What is a Book

What is a book?

So, let’s start with a rhetorical question today, “What is a Book?”. If you looked in a dictionary like I did before writing this blog, you would have gotten, “a handwritten or printed work of fiction or nonfiction, usually on sheets of paper fastened or bound together within covers.”  But let me tell you that isn’t a book, ok say that you agree with the Dictionary.com’s, then you are telling the whole world that a Chemistry textbook can also be a book, well… THAT IS WRONG, b/c a textbook doesn’t have trilling sense, drama, action, and romance, pretty much everything that a movie has. Well, let me tell you my definition of the word “book”.

To me a book is pretty much a movie in my hands that I have to watch with my eyes looking at words and making an imaginative movie in my head about those word. A book is another dimension that a reader like to go into to fill their heads with enlightenment ideas, and also a place where girls would more likely to worry about if John and Savanna will ever meet again (From Dear John). “Books can not be killed by fire. People die, but books never die. No man and no force can abolish memory … In this war, we know, books are weapons. And it is a part of your dedication always to make them weapons for man’s freedom.” –Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1882-1945 32^nd president of the United States, even Mr. Roosevelt agrees with my definition (which makes no sense b/c the fact that he isn’t even alive in our time generation) because when he says “a book is a weapon”, he means that a book is a man’s strength and it is the reason why he is able to be smarter and more successful in life, which is basically a short form of my definition.
