Post 2: What is a book?

A book is a life. When you read a book, you are reading about someone else's moment in life or possibly their whole journey throughout life. Every book is so unique, and every book has its own story. That's what makes it different from all the other books in the world, but that's what makes it the same about where or how you read it. If you read an actual book, you read the same story as if you were to read it from an e-book or a kindle. I agree with Joe Meno, when he states that a book is a place. I agree with this statement because you're another character when you read the book. It's like you're in omniscient 3rd person. You know all of the thoughts and actions of every character, which impacts you emotionally. You feel the same feelings as the main character, which attaches you to the book. When you can  connect emotionally to the characters in the book, that's what usually makes that book on your list of favorite books. I disagree with Tom Piazza, because he states that ebooks and books are two different things. He also says that you don't get a sense of scale if you don't  read the original piece. His thoughts are not ones that I agree with, because of the fact that you are reading the same exact book, just from a different perspective/screen. I understand how some people may think they're different, because of the physical look, but in reality, they are the same thing. You are affected the same way, even if  you didn't enjoy the book. A book posses a combination of many different feelings, emotions, and dynamic changes throughout the book. I personally do not have an opinion in which type of device I read the story from, as long as it's engaging and if I enjoy the book as much as I have others.
