The quality of a cup of tea depends primarily on the tea
leaves, as good leaves can naturally brew a fragrant and flavorful cup of
tea. Similarly, reading a good book can purify and elevate the reader's
soul, dispelling feelings of sadness and despair. Through reading, one can
enter the world of a book and explore its pages.
Many people have heard of the book "The Da Vinci Code," which has an
exciting and gripping plot. Whenever I returned home from completing my
homework, I would lie in bed and open the book, which had my favorite
bookmark - a golden seashell. Reading just a few pages would make the day's
academic pressure evaporate, as if I were on an adventure with the
protagonist, Robert Langdon. I could not help but admire the talent of the
author, Dan Brown, for his precise language and wise insights, as well as
the thrilling and varied plot, which also delved into professional fields
such as cryptography, religion, culture, and art. These elements fascinated
all readers. The vivid imagery of the story made me feel as if I were in
Paris, which was one of the reasons why I admired the author.
Analyzing a book is like savoring a cup of tea - only by savoring it slowly
can you understand its flavor. The worldwide readers' fascination with this
book undoubtedly has its reasons. As one of the readers, the Holy Grail was
my source of motivation to continue reading. The plot makes you want to keep
reading without stopping. Therefore, every time I had to guess the rest of
the story in my dreams, but I never guessed correctly.
Despite the thrilling and heart-pounding novels by Dan Brown, I prefer "The
Hunchback of Notre Dame" by Victor Hugo. Although it portrays a dark and
ignorant society, there is an unwavering love in the tragedy that can warm
our hearts. The main characters, Esmeralda and the hunchback, Quasimodo,
embody the true, good, and beautiful aspects of humanity, which can warm the
readers' hearts.
Reading and savoring are the same. Through reading, we can taste the world,
life, and soul. We can rediscover our true selves and never lose ourselves.
Reading can only elevate our souls and let us feel the warmth and coldness
of the world, never turning us into cold-blooded machines. |
