Big Question Overview and ResourcesOverview Reading can open your mind to new possibilities. When you read, you can imagine places that you've never been before. You can go on an adventure or solve a mystery without even leaving your room. Reading can entertain you or teach you something new. Reading about other people's lives can teach you about new places, customs, and traditions. When a person writes about his or her own life, it is called an autobiography. When a person writes about someone else's life, it is called a biography. When you read a biography or an autobiography, consider how you would respond to the situations in the book. Try to relate to the characters in the book, and think about how the setting of the story is similar to and/or different from the place where you live. Web Resources Need a good book?
