My opinion, movies are superior. One might argue that books train your brain, but then again, subtitles will most likely train it too, and maybe make you read faster in some cases. You can also read things that give you good information, like a chemistry book, or a physics book, because there everything has to be correct and they’ll mostly use large/big words which can increase your vocabulary, improve your reading skills and make you smarter. But novels/books are a fun alternative too, it’s just that I’d rather read something that makes me smarter while also improving my ability to read. in a book, it is a hassle to describe things and details. “The worn, dark gray closet littered with holes and cobwebs slowly opened with a creaking noise, and inside it emerges a dark, black, wrinkly hand that looks centuries old with enlarged veins. Blood-stained all that are as sharp as a knife, dark, black, wrinkly skin as hard as a rock” of course there are better examples than this but this is just one of them. A sentence in a book that describes something may have a lot of words, but it can still be portrayed in a second or two in the movie. Also, the movie has visuals, unlike the book which might have to, like we said, describe something in a lot of words just so we can imagine what it mostly looked like. What can be read in days can be seen in hours. Take the book “to kill a mockingbird”, while it doesn’t have an official movie, it has an adaptation. It has 100,388 words. The average reader reads to kill a mocking bird for about 6 hours and 24 minutes at a speed of 250 WPM (can’t confirm nor deny if this source is credible, it’s just the first thing I got in google). 6 hours is 360 minutes. 360+24=384. 384×250=96000 which is still not enough to finish the book. While the movie is only about 2 and a half hours long. A movie is also more adrenaline-pumping. Take a scene from a movie where the character flights someone, now read the book version. The book version isn’t thrilling like the movie, when they are the same scene.
New Year’s Eve topic
Imagine one day in 2021 keeps repeating itself… Which day in 2021 would you choose to relive over and over again? Why?” In my opinion, there is no “good” answer to this question, any day you experience over and over again will only lead you to be less and less amused by it. This is assuming that you know you are in a time loop and that you will be stuck in a loop in which you will redo the actions you once did in 2021. If this is wrong, and that you can do anything and you won’t redo the actions you once did on the day, then here is my answer: I choose August 2. It’s not an eventful day, but its summer break, so no school, and you can do anything you want because it’ll be forgotten the very next day, which will be august 2nd. You can go out with your friends, play games, do anything really, and try to get most of the excitement and fun out of the day. It will just be your childhood all over again. Wake up, play games, eat, sleep, and assuming that you keep the memories from all the past time loops, you can do a lot of things. Like memorize what websites give viruses and which do not, which offer the best deals and which don’t, and a lot of other things, but of course you can’t save the game(as in save all the past things you did) so you’ll start from square one over and over again. Personally, Think it would be better that when the day repeats you can choose a single object you changed to stay the same before the “next’ day arrives Of course there is much more than games to life, so you can also go outside, hang out, and do other outdoor things.
