I am now reading a book called the pearl and before the book gets into the story it has a little quote on the first page and it says "If this story is a parable, perhaps everyone takes his own meaning from it and reads his own life into it." I really like that quote because its like when your reading a book it can help you with your own life like putting your life into that book some books help me through things. But then others just give a meaning into it but you don't know how to imply that to your own life. It makes me wonder sometime when we read something and that book gives you advice how do you take in that advice? like if you were hurt how do you get rid of that big hole in your heart? I guess sometimes it just comes to you but you don't know when. If I ever did know when then would it make me feel any different?

I really like that quotation - I think that this is because we all read things in different ways, based on our different experiences and perspectives. I love "reading his own life into it" - like, just by reading, we also participate in creating it.
