Reading
Reading is amusing, cheap, and convenient for people, yet many do not read whatsoever. In my perspective, I completely agree with this statement, but I am definitely incorrect. According to my data, four over five students said that reading is their ideal activity. Students declared that reading is healthy for them, entertaining, and an excellent form of learning. As some say, reading is extremely healthy for you and your brain. It exercises and stimulates the brain cells and may affect your overall health! It gives you good imagination and it makes you imagine everything you read in good detail. Reading drags you into a little world of your own and you temporarily forget about the outside. Reading books can provide you with hours and hours of entertainment. It a productive way to keep you busy. Most teens prefer genres that fall under the categories of mystery, action, and romance. For instance, books suck as the Hunger Games, Dear John, and the Twilight series. Alternately, a single good-sized book will provide you with knowledge or enlightenment and, sometimes, entertainment as well. A good book will make you think about some aspect of the world around you. It also expands your mind, expands your vocabulary, improves your spelling, improves your word comprehension, and allows you to visit far off land, both real and imaginary. "Reading, like no other medium, can transform your life in a flash, and you never know which book, at which time in your life, might be the one that rocks your world and inspires you to grow in ways you never thought possible." -Burke

    I believe that the reason to why we read is to educate ourselves and also, sometimes, to enter a fantasy world. What I live by is that you need an education to be successful. The reason I read is to educate myself so that I can broaden my way of thinking and expand my knowledge. With a greater knowledge of what is out there in the world, that will make it easier to be successful, not only for myself, but for everyone. There is no way that an individual without the ability to read can be accepted into university, let alone, finish elementary school. Reading is essential for learning not only the school curriculum, but for life as well. Keeping up with the economy, reading news papers, reading instructions, reading street signs, are all a must. Murphy states that reading is not a must, but it makes life easier. I agree with some aspects of this statement, but I also disagree. Yes, reading does make life easier, however I do not know how it would be possible to be a part of a community without the ability to read, with the exceptions of infants because they have their parents there to guide them. To walk in a community, not being able to read what is around them – not knowing where streets are, or what stores are what. This is not only an inconvenience to the person themselves, but to people around them…

    I used to love reading. In kinder and first, my nose was stuck in a Magic Tree House book. Third, fourth, and fifth grade I basically lived at Hogwarts (in my rightfully sorted house, of course, I am a proud Hufflepuff). And in middle school, I discovered THE tween series of my generation, Maximum Ride. Reading was exciting, and even though I had done it for years every time I picked up a book it felt so novel. I was your ordinary bookworm until seventh grade when the joint power of Ms. Green’s teaching and James Patterson’s writing broke my will to read.…

    I’ve never had a passion for reading. I was never surrounded by peers or family that influenced to me read. I always preferred to watch a movie filled with lies than read a book that would greatly impact my life. Now realizing how important reading is I’m stuck in the back playing catch up, which I highly dislike, especially as a freshman student. In English 101 I’m prepared to force myself to read, magazines, newspapers, novel and especially poems. I’ll love to understand when other say “I love reading because, allows me to go places I've never been, experience new things, explore possibilities and learn something new.” I’m into fiction books I like knowing I can fly on the back of a dragon, turn my boyfriend into a toad, marry a prince, save a kingdom, cast a spell, swing a sword and talk to the gods. Just crazy things that never actually happens in reality. Loving reading makes everything possible, dreams come true, your imagination takes flight and your problems fade as you take on the problems of those you are reading about.…

    “The more that you read, the more things you know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go,” wrote Dr. Seuss. Reading has at all times and in all ages been a source of knowledge, of happiness, of pleasure, and even moral courage. My stories have provided a personal library for me to remember everything I learn, experience, and encounter in my life, and how to overcome some obstacles. Through the years I have found that no matter what I read, the act of reading every day has helped me in nearly every aspect of my life.…

    As a young boy reading was never an exciting activity for me. Since the first day I began reading proficiently in the first grade all the way through high school, reading was always a chore. Novel after novel we read in class in which I found myself dozing off into the distance dreaming about everything but reading. The only books I’ve ever enjoyed to this day continue to be Magic Tree House, but after 3rd grade the story line begins to repeat and mock the others, kind of like a Capri sun after drinking them your entire childhood. However, the one thing that those books taught me is that a surprise can always be right around the corner.…

    As I grew up, my yearning and passion for books gradually turned into a lost joy. The excitement I got from going to the library was no longer present; the happiness I received from secluding myself from the world in my room, spending hours of time reading, was gone. All to be blamed by one small step in my life: middle school. So when, in ninth grade, a group of classmates longed for me to read a book called Harry Potter, I was a little skeptical and curious as to what it was and why they wanted me to read it.…

    Reading should be enjoyable and engaging. There is nothing like great books that you cant seem to put down. The books that make you happy, sad, laugh, cry, and the ones that make you stop and think, maybe even reread. When students are given the chance to pick out their own books and read what interests them, they are more motivated than if it was a text they had little to no interest…

    Not many students in high school pick up a book and simply read for enjoyment, Why not though? Most students my age are busy with sports, homework, and their jobs. Not only do we not have time to be entertained by a novel, some choose not to because they think books aren’t amusing to read. This is due to horrific experiences with this subject. In addition, not many students think well of reading. As a below average reading student, without extra help as a new reader at 4 years old, caused me to have horrible reading habits and experiences, permanent hardships and complete avoidance of reading which left me with the lack of reading capabilities that others maintained already.…

    Reading provides the reader with such experience which makes them crave for more. It has been proven to increase memory power, improve one’s language and maintain discipline.

It is the fuel to one’s imaginations. The habit of reading not only provides entertainment but also gives the reader certain amount of satisfaction.
