Living a Literary Life

Ever noticed how a book makes the characters come to life?

Ever noticed 

That when you open a book

The characters jump off the page

And come to life in front of you?

Look over there!

Percy Jackson is fighting the Gorgon

With Annabeth and Grover at his side

Riptide flashes in the sun

And the Gorgon's head comes off

They jump off the pages of the book

Look again!

Katniss Everdeen is hunting in the woods

She strives to feed her family

But it isn't food she hunts

It's called the Hunger Games for a reason

She disappears back into the book

Look now!

Harry Potter and Voldemort fight to the death

The prophecy says that one must die

Ron and Hermione watch, horrified

But Harry emerges victorious

And he heads to the next page

Everywhere you look

The characters emerge

Brought to life, not on a screen

But in your mind
