Pictures and words

I find this weeks blog topic fairly difficult to write about because it is about reading. Personnaly I hate reading and do not do it very often if ever. However I will try my best about talking about reading books with pictures and without pictures and how I approach them.  One of the few books I do enjoy reading is Dr.seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This book contains several pictures on every page. I feel that when I read this book I just read the words and then look at the picture after I finish reading the page. To be honest I do not go  into much depth while looking at the pictures or reading the words.  I just look at the pictures because I enjoy looking at colorful pictures, I am an very simple person and do not like to complicate things because I feel that will ruin it for me.  I know in class we learned how pictures can mean a lot more then just a simple fun picture,  but I still do not try to analzye things anymore than I have to.  I also take the same approach for reading books without pictures. I just simply do not go in depth at all, for example I read the book The Lord of the Flies. I would think most people would consider this book to be very visual and would analzye it by thinking  about what the books settings looks like and what the characters look like but, not me. I simply just read the book and do not think about much except what is going to happen next. I do not wonder what a paticular scene in the book looks like I just read. Even after I saw the movie of  The Lord of the Flies I was not like wow im surprised Raplh (one of the main characters in the book) looked the way he did I just did not care I just watched. So overall my approaches to reading book with pictures and with out pictures is the same which is to not analzye or think just enjoy. I also do not plan on changing this way of approaching books anytime soon. (368)
