As children, we have the pleasure of being read to by our parents, but as we get older some do not take the time or even like to read. I find this so difficult to understand because I love to read. A story, whether it is the fantasy stories that we all thrived on as children or the literary classics that we learn to appreciate, all have a magical quality to them. Stories take a general concept or idea and let each person interpret it into their own feelings and get something completely different from another person who reads it. And like we are learning in class you don't even have to like the story because that in itself is a feeling that you are taking away. I do think that everyone should have an open mind to others ideas and that is what reading a book or story is all about. The reader should recognize the feelings that the story evoked in him or her, whether it is hate, sorrow, understanding, love, etc, and appreciate that the author was able to achieve that.
