Essay On Hate Reading

Improved Essays
I used to hate reading, it didn’t matter what book it was. Fiction, Non-fiction, Biography, Autobiography, none of it interested me at all. I also don’t have a good attention span, so if I didn’t like a book in the beginning my ears would shut off. I would stop listening to it, or I would stop remembering what I had just read. Until my freshman year, I wanted to do good in high school because high school is when grades start to matter. I had Mrs. Eischeid for my freshman year English I teacher, she told me we were reading this book both as a group and individually. I enjoy reading as a group because it isn’t only me who has to read and when I read as a group I think it makes me pay attention more so I know what I am going to be reading about and when it is going to be my turn to read. So the book we were going to be reading in class was called “to kill a mockingbird” I payed attention through the whole book and actually helped my friends when they asked me what was going on in the book. I used to give them a summary of what had happened in the book throughout …show more content…
That is why there is supposed to be work cited pages so we can research and learn stuff about the topic so we can have a good essay. But essays are so much better when you can write about things that you know a lot of information about. For example, maybe sports you have played for awhile, or family members you have known your whole life. Rather than things like an essay I wrote over the “Scottsboro Trials” my freshman year. Now I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy writing about this. But I didn’t enjoy researching and having to go so far into search just to figure out what happened in these trials. I think that if I were to be doing an essay over a holiday I would have a way better chance at actually getting a good grade on the essay because if personal background and knowledge I have on

    Unlike the literature I am required to read during the school year, the books that I read for pleasure are more focused on issues that can relate to one's actual life. The books I read for pleasure are more of a release. For example, I read "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel to get a better view on the idea of intangible belief and dry factuality. I enjoyed "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury because it provided a new perspective on the idea of censorship. I also read "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Of Mice and Men" in order to receive valuable insight on the idea of loss of innocence.…

    Even in school it was hard for me to read because it was boring I would be falling asleep in class trying to be reading a book every time there was just something about it I couldn’t do it but like he said page 52 “it didn’t bother me if I was the lowest reader in class”. In my English/reading classes we would have to read a book and then write about so I would skim it and then write my essay. But this is probably why I really don’t…

    I always read as a kid. I was the small boy who plowed through books day and night, my mom scrambling to and from the library just to keep up with me. The only thing fixated on my mind was reading a new book and being totally captivated by the plot. Since then, I read less and less, sometimes going months without finishing a book. I feel sad that I spend less and less days staying up to midnight just to read one ... more … page.…

    Ironically, though I wasn’t immediately taken with reading, I became an avid reader after those first few difficult years. I was a regular at my elementary school’s small library, and I competed in everything book-related that I could. Battle of the books, spelling bees, and English classes were my favorite pastimes in grade school. Other children dreaded completing summer reading and literature studies, but I looked at reading…

    This was the first book I truly enjoy reading and made me realize the importance of reading as a whole and how it effects my academic future. Reading was really never boring to me. Due to the fact I had some really entertaining English teachers over the years. When the teacher would read or play the tape of the book and we had to follow along that wasn’t a problem for me, that in fact made the books more enjoyable and fun to listen to. I Especially notice that when my English teacher for 7th grade Mrs. Matthew would change her voice to match the character, setting or the scene we’re at in the book.…

    I couldn 't find a way to make myself interested in the things I was reading. Every year there was a new summer reading assignment and every year I didn’t read it. I would try to but along the way I would end up opening Sparknotes and reading the summaries of each book instead. At times I felt bad because I knew that I should be taking advantage of the access I had to those books, but they bored me. I longed to be able to dive into books and absorb everything in them, but I couldn’t get more than my toe in the water.…

    In seventh grade, my reading experience went farther downhill. The teacher expected us to do projects reflecting over what we had read every time we finished a book, with a minimum of five per trimester. I hated doing these reflection projects, so my quantity of reading fell further to just five books every three months. However, the final nail in the coffin of my reading came in eighth grade. On the first day of school, the teacher informed us that the only genre we would be allowed to read for out reading logs, which were unnecessarily complicated, was nonfiction.…
