Rabid Thinking

Similes

Rate this Entry
While growing up I had always had trouble with reading, teachers never understood why, it wasn't that my comprehension level was low but that I could not spell, understand even the slightest law of grammar and read anything more then picture books.

I was Twelve before I learnt how to read effectively, and it was of a complete accident. I was walking through a book store and I saw a book called the "World of Similes" which I read as the "World of Smiles."

As I read through the book I loved the concept that smiles centred around the idea that one should "like" something. As I worked through that book, my understanding of reading grew immensely, at the end of it, I was on to reading novels, and here I am today, still having trouble with grammar and spelling, but my reading and essay writing lead me to a place I had always wished to be. And I still have the book "World of Similes," though I have never thought of it as a book, but like a turning point or a readjustment.

Anyways thats just my thoughts on similes, and I suppose smiles.
