What do you do more often, hit the play button on your DVD remote or take out the book mark and start reading where you left of last time? That's a tough question for some people and to others, well they could answer it in the middle of the night. If you ask me, it has various answers. First of all, what movie and what book? Movies have everything ready, what the characters look like, the time it takes to watch and sometimes even the emotions you are supposed to feel when watching it. Books on the other hand are open, you have to imagine everything yourself (usually), the pace is in your hands, the feelings you have when reading all depends on you.
Movies...
Excitement, romance, fear, fantasy, humor. Everything has been into movies. Books have been made into movies, and some movies have even been made into books. So what's the point of compressing the two together? If all books are made into movies, who will read the books? Isn't it easier and quicker to just watch the movie, yes. That's the point. If everything keeps getting transformed into movies, why print the book? That's the problem. Some books are suppose to be books and not movies. Will there even be such things as books in the future or just, movies.
Books...
Turn the page, continue reading, the emotions inside of you changes at every new paragraph. You have just opened a new world to discover. You paint the picture yourself according the the outline the author gives you. The real world around you starts getting out of focus and so you become one with the book. That's the charm with them. They let you decide, travel, see, smell, hear, everything they have to offer. Sometimes real, sometimes the opposite. Thick or thin doesn't matter in this case. It depends on you and the author's writing. Can you connect, understand, and most importantly, feel the authors message, the authors story inside and out? I all adds up to you. It is your choice to unlock this new and magnificent world that leads far, far, away.
