Blog Post #1

The quote I chose for my descripton was "There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island."- Walt Disney. I chose this quote because a great book doesn't just give me something to do, but also gives me an imagination. It lets my imagination fly with wonder and lets me create my own story. If I didn't have books, my imagination would be no where. Books also show me that I'm not alone. When I can relate to a story, I tend to really enjoy it. When I'm able to relate to the characters I feel like I'm in their position. I think of what the author plans for them to do and sometimes I even use it in my own life. Knowing that other people go through some of the same things I do, lets me see that someone else reading the same book I am, can be feeling the same way. It makes me feel better. Most novels tend to have a goal or lesson in the story and I tend to use it.The way the author creates the character's life, takes me into a whole other world when i read. I get lost in books. I feel like I'm with the characters on their adventure that the author is telling. The treasure in books gives me a free ticket to a whole new adventure.
