There is an argument among some people about whether reading fictions or short stories is more pleasant than watching films. I fully concur with people who claim that reading is a better past time compared to watching movies, and attemt to explain my belief with undeniable fcats.
First of all, reading books requires your brain to make characters, voices, and the worlds inside your head, making you a co-creator of the story; This helps readers to understand character’s hidden thoughts, complex emotions, and internal struggles, meaning that individuals not only read the novels but also live with charcters, thereby more people are likely to be captured by writer’s compelling story telling ability. In contrast, movies hand people the director’s visual interpretation, leaving little room for audience to use their personal imagination. Additionally, the side characters, subplots and history of the story are often cut due to strict two hours time limit, leading to misunderstanding, and so making people reluctant to continue to watch.
Furthermore, the reading yields more benefits for people; unlike films, books remained their educational importance. They aim to educate people or at least to drow people’s attention to some serious social problems in a society, or they help understand human psychology by exploring characters’ mental delimmas throughout the book. For example, Fyoder D in his Crime and punishment perfectly explained the consequences of disparity in society, powerty, and mental breakdown due to financial struggles. The lines in this novel are so thought provoking that wakes you up in the real world, turns you from delusional, fatalist human being to realist one. Moreover, reading strengthen your brain capacity, making you mental able to easly cope with technical and long texts. Since, people want to learn spontaneously while reading or watching, they assume fiction books or stories viable option.
In conclusion, having delving into topic, it appears to be that reading has more to offer to readers both in terms of education and relaxation.
