, it makes what we do easier. Further on in this piece, Murphy states that literature teaches and delights and that we read to learn or to find pleasure. This point is extremely correct. Two major reasons…

    Reading is my life. It’s my escape from the world around me. I love getting lost in a story about monsters and myths, or a Cinderella gone wrong. If I didn’t draw as much as I did, I’d probably be the anti-social bookworm in the back, like in all those cliche teenage love stories. It’s actually quite surprising to see how many people dislike books, there’s nothing wrong with a little reading every once and awhile. But who am I to judge? I wasn’t a very big reader myself until maybe two years ago. Of course, that leads to the first reason why I enjoy reading so much.…

    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…

    One of the reading techniques, ‘extensive reading’ is cited from Palmer by Day and Bamford (1998). They suggest that “a reader’s attention should be on the meaning, not the language, of the text”. Establishing meaning and understanding context, they concur is the most valuable tool when learning to express and develop opinions when writing and reading.…

    “Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.”(Douglass, Frederick) Reading is something very few of us ever master, so many little words and often times the real meaning is up for interpretation. Even many of the readings that we experienced in this class were more involved than the words on paper.…

    I never understood the point of reading. My parents first introduced my siblings and I to its world at the early age of two. We were familiarized with letters, taught to link sound the visual and formed words with a stuttering start. We became accustomed to the quiet of Tuesday nights when my father would sit huddled on the sofa – my mother curled up in bed – his long nose buried in a novel, a black curtain cascading from her head to the pages, morphing into one with their respective books. As the night drew close the browns of their eyes would light up, while my mother’s red lips would quiver with excitement and my father would flash a lopsided smile. “Reading is an adventure,” they’d say. I never believed them.…

    I love to read. It is something that I take joy in doing every single day. When I read a book I love, I get lost into the book’s world. I zone out of the real world and forget everything around me. I just zone into the world of the book. One time, I was reading in class after a test or quiz. And, I got so caught up in the book that I didn’t know that everyone finished the test or…
