Post 2: What is a book?
To me a book is an object that has pages and that has words that interact with each other to provide a message or a story to the audience. Books can be alive or they can be dead it depends on who is in possession of the book, and what they do with it. I feel like it doesn't matter if you have the physical copy or an electronic, they both have pages and they both have words but one is on a tablet or a phone that you must have energy to power the device unlike the physical book all you need in your eyes your mind and a little bit of light and you have created another world for you that you can escape into even for just a little bit. A book is physical and you can subsitute it for something else it was something you can do anywhere and everywhere with just enough light to read the words on the page. You dont need to charge a device and you dont have to worry about the battery being dead if you have a physical book. A book is a fantasy that you can create with your mind it allows you to be a child if you're an adult you can use your mind as you did when you were younger. You get to be creative and picture a world that you would want to live in such as harry potter you dont get to actually be a wizard but when you can go into that world and be a wizard in you're mind it makes a book that more powerful . A book is power and it is a treat for your mind. I think that honestly I cant be the one to say what a book is all i can do is give my opinion, and if you think you know what a book is, you're just lying to yourself its like thinking about the meaning of life you can't really answer that question you might think you know but in all reality you don't. If you're one to tell someone that thier work is not a book, think about who you are and if you're in the position to tell them that you can define what someone else thinks you can only have your own opinion you can change an opinion . A "book" has limitless characteristics such as words, pages, pictures, the rest is up to you and you have to be the creator of what you think a book is . Books have different objectives some are to teach others to entertain but you can never be certain of what a book is.

Post #1: Why I Read

The reason I read for the most time is for educational purposes, I understand that it promotes imgination and stimulates your imagination. For me I just read because it is a must for school. If it was my choice if was to read or not I would never pick up a book, sometimes when I find a book that fits me, I get glued and cant put the book down but that is very difficult for me to do. I don't have much of an imagination my mind has already thought of everything and the logic behind why it could be possible or why it couldn't be possible and for that reason I think that's why I dont enjoy reading. I read to kill time as well, such as when I go on a trip and my I-pod or other devices die I will pick up a book to kill time. I sometimes read to go to sleep. I also read to keep my grades up it is a must if you want to have good grades and there is no changing that so reading is part of everyones daily life
