Definitely the one series that I count down the days until the next issue |
Is it possible to be both a good
reader and a bad reader? I couldn’t help
comparing myself to C.S. Lewis’ description and I found that I could fall into
both categories. For example, I do read
or watch movies sometimes when I want to just enjoy the story and the action or
comedy in it. However, I become immersed
in another world, one that is structured and vastly different from my world of
schoolwork. It might be weird but I like
to study the characters, trying to figure out why they do what they do and just
why do I like them so much (I feel like I need to do this sometimes because I
am one of those people who can watch the same movie several times in a row,
just looking at the animation or just absorbing the whole scene). This is one aspect that I am unsure of: a bad
reader only reads something once and is always looking for the next thing. A good reader can be like this sometimes,
like when something is in a series; the story is unfinished and you want to
know what happens next (even to the point of making up different scenarios that
could happen, which I am guilty of).
There is one thing that I want to
say in defense of shows that have more comedy than deep meaning. I think that comedy films summarize up what
people feel every day. What I mean is that we can see ourselves in people like
Buster Keaton, the exasperation in everyday life. It is true that the choice is either to laugh
or cry, though laughing is more rewarding (exercise those muscles)!
