Sophie is a reader, she learned to read by listening to her mom read to her when she was young. People read because it is like exploring a new place, you get to read about characters and imagine them any way you want. Reading can be a way to relieve stress to many people because it allows them to forget about what is going on in their lives and they can focus on the lives of the characters in the book. In order to be a good reader, Sophie believes that the reader should let go and allow themselves to feel what they are reading, and to understand what is going on in the book. Reading is easy for Sophie because she finds books that interest her and then she allows herself to get to know the characters in the book and to picture what they look like while reading. The hardest part about reading for her is when she starts a book and it doesn't interest her right away, its hard to get yourself to read further into a book if the beginning doesn't snag the readers attention. When Sophie chooses a book to read she looks for a book that is about things that interest her, the quality in a good book is when the author knows how to work with their vocabulary and use words that make you feel what they are saying. Sophie reads at home often, she enjoys it a lot. Sophie feels that reading is one of the best ways to relax and entertain ones self.
