▶ Your Answer :
When movie first appeared, people were surprised that such stories can be seen so realistic. Hence, the movie industry developed and even formed Hollywood and Bollywood. Some people started calling that movie is much more important than the movie. Nonetheless this statement is neither true nor reliable. I believe reading fictions are more important than watching movies for three reasons; provoking imagination, reading skills, and also keeping health.
To start with, reading fictions make people more imaginative. Different from movies that provides story in a concrete detail without leaving space for any imagination, novels leave plenty of space for imagination. When people use imagine about the surroundings and the person’s appearance they can go beyond the present. They can have rich imagination and think out of the box. For example, when Harry Potter was first published, I read it with my full imagination without any interruption. I had my own thought of how Harry Potter will look like and how Hogwarts (the school Harry Potter goes to) will look like. However, when the movie was released, I was disappointed because it was not as wonderful as I expected. If I had watched the movie first, I would have had a limited image of what is depicted in the movie.
Secondly, people can improve reading technique. Reading well is very important nowadays since mass information is provided through book. Compare to movies which just require time, book actually requires person’s full attention and eyes. By reading fictions, people can have better reading skill. For example, my Uncle Sam used to hate reading. He hated because he had hard time concentrating on the book. Hence, when he went to the university, he had difficulty getting good grades because of thick text books. Whereas, when he started reading a fiction Jane air, he fell in to the story. He finished a book in a day. When I continuously recommended a book which seems like his type, he read it again. After continuous reading he became good reader. Today, he can’t go anywhere without a book. Therefore, now he gets good grades in university.
Lastly, reading book is healthy. Nowadays people are exposed to electric devises too much. They have hard time living without electronic devices. Those electric devices always exert electromagnetic waves. This wave is very harmful for the human that it can even create a cancer, while book is made of eco-friendly material. I do not harm people’s health. According to recent newspaper, a person, who has been addicted to smart phone and brought it everywhere even during the shower, has passed away due to being overly exposed to electromagnetic waves. All in all, there is reason for people’s use of book even though movies are much more convenient. Book has been providing us information since ancient period. Consequently, I believe fictions are much more important for imagination, reading skill and even for health. |
