Have you ever read a book and felt you connected with a character in it? Or found a book where a character is a lot like you? Describe your experience and whether or not you think it is important to make a personal connection to literature.

I have not read a book that I can relate to or that the characters are a like. However, I do think that making personal connections to the story is somewhat important. When we relate to the story, we can understand it much better, either if its through the setting, characters, or the story itself. We cant always relate the stories we read, but when we do, its best to make connections because that would give us a more expanded knowledge of the story.
