Do I Have to Read It
By: C. BaileyLloyd
Often when I run across a good novel or even after Ive written an interesting piece myself; Ill offer the stories or summaries to my teenagers Usually their first response is Do I have to read it And many times I will reply No you dont have to read it but I bet youll find it interesting.
While time has evolved kids and adults alike are less inclined to check into local libraries for literary enjoyment. As a stark awakening I find that most children eagerly seek other forms of entertainment in the forms of multimedia such as video games cable television film and yes the Internet too. While movies TV and the Worldwide Web are phenomenal means of artistic and informational conveyance they do not adequately serve the human imagination.
My first real interest into indepth novels began when my 5th grade teacher Mr. Drozdowski introduced our class to William Shakespeares play MacBeth. I found Shakepeares works intriguing and viewed his literature as a renewed breath in poetical literary expressionism. I further immersed myself in other literature like the Nancy Drew series Jack Londons Call of the Wild and Alexandre Dumas The Count of Monte Cristo.
When we pick up a book we actively engage and submerse ourselves in the storys plot. Books allow us to conjure the minds unlimited imagination.
When we read a book it enables us to become creative in thought as we hold complete power as to what the imaginations eye sees. Whether its an evillooking Cruella DeVilletype Lady Macbeth; or as in Hans Christian Andersens The Little Mermaid we could invision an impeccable beauty with long flowing aquamarine hair. The minds eye is infinite.
Today we virtually have the world at our fingertips. If you are ready to dive into fantasy scifi drama philosophy heroism suspense mystery or whatever interests you there is a world of literature that will not only open your eyes but will pull you into its characters its sorrows and laughter...and sometimes it may even make you believe in fairytales!
If you havent done so already visit your local library or bookstore and get ready for the thrill of your life! Its waiting for you now.
