Many students who struggle with reading ask why should we read, what is the point? The point is that being able to read opens you up a whole new world of knowledge and imagination. But to have that new world opened up you need to be able to comprehend what you are reading. The primary goal of reading is to determine the meaning of

Literature is such a beautiful thing because it does not give us an answer to it's questions. There are so many iffy spots that leave us to develop our own thoughts and feelings toward the piece of work. This is an interesting factor because at many times it affects us in a different way and can develop us as an individual. When reading a piece of literature, one person can interpret it in different ways than another person reading the same piece of work. I remember analyzing poems with my English class in the previous years and when we were asked to interpret it, we all had different answers. Sometimes what I got out of the poem didn’t even go close to the direction that my classmate

Even if you don’t like to read it’s important to know how, and to possibly even find a book you do enjoy. I strongly agree with the saying that there is a book for everyone because I truly think there is. Literary reading can show you how different people can think and their perspectives on certain things. It gives you knowledge on other people and things you didn’t even know about but do now. It informs you on topics and past

Hi Holly, reading for information shows students how to use their minds so they use suitable methods and actions  to complete academic and employment tasks. In addition to this, it also teaches them how to understand and use suitable mannerisms and expressions during college and employment discussions and situations. Students that read for information learn how to follow and draw conclusions when they are discussing various topics with other people. Finally, reading for information encourages students to complete harder tasks and it also helps them prove their skills to teachers and

There are several reasons why I believe reading is important. First, it is an enjoyable pastime. While reading, characters and storylines get absorbed into your brain. This leads to creating bonds and connections to fictional people, forming other worlds we can use to escape our sometimes bitter reality.

This course has helped me with my inquiry and analyzing skills when working with literary work. When reading I would ask superficial questions: “Why did that happen?”, “Why are the curtain blue?”, “What

Reading for pleasure allows your imagination to take over. Books expand our minds, and people who read often tend to have a very creative imagination. When you watch television the images are already created for you, but, when you read, you create the images using your imagination. The possibilities are endless when you use your imagination.

The most important reading benefit in my opinion is knowledge; Knowledge is considered to be priceless and lasts forever. A British writer by the name of Laurence Sterne once said, “ The desire of knowledge, like the thirst for riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.” This is what allowed us to progress farther than any other species. The continuous zest and hunger for knowledge is what drives mankind to keep going and looking for more.

“Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body”, said Joseph Addison, an English essayist. I believe that reading helps one grow and reach their desired goals. Personally, I am still on my journey, and my past and present English teachers were the main aides. My critical reading skills prior to this class were satisfactory. I was able to find symbols, metaphors, and basic literary devices similar to those, but I would rarely be able to deeply connect them to an overarching motif or seek how they contribute to a character’s actions. Often, I would read past a significant literary device, so I would need reassuring from my classmates and teachers to help me to fully understand how that piece is important.

In English class this year, I had a supposedly-major test on The Joy Luck Club, a novel. Ever since we had begun reading the book, I had been confused about things like characters, themes, and basically everything we were supposed to know. The day before the test, I put myself in the shoes of all the characters and tried to figure out the purpose of the novel, the reason the author wrote the way she did, and why we had to read the novel in the first place. Surprisingly, I received a much better grade than I normally did, and I recognized that comprehending parts of a book is much more important than absorbing every detail of the plot. This way, I didn’t completely forget everything I needed to know for midterms and studying was a lot more

1. When I started this course, to be completely forthright, I wasn’t exceptionally fond of reading. There were a wide range of things I would have rather done. I generally felt I had to know precisely what was happening to the characters and how they would end up. Recently, we read Hamlet, Life of Pi and The Great Gatsby. Hamlet and Life of Pi were fascinating, however I completely cherished The Great Gatsby. The reasons I felt so unequivocally towards one and not the others is because of the subtle yet powerful ways F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby, conveys his points through symbolism. I never realized this before and now this is one of the things I look for in new books I read. Had I not understood the symbolism and deeper meanings, I do not think I would have enjoyed The Great Gatsby. These are the little things I now notice and they make reading significantly all the more fascinating. Reading is an extremely important skill. Reading is additionally an excellent way to enhance your general English. While reading Hamlet, Life of Pi and The Great Gatsby, I had a difficult time understanding some of the terminology, mostly due to the fact that I don't read regularly. Reading regularly helps build your vocabulary. Sooner rather than later, I will spend more of my leisure time reading as it won't just help me grow as a reader, it will help me improve my writing skills as well.

Raymond Mar, a psychologist at Your University in Canada and Keith Oatley a professor An The University of Toronto, they both say that “individuals who often read fiction appear to be better able to understand other people, empathies with them and view the world from their perspectives.” I agree that reading certain types of books can help people further understand and see things from a different point of view. Reading helps to open people's eyes and to teach life lessons or to show there are other things to believe in and know other than what they have always been told to know. Getting different types of books, types that are not always the same as the books that you normally read can help you to view things differently. For example from personal experience a new book can help your imagination grow, readings helps me a lot when I need to come up with new ideas for an art class. The new places a book takes you the new images you see while you are reading the new stores you hear and the happy ending your book might have can change the way you are feeling it can brighten up your day.

Reading is a wonderful reality escape.  Not every book I have the chance to receive is easy to read.  Some books are difficult to read due to not having privacy, time management, and having no patience.

Reading develops a person’s creativity. Unlike movies where everything is determined by the producer, writer and director, books allow students to create in their minds how a particular character looks like or imagine how a scene plays out.

Reading can be explained as the process of understanding words found in a paper and being able to use received information to evolution and progress as a person (Dadzie, 2008). It includes understanding both printed and non-printed versions of tones of data. There are many various reasons and aims why people decide to read and these may include reading for enjoyment, spending free time, relaxing, getting new information or maybe for common knowledge.
