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.

This is a beautiful memory: "Growing up as a child I can recall my mother putting me to bed with stories made real through her soothing voice."
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you find literature important and that you continue to read, having had "the joy of reading" instilled in you as a child.

"Pictures lit up the page as I focused on the images that brought words to life." So, first, that was a very poetic line. I liked it. "A fairy tale of sorts Twilight captures the heart of readers through its adventure and romance." Second, both of these lines make me think you could write reviews of books and/or movies for a living - like the stuff you read on the back covers of said movies and books. Just a thought.
