I read because it separates me from my daily routine at school and takes me to places that will never be possible in reality but will be possible in my imagination and only in my imagination.

# data[].attributes.body
I read to take up all the space I have /free time because I get bored, and to sometimes to escape reality and worried in their reality

# data[].attributes.body
I read beacuse sometimes i can get really bored and i like to feel like i am in another world :)

# data[].attributes.body
Rarely I read because I want to and because I enjoy it but I read if I have book projects on it or if I like the book.

# data[].attributes.body
The reason why I read is so that I can forget the problems that I have my self and in this world.

# data[].attributes.body
I read to expand my vocabulary and to deep thinking . I also like imagining myself be there.

# data[].attributes.body
It gives me happiness. That and I love the adventure in the books.It also distracts me when I am nervous. I just love the new worlds and characters. - JD

# data[].attributes.body
I read because I love reading! It is something I can do to kind of escape from my own world, reading is what I love to do and I doubt that will ever change... once I start I can't stop and I am automatically whisked away to a wonderful world of craziness and amazement.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because it is fun for me and It makes me feel like I'm in a new universe.I feel calm and relaxed. When I read a book I feel like I'm in the setting of the book. That is why I read. :)

# data[].attributes.body
It helps me escape my reality and helps me get a break from the tough thing we call world. I also read because I love to experience someone else's point of view and life. Their emotions and the way the characters in the book feel affect me. I learn so much about the characters and I love it!

# data[].attributes.body
I read because I like imagining where the book is taking place and the weird thing that I think is that I am not into books that are about mysteries but about girls that have problems i like how it just takes me to a new world.

# data[].attributes.body
I Want To. Its Not Because I HAVE to, Its Because I Want To. Books Are A Good Source Of Information. If Its A Good Book You Enjoy, It CAN feel Like Another World. If I Like A Book, I Read It To The End! If Its Bad,  I Yeet It Back Into The Book Box. It Helps Me Escape Reality~

# data[].attributes.body
I read because I  need to escape what happening. I like to think of books as walls of fantasy you can build up on. You get to read over and over and the books build up and protect you from the reality that is earth. You can think of books that make you see depression as a real hurting cause and how hard it would be to live with, or a book on reincarnation and how easy it is for someone to deceive you. Our human minds are always growing and needing more information, and books are an endless supply of knowledge that is given to us normally, we get that extent of it. Yes, you might night like some books, but when you find that one book. The perfect book. You know when you find it. You know when you need it, and when to think about the things it's talking about. Books give us a calm environment to show us how the world is in a different person point of view. What it's like through a disabled persons view, What it's like through a person with anxiety's view. You can create an entire world that's protecting you with ways to know what others think of the world. Sadly, books will finish. Books can be very long, but still, they all end. No matter how much you love the book, it ends, and you're pulled back to reality. Reality is always waiting for you even when you pick up a new book. There's no escaping endless life, but books spice it up. It's much easier to have normal dinner, but when you add new flavors and spices it's much better. That's what reading in life is like.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because I don't like to face reality or deal with stuff so I escape into a book were they have there own drama so i don't have to think about my own.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because it keeps me entertained. I also read because the books I like are so deep. Books are just so amazing and interesting. I just love imagining and vizulizing the characters and the book. I read so Iḿ not always on my phone or watching TV. I love it. IT IS A LIFESTYLE!!!

# data[].attributes.body
I read because I like to have a fun time killer that I think is interesting and nice.My personal preferance is fantasy because it emerses you in a world and you understand and picture where it takes place like you went through a portal to a different place of imagination.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because it let's me imagine what's going on. It's like living in a different world.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because it can entertain me and expand my vocabulary.

