                                                        Why Non-Fiction books are good for you

    Many people think that non-fiction books are uninteresting, but non-fiction books are actually pretty interesting and you just have to find the right book.  For me, that book was My Life in Dog Years which I reviewed last time. I feel that non-fiction books are good for you and the two main reasons are that they offer information about the world and that they also give you exposure to real-life stories. 

    The first reason why I think that nonfiction books are good for you is because they give you a lot of information. Books such as National Geographic give you information about different stuff such as volcanoes and nature in general. There are also other types of books such as history books which let you learn more about history. I remember when I was young, I would always read Who Was Books so I could learn more about people and history.

The second reason why I think that nonfiction books are good for you is because they give you exposure to real-life stories. For example, in My Life in Dog Years, he talks about losing one of his dogs and how he dealt with it. This is a real-life scenario and nonfiction books can expose you to that so that you understand the real world better

Overall, I think that non-fiction books are good for you because they can provide you with more knowledge and can help you with real-life scenarios. I didn’t like non-fiction books at first, but after reading some I have started to enjoy non-fiction books. I think that if you give nonfiction books a try, you will also soon fall in love with them too.

    Hey Krish. I totally agree with what you are saying here. Up till 5th grade, I never read any nonfiction books and always read fantasy of sci-fi. But now, I read more of nonfiction than fiction. As you mention, I think getting information is important and gives you some interesting knowledge. For example, I've been reading books on photography and history (not just because of world history class) and the information has made me want to learn more about it. I also agree with your second reason of exposure to life stories. Although fiction novels can present that, I feel like non-fiction hits harder and stays with me more than reading about a non-existent character.
    Overall I think you have a good argument on why nonfiction books are good, and you have written a good blog this week as well.

    Hi Krish! I used to read a lot of non-fiction books when I was a kid, but now I tend to only read fiction. I might check out some more non-fiction books.

    Hi Krish, you make some really good points here, and for me, when I was I child I only read fiction books. I think the reason so many children like fiction is because it lets them be so much more imaginative, rather than being stuck the the confines of the pages. Now that I've grown up a little, I definitely understand the usefulness of non-fiction books. Great Blog krish!

    I used to never read non-fiction or even historical fiction books because I though they had little to no worth and were all boring, bland books that focused to much on history rather than telling an enjoyable story. Boy was I wrong. I read the 𝘐 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 books and loved them. From there I started to read more non-fiction and found the worth in these kinds of books. Great job on talking about the importance of non-fiction books!

    I totally agree with you krish! Usually fiction books are much more entertaining, and keep you hooked for longer, however a good non fiction book does the same. I remember, I used to go through the weird but tree book series non stop in my elementary days, it was my favorite example of a non fiction book.

    I totally agree with this review as non-fiction books help to educate students and also teach more about ethical things as well as what they would do in that scenario. Good blog Krish!

Robenas Tadesse's Top 3 Recommended Books to Read Over the Summer

Summer is filled with nostalgic and never-forgettable memories that you cherish throughout the school year. Although it feels slightly early, allow me to guide you through my top picks for books you should read over the summer, in order from least recommended to most recommended. Enjoy while our last bittersweet moments of the school year fade away… Dune by Frank Herbert I am sure that many of you have seen or heard of the two Dune movies (featuring Zendaya, Oscar Isaac, and Timothée Chalamet). Well, the movies were developed from a book. I can’t say too much about the book because I am only 200 out of 700 pages in but Dune by Frank Herbert is a science fiction novel published in 1965 and is actually the first book of a six-book series. The book mostly takes place on a planet called Arrakis (A.K.A. Dune). Arrakis is a desert planet covered in sand dunes. Pretty much no one can live in Arrakis’ harsh conditions except for the Fermen, a group of resourceful and resilient people who hav...

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief: Book and Show

  Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief  By Krishna Jaswal I’m sure many of you have heard about the book Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. Many kids read it in elementary or middle school. For me personally, Percy Jackson was my childhood. I remember being introduced to the book right before COVID hit and I read all the books throughout the pandemic. I’m sure some of you have also heard about the new Percy Jackson series on Disney+. In this blog, I will dive a little deeper into both the book and the show as well as the differences between them! Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is the first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series . The book is set in the United States (they go on an adventure so the city or state does change often) and involves lots of Greek mythology. The book starts with Percy, a 12-year-old boy who starts to learn more about himself. Percy finds out that his father is Poseidon, one of the big gods of Greek mythology. To make things e...

Scythe - Krishna Jaswal

Image
Without the threat of suffering, we can’t experience true joy.      In the year 2042, humans have become immortal by discovering the ability to revive and heal people and the government is replaced with the Thunderhead. The Thunderhead is an artificial intelligence “cloud” that possesses some compassion and sympathy for humans but also rules over the world solving global problems like climate change, diseases, crime, etc. Due to humans becoming immortal, a new organization, Scythedom, rises to control the deaths of humans. Scythes glean (kill) people at random; they have to meet a certain number of gleanings per year to keep their position and follow many other rules. Scythes are also immortal and aren’t supposed to be killed by their fellow scythes. They keep their youth by “turning the corner” when they reach a certain age which means changing their appearance to look younger.  One day Scythe Faraday shows up at 17-year-old Citra Terranova’s house and invites h...
