One important thing that made me a writer/reader I am today - 4 Minutes

When I started reading during quarantine and my perspective of reading changed from
disliking and dreading it to loving it and reading for pleasure. When I told my friends I
completed a book, they were like “Why are you reading for fun?” and “Why would you read a
book when you can be on your phone and be on social media?” I need to look back and see
which specific book made me love reading. During the few months of staying inside, I believe I
have read more than ten books. Every morning or whenever I have time, I like to research
different genres of books that seem interesting to read. Three books are on the way right now that
I have boughten online. My family has noticed that I have started reading novels again they like
to call me an “old lady” because I sit on the couch during my free time and read for hours.

Working Thesis Statement:​ Since COVID-19 started and citizens were required to stay indoors, I
have discovered a new desire for reading for enjoyment.