# data[].attributes.body
Why do I read? The simple answer is for pleasure. But what exactly is the nature of that pleasure? Reading removes me from the structure of my life, from the routine, the sequential habits of my day-to-day living. I enter instead another time zone. The plot, characters and setting occupy  and entertain me, and while I read I inhabit the others’ reality. The pleasure therefore is derived from escaping my own small, limited and often repetitive life and entering an exotic elsewhere.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because I love to look at how a character's goal might compare to my current goal/goals or what I might use as my next goal/goals.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because it is fun and entertaining but not if you have to only if you chose to some things like battle of the books are fun because you don’t have to do it every year. I only have to do it if I chose to. when a teacher is like I want this read by then and it has to be that book I don’t like it sometimes because there saying I HAVE to read it.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because it entertains me and makes me feel many different emotions. Reading is my way of learning new vocabulary. Reading makes me mentally feel what the characters feel. It causes me to have a big imagination and learn new things.
-Caden Smith

# data[].attributes.body
I like exploring new ways to overcome problems and learn alongside the characters. Also reading enhances your vocabulary and gives you something to do when you get bored.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because it is entertaining and fun. It helps pass time and you can forget about other things in life

# data[].attributes.body
I love to see the characters face challenges and accomplish their goals

# data[].attributes.body
I read, because not only is it a great way to pass time. It is the foundation of all education, and if your reading skills are not developed neither will your other  intellectual skills
-Nathaniel Belcher

# data[].attributes.body
I read to interest my self in other things i usually wouldn't like. It opens up a whole new world for your imagination.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because you feel like you are in the story when your really not.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because it is entertaining. It also gives us real world knowledge, whether that being good or bad. It increases my vocabulary as well as my understanding of conflicts in the real world.

# data[].attributes.body
Reading is used to learn about worlds far away and right next door. It can be a way to deal with a horrible situation or to escape from an unfavorable reality. When reading, your imagination holds no bounds.
- Jeremy V.

# data[].attributes.body
I read to have a bigger imagination. I love to imagine what I'm reading, like it's actually happening. I love to get lost in a book.

# data[].attributes.body
I read to escape and to experience things I would never expeirience otherwise. I also love the fact that you can feel every emotion with the characters. "A man who reads lives a thousand lives before they die but a man who never reads only lives one."

# data[].attributes.body
I read so I can get lost in the book and feel the same emotions as the characters in the book.

# data[].attributes.body
i read because I love the different outcomes each book, i read for entertainment.

# data[].attributes.body
I read to experience things I could never experience in the real world

# data[].attributes.body
i read because I have to for school, i dont usually like ready

# data[].attributes.body
I read because I like to learn new things.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because I have to.

# data[].attributes.body
I read to learn vocabulary and to have a nice past time

# data[].attributes.body
I read for entertainment

# data[].attributes.body
I like to read for many different reasons. One being obviously for entertainment. I try to put my phone down, or my tablet sometimes and pick up a book instead. Another reason being to learn new things. Whether I'm reading a fiction romance novel, or a book about a certain non-fiction topic, I always learn something new. I could learn a new meaning to life, or even learn how to spell a few new words or their definitions. I like to read so I can expand my imagination. I like to actually get so deep in a book, that I can't even hear anything else around me, because I'm so focused just on that book.

# data[].attributes.body
I read for inspiration and to put myself into another reality by filling the main characters shoes

# data[].attributes.body
I read because , it gives me time out of the real world, its like a movie that you imagine. I read to grow ,to grow my understanding of society and materials. That's why I read.

# data[].attributes.body
I read to escape from the harsh realities of the world and unwind it helps with stress and is my main coping mechanism.

# data[].attributes.body
my mom makes me and for school

# data[].attributes.body
I read because it let's me escape reality and forget about anything bad happening in the world around me. I like reading realistic books because I feel like I understand them better because I can relate to their problems and I used to steal solutions from my favorite books and it usually worked and so I didn't always need help from someone around me to solve everyday problems, my thought process was: "didn't this happen to that one character from that one book? Where did I see that?" I used to not like to read specifically because everyone told me how long to read and which books I had to read by what time and it was all too much but now I love to read because your parents and teacher all know that you (hopefully) know how long you should read and how to decide if a book is hard enough or too hard for you, now it's just so relaxing and entertaining.

# data[].attributes.body
I read to escape reality
OwO

# data[].attributes.body
Reading gives you a sense of escape. You can dive into the problems of character to help you get though your own problems. There are so many different types of stories to discover. It's almost like making a new friend. When your sad, they are sitting right next to you to cheer you up. The make you feel emotions that you didn't think you could have for a fictional character. That is why I read.
Madison A.

