Learning lessons??
What is the purpose of reading fiction? Is it strictly for pleasure? Or, perhaps, is it done only to complete an assignment or AR quiz? Does the story ever make you think about why this or that occurred? Do you as a reader identify with the characters that the author creates? Does the word “theme” enter your mind if a teacher has not reminded you to identify one? Are stories meant to teach the reader lessons?
I read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins over spring break. This is a story that makes a reader pause to consider absolute control through both physical hunger and the psychological drives of fear and survival. This is a story that teaches on many levels of respect (or lack of) for human life and dignity. For many readers it will be primarily a game like the title suggests, a question of which one has the best weapon or stategy. Others if they choose can ponder some of life’s lessons–fairness, friendship, and choices. It begs us to look deeply at ourselves and ask which character we see as a reflection of our own personality and actions.
I think that reading fiction is not strictly limited to, but mostly done for, finishing an assignment like taking an A.R. test. A story can make you think about a more subtle background to it than the words on the paper, but only if the book has an enticing storyline and an attractive plot. After being brainwashed by teachers to observe themes while you’re reading, the act of observing themes is always omnipresent at the back of your skull.
Fiction books are simply many worlds of imagination, what the author creates as interest to the reader. Not all fictions are complete imagination though. Some fictions are pretty realistic. An incredible fiction series that I’m readin at the moment is The Clique. I STRONGLY recommend this book to any girl out there!
Fiction books can be for thrill, sorrow, or joy. I read fiction to put myself in the characters place and to feel whatever they feel, their pain as the sword comes down. The freeness they feel as they fly on the dragon. Reading fiction lets you be wherever the character is. Fiction books are the best!
Fiction is easily anything. In fiction, anything can happen. A lion can have six heads, or a snake an be the size of a skyscraper. I enjoy reading fiction because everything can happen.
fiction books are intersting because they are not of true things and i read them every time im bored.
fiction books are sometimes boring and intersting but i read them every time.
I think that Fiction books are written to Exite the reader.Especially if the reader has a dull life, a fiction can make them imagine themself that way. For instance a Story about a knight slaying an army of Undead with himself and companions makes the reader think what it would be like if that really was their life. So basically fiction is written to Entertain a reader.
I think that people write fiction books to entertain the reader. Fiction books help open a person’s imagination. Unfortunately, many people read only for AR quizzes or tests. Hopefully, you read for enterainment.
