Thoughts about Reading
A question that has occurred to me as I have thought about getting nonreaders to read more is what does reading matter if my life is in shambles. It seems to me that a lot of students are dealing with some many personal issues that reading is the last thing they want to do. Why don't students revel in getting lost in books anymore? I working out my thoughts on this question.

Mrs. Walter's poem
Emily Dickinson wrote this poem.
I ’M nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell!
They ’d banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
I like this poem because I don't like to be the center of attention. I am a quiet person. I don't like to be in a noisy crowd of people.
