Why I Read

        I read because I enjoy it. I find pleasure in getting lost in a book. My world is so boring, I rather travel to Amsterdam or Culver Creek Alabama, or even to a dystopian America like in Divergent and The Hunger Games. I mean how cool would it be to get to be Katniss, or Tris? So cool! That's another reason why I read. The world today, like Tris and Katniss' world, is filled with bad people. It's nice to see someone be brave and stand up to the person bullying them even if that person is a fictional character. They're good role models to younger girls.

        I also read because books are a lot more practical than iPhones or iPads. With an electronic device you need a charger because at some point the thing's going to die. Also if you're reading in the sun with a device you have to worry about the glare. With books you don't have these problems, you can take a book anywhere and not have to worry about anything except what's happening in the novel. At school its the same thing: some classes won't let you have devices out when you finish a test or quiz but unless given other work, I'm pretty sure you can pull out a book and read. I prefer to have the actual book so I can mark pages, take notes, and easily find the pages that have been marked.
