“A written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together along one side and bound in covers”
The Oxford Dictionary creates a typical image of what we thin a book is. It has a cover that envelopes the words on the numerous pages that has been written to entertain the reader.
However, when we got the task last week to create our own interpretation of a book from our trip around Lincoln, this is not what I thought defined a book. To me when someone tells me to read a book, my initial reaction is joy and fear. I love to read, but I love to read topics and genres that I find interesting, not something that you had to learn while studying your English Language A-level exam.
My creation of a book symbolises how my brain works, especially with having dyslexia I find it quite hard to take in the information that I have just read so I have to re-read sentences or paragraphs so that I understand it.
1) It’s cliche to say, but a picture really does say a thousand words. I chose the image as the ‘cover’ of my book as I think it explains everything a reader needs to know.
2) This picture represents my inspiration from my research of Tennyson. It conveys my outcome of what I have read, my creativity.
3) This image conveys my research and enjoyment for Tennyson further
4) This image starts to convey my brain refusing to take in information and all I see is words after words that don’t make any sense to me.
5) This final picture shows my lack of concentration and the ability to not take in anymore information.
As you can see the book doesn’t have a back cover as I feel that a book is never truly finished. For example, Shakespeare’s work is still being studied today and being developed into new pieces of work.
