Reflection 3

To me, a book is an escape. It’s a chance to leave your world behind and jump into a new one. The characters become your friends. You begin to feel a part of their story. I think that’s why whenever you finish a really good book; you’re left with that empty feeling inside. When you read those final words, you’re reminded that you have to go back to your own reality and you were never really a part of theirs. Books, in a way, are like people. In the same ways you hear rumors through the hallway, you hear about the good books and the bad. It’s what urges you to go over and introduce yourself. Get to know the person. That person becomes a part of your life, and you become a part of theirs. Just like a book. And just like people, books come in different shapes and styles too. You might get along with a certain type of person and you might hate another. That’s why I don’t think it matters whether a book is on your phone or in hard copy. It all depends on what feels comfortable to you. In the end, the story is the same. What it looks like on the outside, shouldn’t matter as long as you like the story inside.
