Shania+Presley

Shania Presley loves to read, she learned to read by having her mother read to her as she followed along. Which is how many other people learn to read as well. Some of the first books she remembers her mom reading to her were **//If a Mouse Gave You A Cookie//**, **Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Day**, **Amilia Bedelia, and Rainbow Fish.** Once She got a little older she started to read the **Junie B. Jones Series** and the **Goosebumps Series** any many **boigraphys** and **autobioraphys** about gymnasts.There are various reasons why people read, but she mainly reads for just the simple fact that she enjoys reading; it's an escape. People read for information as well. In order to be a good reader she believes that you need to have a good imagination, patience, a book that interests you and merely a quiet place to read. Reading has always come easy for Shania because it's her time to get away, she can place herself in the characters shoes go on any adventure that that character is going on in that book. It's a place for her to go when she has to stay where she is and get away from the reality of life. When she is reading she doesn't think about anything else, it's a way for Shania to relieve stress and just relax for however long she may indulge in that book. The hardest part of reading for Shania is that she is Dyslexic. Shania leans more toward books that are nonfiction, she likes the real life element about books. She enjoys books that she can relate to over books that are fiction. Shania tends to read before she goes to bed every night, it helps her relax and gives her time to settle down before bed. She believes that everyone can relate to certain characters in books that we read and it can help us approach real life situations that are handed to us.

Shania's love for writing started when she would write about the struggles going on in her life to get them out. It was a way to get her feelings out without having to discuss them with anyone. She enjoys poetry because she can write about something without having to tell the full story behind it, she can say a few words and you can interpret it however you may like, relate it to whatever is going on in your life at that time. One poem can have thousands of different meanings, a different meaning for every person that reads it. People learn to write when they begin to express how they feel and discover how to write their feelings down on paper. People write for miscellaneous reasons, for one people write to sort out their feelings, writing your feelings down on paper makes it easier to understand how you feel and what's going on in the situation. People write for pleasure, to explain stuff about a certain topic, or to tell a story in a way that the author experiences things. The list could go on and on for why people write, it all depends on the person. Shania believes that you should never have to "think" of a topic to write about, it should be something that you have a fascination with, or something that is going on in your life or something you have been through in the past. When beginning to write about something it should be something that you have a strong feeling about whether those feelings are from hate, anger, lover or happiness, the writing should reflect a certain feeling from the author. Shania Presley writes whenever she is going through a hard time and needs to get her feelings out. She writes down her feelings then later produces them into a poem or a short story.
