I want to follow the Yellow Book Road to a land of wonder and curiosity. Ultimately, I'll reach Emerald City where my imagination and dreams will become a reality. After my long journey with reading again, I will come face to face with the Great and Powerful Oz (or shall I say "the love I once had for reading").
The wizard may have been a hoax in the book and in the movie, but he made Dorothy realize the power to return home lied within herself.
And the power lies within me. I have the power to inspire the love of reading that I once had. So maybe I'm just Dorothy and have the power to click my ruby red heels together and return home-to my love of reading.
I hope you can follow me on my journey down the Yellow Book Road.
I really love the whole layout of your blog. Connecting it to The Wizard of Oz is both creative and cute. Giving key suggestions to what kind of reader you may be and comparing that too the characters of The Wizard of Oz gave a lot of insight. I feel as though anyone can be any type of reader they want to be on any given day. It's not always being one particular style of reading they're bound to. Which relates back to you, you can be a reader like any of the characters depending on the character.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your comparison with The Wizard of Oz! In truth, this blog will be a journey for all of us as we all try to reunite with our old love for reading. I'm very excited to see what your first book choice is since I'm sure you'll have a lot of interesting things to say about. I'm sure you already are, but I think it would be really cool if you incorporated you Wizard of Oz theme into all of your blog posts!
ReplyDeleteKendall, I love this post!! Your comparison to Dorthy and yourself helped me realize your position when it comes to reading! This is amazing, I hope the rest of your posts compare to the Wizard of Oz. The beginning of the post made me want to continue reading instantly. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteTo me, the repetition of “Maybe..because” in the first paragraph really engaged me as a reader, and I want to know which “maybe” will fit you at the end. However, at first I didn’t realize the connection because I have limited understanding of The Wizard of Oz, but I absolutely love your idea with the characters from Wizard of Oz, it is so original and creative. Your creativity motivated me to read different books, so I can relate the characters from the books into my writing. I am looking forward to learn from your style of writing and follow your journey down the Yellow Book Road.
