Make a metaphor based on your thoughts on reading.
Reading is a task that sucks the joy from life. A book is a locked box with no key. Reading is a maze where every turn looks the same. A chapter is a long, dry desert you have to walk through. Books are heavy backpacks filled with words instead of bricks. Reading is a passport that never expires. A book is a doorway to a thousand different worlds. Stories are mirrors that show us our truest selves. Reading is a warm fire on a cold night. Books are treasure maps, and every chapter is an X marking gold.
