Readicide


No I think readicide isn’t a problem in school and there are many reasons why. Say you get assigned the Hunger Games to read for class. Then let’s say the rest of the day you get a lot or just some homework you are not really going to want to read it because you have homework already and no one likes having to read after homework. Now let’s say it’s the weekend and you happen to see the book lying around somewhere and you decide to read it. Since you have time and nothing to do and you want to read it you are going to like that book more and read it a lot than if it’s assigned by school. I think that we should not add more genre fiction to the school I think that if we do that we will just see those books as part of the nuisance to read for homework and won’t like that genre or books in general. There are some classes in school that let you choose your book. Like Best sellers and that’s an okay class to read for since you get to choose and it not being assigned by a teacher.

 I am reading a book called Let Me off at The Top! It’s narrated by Ron Burgundy and I got to choose it so it is more of my style so I will read that book more.  What an English class should look like in the 21st century it should look like what it looks like now. You need to read those boring books so you get the line between boring school books and what you really want to read. If you don’t have that line then it all becomes one big mess of books you will never want to read. If my favorite book was assigned in school and I had never read it I wouldn’t have because it was assigned in school and it already seems boring. That’s why schools need to make a class like bestsellers to make a class that student s get to choose their book so they want to read and it is for school. But you need to read boring books at school to so you get the line between want to read and I want to burn this book it’s a fine line trust me on that.
