A book is a portal to another world.  It can take you to places that you could never imagine.  Books are images that take minds of genuis to create.  They can take you to a medival Europe or two thoasand years in the future in a futuristic city.  They can take you to a war where you fight an enemy that could destroy a world in seconds or in a relatonship with a dashing hero or heroine.  You could go back in time to stop an assassination of an influencial figure of a country or to kill one.  You can fight against nazis in the second world war or you can save slaves from a depressing plantation.  You can stop a war before the people you protect ever knew or you can salvage an alliance between two nations.  Books are your friends there for you when you need them.  They relieve stress or can make you laugh.  They can comfort you or they can enrage you.  They can make you sad or happy.  Books are what you make them out to be.  They can be a being or a pile of paper to a person.  It all depends on you, whether you can see a book as the world it describes or you can't and you see a piece of paper with words that mean nothing to you.  Books are not words on a page they are a portal, they are your friend, they are exactly what you depict them to be.  You can leave a world and enter another that is more lively or more imaginable.  You could be a secret spy even though your under eighteen or they could tell you a story just like what mom used to do when you were five or you can see a planet that is green as in the grass is greener on the other side.
