Literary Profile

As a child, my mother would always give me books and encourage me to read stories. I learned how to read quite well at the age of five. My mother would tell me when I read to use my imagination, my brain’s most powerful tool. Just like every girl, I would imagine being a princess or finding a secret garden. Tales are not an idle pastime. I prefer to view them as positive attributions to our reality. The works or literature that I most appreciate are The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. They have almost nothing in common from plot to style. Nevertheless, both books impacted me. The Hobbit had a great amount of moral values worth extracting throughout the story. I love Pride and Prejudice because the author seemed to be a very observant person. This is why she could describe social encounters and dilemmas with such eloquence. My goal is to one day read the original Don Quijote De La Mancha. This book is probably second to the Bible. It is two volumes and in its original castellano, is a very challenging book to read. Other than that, play writes would be the next area I would love to explore.
