Reading is made complete through sharing. I normally share my reading with my closest friends. We would talk about the characters portrayed in the story. We would talk about what the characters went through and what we feel about that. We would try to visualize the situation as if we were the ones going through the situations which are like trying to walk in the character’s shoes.
Most of the time we would feel the anger, resentment or jubilance that the characters go through. When there are scenes that we couldn’t understand, my friends and I would try to sort the meaning out among ourselves.
The characters in the story seem very true to us most of the time. The same feelings that the characters go through would normally be evoked within us, the readers. Stories are usually built up from facts. Facts involve people and people have feelings and I believe that feelings can be universal.
I think, women, in general, love sharing what they have read. It helps them reflect and relate to the story. Sharing helps shape more insights regarding the issues portrayed in the stories. Most importantly, women like to imagine what if they were in the story and what would they do if ever they were in the same situation. It is some sort of practice if ever the same situation takes place in our lives. At least we are mentally prepared. Perhaps this is also the method we have used to acquire more wisdom in handling human issues either with students, our own children, families or colleagues.
