"The world is a book, and those who do not travel, read only a page." St. Augustine.
I chose this quote because I think that it does a very good job of explaining the connection when you read a story. When you read a story it is like you get to travel to a different place. Sometimes this is to a foreign country far away, like China or Japan. Or even to a made-up imaginary land, like the magical world Harry Potter lives in. Either way you get to experience the culture of other lives, and you earn a better understanding of how people around the world live their lives. Like in Harry Potter you get to experience what it is like to live as a wizard. Or in the Bread Winner, you get to experience the horrible events that happen to women in Afghanistan
