Prompt 2

I, personally, do not find myself to be a re-reader often, but I will reread on two occasions. One, if it is a favorite of mine or two, if I didn't catch the idea of the text the author was trying to get across. I believe everyone will reread in one of these occasions, but that's my reasoning. Rereading is not only for those who don't understand the text. Rereading one of your favorite books or a book you remember from your childhood doesn't mean you never understood them, it means you get enjoyment from them. A thrill, if you will, from being caught in the moment of the text. That breathtaking scene in which the main character struggles to survive, or chases after the solution to who took the last cookie. I'm more related to the audience captivated by the latter, but aren't we all? I mean, who doesn't want a cookie? In my experience, rereading has brought a rush of excitement through me, either in the form of remembering how amazing a piece of literature was, or in the fact that I was able to understand and comprehend the author's point in his/her writing. Such as, Harry Potter, which I know is mainstream, but I still love the books, and The Count of Monte Cristo. The way JK Rowling and Alexandre Dumas can suck you into the story and create suspense and feeling through their characters' hardships is excellent, in my opinion. In all, no, I don't think rereading is just for people who didn't understand it there first read through. I think it's also for those who enjoyed what they read. For those that enjoyed being challenged or thrilled or terrified by what they were reading and wanted to feel that way again.
