Write two paragraghs about a book that opened new doors for you. If the book had a profound impact on you, explain why. If the book was pleasurable for you explain in detail the pleasure you experienced.
I have enjoyed many books in my long life. I remember reading "Great Expectations" in ninth grade. I was mortified by the size of it. I never thought I would finish it. I challenged myself to complete it and I was able to. It took me an entire year. I did not finish it in time to pass any tests in English class though. After I was done with it I kept it on my nightstand for two years. I read "Siddhartha" in seventh grade. I was so moved by the self sufficiency and beauty of the characters that I ran away from home. I took the book, an apple, and my dog. I was going to hitchhike across the country to locate my destiny. I was gone for one hour; my parents did not even know I had left.
