Descriptive Essay On Wattpad

Decent Essays
I have loved reading since the 4th grade and always want to read before I go to sleep. I have found many books that I absolutely adore. I started reading on Wattpad in high school when I did not want to carry a book around with me everywhere, but I still wanted to read whenever I felt like it. I started looking into the iBooks app, they wanted about ten dollars for a book you could not even hold in your hand? When I could read an entire book in just a couple of nights, it actually added up to be expensive. I was not going to go for that. So I searched the app store and found Wattpad, which I have enjoyed and used ever since. I really enjoy reading on Wattpad it provides so many conveniences. Wattpad is an online community where users can post …show more content…
I am the type of person that wants to know what is going to happen next or the I need to know the ending type. If the writer decides that they do not like the book anymore and quit uploading it, then I am out of luck. There I am at the end of chapter 36 just dying to know what is going happen next and the writer never finishes the story so it stays in my library just waiting to be updated. I envision maybe this happened or I write out the ending in my head, but I never feel like it is as satisfying as what the author was writing or even come close to how they would have finished it. On to the next one I tell myself and get all wrapped into a whole new story. Sometimes I will get so wrapped up in a story I just lay in my bed reading all night long not even going to sleep till I read every last word. I finish and feel so accomplished, but at the same time so sad because such a good story is over and I am never going to be able to experience the story the same way again. A downfall to having so many authors most writing multiple stories on the app is all the stories there are to choose from. Sometimes I spend an hour looking for the perfect next story because there is just so many on the site. For every amazing story there three dozens lousy, sub-par, junkie stories. But that 's just, like any site that lets the user choose what they want and when they want it. I spend more

    In the novel, Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, Montag, the book-saver, tried to escape the world of the overwhelming technology. Social activities were replaced by inane TV shows where clowns tear their limbs apart, families are replaced by the “family” on the television, and where thoughts are stopped by deafening TV commercials. Bradbury’s vision of today seems to be precise seeing that people started to care less about each other, people stop thinking due to the overload of technological advances and TV screens replace books. “‘Henry, open up the iPad for Jenny, she’s been crying a lot lately. Keep her quiet for just an hour, I need to finish up this work.’…

    I’m not sure exactly why I feel this way; maybe it is because you get to imagine what you are reading and are not bound by the depiction on a screen. I’m not however the first to think this; many prominent figures such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffet strongly believe reading makes you a smarter person and gives you power. The power of reading is not only mentioned in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World it is the main focus of Fahrenheit 451 which depicts a dystopian world where all books are burned to keep citizens complacent and powerless. The lessons and insight about life that reading has presented me this year were very interesting and impactful.…

    The article “Is is Story that Makes Us Read?” by Christian Lorentzen explains why we only get thin traces of plot after finishing even one of the most memorable of stories. Lorentzen explains at the beginning of his article that if you recite a plot backwards you might discover that you will only receive a little about the plot. This is because when we close the book we are left with a head full of images, lines, and emotions not necessarily the plot of the story. Although some may say that reciting the plot is quite easy, myself included, they mistaken the summary of the story for the plot.…

    When you read a story of any kind you become immersed in the story. You think about it in your waking moments or you can critique it in every way, but when that story ends you feel like something in your life went missing. In the end you realized it still was great experience and learning that has come out of that story. From courage and hope or motivation you still gained something and will cherish the book and the new world around you. Author George Saunders has said “ when you read a short story, you come out a little more aware and a little more in love with the world around you.”…

    I read the last page of books first to see if they are worth reading. It goes against what most people believe but it helps know if you are going to be accepting of how a book ends. The book The Lost Boy by David Pelzer ended in a way that made it worth reading and throughout the book it held up to the expectation of how the book will make the reader feel by the very end of the book. The author of the book lost boy is David Pelzer. David wrote a book series of three books including A Child Called It, The lost boy, and A Man Named Dave.…

    The ending of a story is extremely important. There are three types of endings that are significant; happy, unhappy, and indeterminate. Happy endings are when the protagonist solves their problems with either themselves or someone else. The story would usually end with a “happily ever after.” An unhappy ending is usually more about reality because in real life a happy ending is hard to find.…

    I chose to research about technology for my Outside Reading project for multiple reasons. One reason is that technology is the topic that most interests me since there are many possibilities with it and it’s never known what can happen to it. Another reason is because technology is a lot more modern today than they were back then because people rely on them more than they used to. Finally, technology is fun to play with and it’s also very fun to see what is going on about it and what breakthroughs have happened recently. The “Researchers enable patient to use brain to move fingers on prosthetic arm” article was the one I liked the most for several reasons.…

    In the essay, “ The Lonely Good Company of Books,” by Richard Rodriguez,he mentioned to his readers in the very beginning that he was not big reader as a child.

The lack of reading to the Rodriguez house was the very opposite of mine.…
