Dictionary
I surprised myself in college when I figured out that not only did I love reading and literature, I was interested in language. What’s the difference? I guess the study of language deals with the technical aspects of what makes up literature. I find those technical aspects fascinating, and I’ll admit it right here: I really do find diagramming sentences, yes, fun. In retrospect, I shouldn’t have been surprised. In elementary I always liked the language part the best.

There are a lot of ways to define the power of a word, whether technical or poetical, or both. Words are powerful. Look one up, just for fun. You’ll learn something, or make a connection you hadn’t thought of before. In this perilous world, I am tempted to keep a dictionary by my side at all times, just in case.
I liked this one. It reminds me of Noah. He loves to read, infact it is an issue at school. If there is not a book or a textbook around, he will read a Dictionary!
