Block 1
Introduction
Reading and narration have always been a huge part of my life for as long as I
remember. I have been blessed and am grateful to be born in a family where almost everyone
is passionate about reading, and I think even before I learned to talk, I knew where to find my
mother and father at the end of the day. My mother, especially because she was a stay at
home mother used to read me at least twice a day, and before I knew it, the habit was
inculcated into me, and I could not go without reading even for a day after that. Being an avid
reader, my mother used to have a subscription to newspapers and magazines and several
journals as well. She read to me from every single of them. I used to wait for weekly
magazines and special issues in the newspaper during the weekend to see the comic column.
The inclination towards comics and surreal entities grew with my age, and I fell into science-
fiction and surreal literature. Apart from the assigned reading, I indulge in a lot of other
books, and following the customary habit of my house, my magazine subscription, along with
my comics add to the pile we have in our house now. I also grew up observing and listening
to my parents having enriched conversations about the different genres, and because of them,
I also fell into reading philosophical books. After this course, I can now better understand
why I shaped out the way I did. I have always been eager to sign up for more classes and
have been in the habit of reading all the suggestions prescribed by the professors. I have
noticed myself getting affected by a different phenomenon that others can easily let go, and it
led me to struggle with being normal among my peers. The research provided me with the
perspective which clarified my understanding of the ways one gets affected by the readings.
