Literary Profile of Self

Literature has a strong impact on a person's life and begins at an early age. Growing up as a child I can recall my mother putting me to bed with stories made real through her soothing voice. Pictures lit up the page as I focused on the images that brought words to life. As I grew up the joy of reading continued from picture books to novels and more. Most recently I have followed the trend of girls engrossed in the Twilight Saga. A fairy tale of sorts Twilight captures the heart of readers through its adventure and romance. While this is a fascinating read, it is not the most significant literature in my life. What is the most significant is the Bible and in detail a specific passage from Proverbs verse 4:23, "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life." To me, literature is very important. It is a way of expressing emotions, it has the ability to save memories, explain an event or person, and tell a story. Literature is a very powerful aspect of life.
