Reading Books: Do you read? Why? Why not? What genres?

Reading books has always been one of my favorite pastimes. Whenever I had free time, I would dive into the world of books. Books always represented an escape from the everyday, dreary life into a vast, unlimited, imaginary world of make-believe characters and their eventful lives.

Books contain stories. Something that we people, as a species, always loved. Stories have connected people from near and far, from bright-eyed toddlers to weathered-faced elders of our past. Everyone loves a good story. They keep you engaged and invested into the lives of characters that only exist in this small, thought out place of writer’s and reader’s imagination. 

Books paint a picture of a world our characters live in and their lives. But books also leave just enough space for us, readers, to fill in the gaps with our own creative thoughts and ideas. I believe that each intersection between the writer’s story and the reader’s own perspective on it creates a unique tale, different to that of other readers’. That is what makes books so expansive and inclusive. Movies show you the character, their clothes, their house, their surroundings. In books, you get the foundation and you build on it, forming something that exists only in your own head.

In conclusion, books as a form of media survived throughout human existence for a good reason. Not only are books a wealth of knowledge, but they are also there to fuel your imagination.

Saveti

Kod pisanja eseja planiranje vašeg rada može biti od velike pomoći. 

U kratkim crtama, osmislite šta želite da kažete u uvodu, šta u razradi, a šta u zaključku. Smislite dva do tri glavna razloga ili tačke o temi koju ste izabrali za vašu razradu.

Počnite pisati. Prva verzija vašeg rada ne mora da bude savršena. Pišite prateći tok vaših misli. Kada sastavite prvu verziju (draft) prođite vaš tekst i ispravite greške, ako ih nađete.

Probajte da ne ponavljate reči. Tu vam mogu pomoći razni rečnici. Redovan rečnik vam može pomoći da proverite značenje neke reči, dok vam rečnici sinonima i antonima (thesaurus) može pomoći da dobijete ideje kako možete istu reč napisati na drugačiji način (sinonimi).