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
I read to calm down or just relieve my stress. It helps me concetrate and escape from reality. Sometimes I read just for entertainment.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because so I escape reality. And to further my understanding of the world.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because it gives my brain a further ability to image things in my mind, even smells, tastes, and sounds.

# data[].attributes.body
I read bcause it helps me with social studys bcause I am a huge lover of historical fiction and my worst subject is social studys and it just helps me undrstand it better bcause I can make that connection.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because reading is fun its interesting and I can learn all kinds of things from reading it can teach you about how to do things and something that keeps me from being bored.

# data[].attributes.body
Reading, although I don't tend to much, is a great way to pass time. All in all, I have no reason to read but to pass time.

# data[].attributes.body
The reason I read is split into three parts. The first one being that it's good to challenge myself and learn new words that I could utilize sometime in the future. The second reason is that it can help me escape reality, depending on what genre I read, and it can help relieve stress. The final reason is I read just for the pure fun of it.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because it is a fun alternative.

# data[].attributes.body
I read when I'm sad or something is not going my way to escape for a minute. Also it lets me learn about certain things I might need in life.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because it's fun. It gives me something to do when I don't have anything to do. It also gives me a chance to learn about certain things and life skills that I might need later in life.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because it's fun. I gives me something to

# data[].attributes.body
I have to for a good grade. Since I have a book project and the end of every month I have to read.

# data[].attributes.body
I read for entertainment. I like fantasy books. I love when a book is suspenseful because it makes me want to keep reading.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because it helps with stress. Eighth grade is a stressful time, especially with all the work, and reading calms me down. It helps me forget about the tests coming up and I can just focus on the story.

# data[].attributes.body
I because it's a chance for me to escape all of my problems. I read because I can go anywhere from the comfort of my own home. I LOVE to read about fantasy, it makes me almost wish that fairies, unicorns, dragons, ect. were real. When I read, they are real.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because, most of the time it's exciting. Whether it's a fantasy novel, or a book about a serial killer, you get to witness other peoples lives without them really being there.

# data[].attributes.body
I read to get out of life for a moment so I don't have to focus on  real life I can just imagine what ever I won't

# data[].attributes.body
I read because it gives me a chance to be stress free for an hour or so and not have to worry about the things around me.

# data[].attributes.body
In many books there is an adventure that takes place. So when words are used that are making you picture that place you feel as if you're in the same place as a character.

# data[].attributes.body
I like to read when I want to, not because someone makes me. I like to read because I like to feel the emotions that come with it. When a book is suspenseful, I feel excited and can't put it down.

# data[].attributes.body
As most people I read to escape reality throughout a book and go different places as well as different time periods. I also enjoy read since I get at lot of emotions while reading so it makes me feel as I am with the main character, and sometimes I just read for fun.

If your reading and you have the ability to escape to the books world you can do anything and everything if your focused in it.

# data[].attributes.body
Most of the books I read are fantasy books because the real world is to real and sad, but lately I've been reading books about the sea, full moon, and fictional creatures and it helps me have a better perspective in the real world, and it makes my life so much happier, and even more happy when I think of this magical place

Sometimes life is too hard, and i just want to sit down and go to another place where life is different, and exiting! No offence, Mrs. Yoder...

# data[].attributes.body
I rad becuase it takes me places I may never get to go, I read because it is fun, I read because it entertains me, I read because it uses time in a good way

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes I read for fun too, but when you have nothing to do you can just curl up in your bed with a good book. It will make hours seem like minutes, and then something happens an your no longer bored!

# data[].attributes.body
To me reading is like going to a whole new place with different people than real life.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to like reading, but now I find it hard to keep focus. I try to read new genres of books, but I cannot seem to get through one without putting it back up on the shelf. I occasionally find a really good book that I cant put down, but not often.

# data[].attributes.body
I use reading to back off of life and the stresses that come with it and enter a new world of an author.

# data[].attributes.body
I can imagine the characters and setting well.
