Reading Rocks! discussion

Hi Class!! I'm so glad you're here. :) Please tell everyone here (your classmates from 4th and 5th hour) why you read. Also, explain why we all read. What are our reasons for reading...anything? How does reading help us in our lives?

Reading helps a person sit back and relax it helps a person show there feelings through the books they read and get them excited about reading another book. We read so that we can acknowledge ourselfs about new things and to learn through others research and expiriences. Reading helps us in our lives because we learn from what others have been through and or what they have expiremented with. We also read to satisfy the thrist of knowledge to learn more and use what we learn in our everyday lives. :)

Reading helps people relax and connect to a "different world"

we so we can get are minds dancing

Reading helps me escape my worries of the world and just focus and dive in to my book. It helps me relax

Reading sometimes helps calm down kids and some can put themselves in a different world.

Reading helps everyone. Studies have shown that the more a person reads they seem to be more intellectual. It also helps people relax after a long stressful day of whatever it may have been. It lets you drift off to a world where you no longer need to worry about your daily problems. What more possibly can anyone ask for!

We read to learn and gain information on subjects we do not know about we also read for plesure to relax and see a story in our minds.

We read to gain knowledge about things we don't understand and we read for pleasure

We read to increase our knowledge and explore our minds!

Reading helps me escape the real world for a breif peroid of time and helps me become more in touch with your inner being

To educate ourselves or we just want simple entertainment. ;p

Reading helps people get away from the stress in their life. It takes them into a fantasy that they can control, and do anything they would like. When someone reads it takes them away from the world. That's the reason I read, to get away from life, and not think about all the stress of life, and all the obstacles, and problems in life. You can be your own self, and be whoever you want to be! It's pretty exciting!(: Reading helps to relieve stress in my opinion.

we read because somethimes its fun. other times were FORCED TO !!!!! ;)

we read for an education and sometimes just to relax :)

so we can get educationally and mentanlly prepared for the outside world. Reading is fun and get your mind dancing. It is like a crazy roller coaster ride up in your mind. , you can relax your mind when your mad or when your bored. People read for diffrent reasons , one might be because Ms Miles forces us to , some people read for fun , some read when there sad or mad and some may read for other wierd reasons. Reading is awesome *sometimes.....* and eveyrone should read.

We read so we can turn our minds off for a little bit. Reading is a break from the outside world, which most people really need.

I read because it make sme smile and laugh and it keeps a mental picture in my heead also period also it it gives me a break from the outside world

I personally read because reading is a habit. And i don't want it to sound bad when i say it but its become a habitual thing for me. Also reading is an escape. I thing of Henry David Thoreau and his transcendentalist views on escaping the world and finding a place of peace where our minds and imaginations can flow unmolested. That is why i read. But it may be the same for others as well. It creates a place of security and adventure that one might not get in everyday life. Our reasons for reading vary but in the end who doesn't love a good book? Right now i'm reading and i can think of nothing but this book. That's why we read. to be drawn into an adventure. I feel like reading is a heroic journey. you have to be called and some people hesitate at the threshold but in the end they were happy they picked up the book

I read books because it's really entertaining. Sure, it's not as entertaining as watching a movie, but it's some what similar. You have a vision in your mind telling you the story. We all need to read because it can be an escape. It helps you concentrate on other things and can also take your mind off of stressing situations. Our reasons for reading is to improve our vocabulary and to increase our intelligence. Reading helps us in our lives because it helps relieve any stress in your life so that you can relax and actualyl live your life :3

Reading, by definition, is the action or skill of reading written or printed matter silently or aloud. Although, reading is more than just a skill. It is a way to make your imagination run free. Reading allows us to learn make new and creative things. You can go from fighting off a dragon in the "medieval" times to finding a way to rid cancer. Reading IS knowledge.

I think we read to escape are own reality. I think we feel more safe and secure when we read a book we really like. I think it helps people feel a little more human and at ease with themselves. People should always strive to find a book they love. It will increase your tolarnce for others as well.
