You had library today. What does the above quote mean to you? Use your own words to explain it. Are you living more than one life right now? Explain.
You presented your speeches in larger groups today. Most people seem to have memorized most of their speech, and everybody seemed quite relaxed. That's good to hear! Remember, grade 6s have their presentations tomorrow. Everybody should be going over and over their speech tonight! Leave a comment:

Hi! I think this quote means that ,you can live many lives by reading. I think it means this ,because there are many adventure, mystery, humor,etc. and if that book is really good then you can actually feel like you are in that book ,and going through what the characters are going through ,and I guess I am kind of living more than one life.

I think it means that when you are reading a book, it's like you're a part of the story. It seems like you are right there beside the characters, and it feels like you are living another life in the story. I am living more than one life because I am living a life in each of my books that I have read. I am living in a lot of different times and places because I love reading. All of my books are different and I have probably lived over 1000 lives myself.

I think the quote means that by reading you can live and enjoy many lives. I think this because if the book that you are reading is effective and good you actually feel like you are a part of the book, and you expierence what characters are going through. I think more that I am living more than one life because I am reading more and more each day.

When I read a book, I am not the person I am now. I can be someone I'm not, which can be so much better! I can be good at athletic things, be super smart, or be a really interesting person. The problem is their lives are so much better, and when I look up from book, everything is so very dull and mundane, ugh it's disgusting! RETURN ME TO THE FICTIONAL WORLD! I try to make things interesting but I there's nothing to work with! There are no demons, or magic, or rebellions to lead! What is this world? I want to go to Hogwarts, or Camp Half-Blood, or Oz, or Narnia, or anything! The last chance I have is either a futuristic world, a dystopian future, aliens, and last chance which is highly unlikely, is a way into a magical world that I can travel to e.g. Oz or Narnia. Anyway we can do so many amazing things in books that are impossible to do today e.g. magic. Currently, I am living in these lives (the books I'm reading) Magonia and Seraphina.

It means to me that every time he reads he lives another life. People who don't read don't discover new worlds and don't find out new things. People who read all the time can figure out new things and discover new worlds. You can escape your on life when you read a story. When you read you can experience different aspects in life. When you read you are apart of the story like I am reading about Jane Goodall and it is like I am living with the chimps myself. See you all tomorrow bye!

Hi! I think this quote means, when you read a book you can travel to many places in that book so its like living another life. Lets say you're reading a book that describes a setting very well, you picture it in your mind and you have a character and you might sometimes picture that character that is you from a different place or a family. Maybe your picturing your self going on an adventure that you think you would never go on. Its kind of like living a different life. So, if you read a lot of books you will live in a different era, place, maybe you're living on mars. Those are all different stories that you can picture your self in. It's just like living another life! Well, i'll see y'all tomorrow! Bye for now...

I think this means that when you are reading you are either living another persons life or following it. This means that you are living there live so it counts as one of your own. Where it says "the man who never reads only lives one" I think that means he/she is only following there life and not reading and living someone else's life for a few days. Right now I only living mine but I have lived others in the past, I have read some great novels and painted a picture in my head to think that I am living their life. I did not go to the library today because I was working on the poster but I hope I can find a good book in the class somewhere. I have started to memorize my speech and I hope I can memorize it all for tomorrow. See you all then. B-)

Hi. I think the quote is you can live your life but when you read a book it's like your really in the book! It's like when you read it your doing what it says or you picture it in your head! I'm reading are you there god it's me Margret I can picture the whole thing in my head. When you read a book you think what would I do in that situation?or I would've done something else!

To me the quote means you have to explore in the lives and adventures of literacy I would say anyone who reads more than one book a month is living in many different adventures so yes I am to!

I think the quote means if you read a book you feel like your in the story. Your there in the book. You have done the unpossible. You have lived and experienced life. If you don't take the time to read you are lost in a story without words. You are living a life without a story.

I think the quote means a lesson that when you read a lot you live longer. When you never read you don't live as many lives. Maybe it means every time you read you live another lifer so when you don't read its karma because you don't live as long. I think I am living more than one life.

I think the quote means that every story that you read you live. YOU are the main character that is going around with the other main characters. You picture what you see like your living the moment. That is what that deep meaningful quote means.

I think that the quote means that, when reading a novel your imagination can take flight and actually feel like you are in the characters spot and go through the things they go through and live in their world, sometimes almost like its your own. When reading a good novel you can almost feel like you are right there in the story, a part of their world. You can feel like you are actually there in the middle of the jungle or climbing a mountain perhaps. I think that reading can expand your imagination. Like " strawbunny101" said in her comment, "when reading, you can be someone your not, and do things you cannot do in this world." I just finished one of the books I was reading a couple days ago and I started a different book today from the series! I was living another life, but I started a new life today, because I started reading another book.

I think this quote means that we can read a lot of book every day. So we can lives in reading, because in the world have a lot of different types book adventure, fantasy, biography, mystery, humor ... And one day 3500000000 people read book. So I think this mean is we can lives in reading a book.

I think that the quote is trying to teach us something to read paper book not some ebook thing. Not a lot of people read paper book well let's just say 5% of the people on the earth read paper that leaves us with 95% of people who just do not read books or the read book on the phones iPad or even computers laptops now stop what you are doing and get a paper book. If you read a lot on your phone in the dark before you go to bed then you eye sight will get worse and worse. But your eye won't get worse from reading a paper book.

I think it means, when you read a book, you sort of think about what you'd do in there situation. You sort of live there life becuase you are in some cases hearing it first hand from the perspective.

The quote makes me ant to read in hopes that I live that long. It also gives me the feel of fantasy as I read it, because of the background. I think who ever made this quote is a brilliant man. I am living more than one life now because there is a side of me that feels like I am reading the quote because I was told to, But the other side is reading it for enjoyment. I am also living more than one life because I am reading a lot of books, that is why I am delaying my book talk, but don't worry I am going to start it soon. See you all today!.

That quote means to me that if your a reader then you sort of have a life or can live for along time because you probably read about how to live. If you don't read then you don't have the education on how to live. I am not because I love to read and i read books that I really like, the genre I like is humorous and realistic fiction. Books are the key to live and I wan't to live so I read books on genres about humorous, realistic fiction and fantasy.

I think it means every book that we read and the characters life style in the book we live! Like if your reading a book and the characters parents get divorced or something or reading along to how the character survives, so your basically living their life and how they would survive and you could survive.
