This blog is going to be a little different compared to others. This week, instead of stating my opinion on something, I am going to talk about how I am feeling. Reading this blog may help you get to know me better. Please note ahead of time not everything will be positive. Before I start explaining how I feel most days, I am going to explain why I feel the way I do.

Whether it be for a book or movie, everyone has a genre they like most. One that I like the most would be fantasy.
Fantasy is a genre stories revolve around magic or supernatural forces, rather than technology. Stories from the fantasy genre are set in fanciful, invented worlds or in a legendary, mythic past that rely on the outright invention of magic. A . E Marling asked over 200 people 'If you could choose but one word to describe why we love fantasy, what would it be?' With the answers he got, he listed off the top ten words. People like fantasy because the genre is fun. Most tales, tell of an adventure that the characters face. Some people like the magic within the book. It allows people to imagine what it is like to use these powers and experience using magic. Fantasy is full of imagination. Not everything has to be true within the story that is being told. The would could be made up. Then there is the fact it is a way to escape. Some people use fantasy to escape from reality, their day to day life. From when I was really young, to now, I have always really liked fantasy. Reading books from that genre is what gives me the imagination I have now. Lately, I have been reading more, because I find the books I read to be an escape from reality. There are some people who don't like fantasy. I think the a reason for that is, some people prefer realism. It all depends on what you like. |
