MY FIRST LITERARY EXPERIENCE

Oh man do I detest actual novels. Don't get me wrong, books are alright, but without those explicitive and imaginative drawings I usually lose intrest. I don't know if this has to do with my upbringing, since I usually read picture books as a kid and novels were really a "once in a while" thing. This is probably attributed to my first literary experience, since I always thought as a kid (and still do) tha pictures make the book way better.
Alright, so my first literary experience was reading How the Grinch Stole Christmas with my father in the midst of November. We had recently watched the infamous cartoon adaptation, and it just so happened my dad had a copy of the source material, so naturally, we read it. Grinch probably isn't the absolute FIRST book I ever read, but it's the most prominent "literary experience" I can remember from when I was just starting to read. The many illustrations and rhymes followed by my father and I's respective reactions are still a clear image. It was the first time I had ever really understood the concept of an antagonist, granted I didn't know what antagonist meant at four years old, but initially the grinch is a "bad guy." Likeiwse, this was my first exposure to the bad guy becoming a good guy in the end. Plus, this was my first exposure to a story depicted through both pictures and text, which relates to who I am today since I make stupid comics and cartoons all the time.
Grinch doesn't really have much to do with my literacy today, I still very much prefer the cartoon over the book, but it was the first notable experience with literature I ever had. Being told a story through text and pictures and grasping different literary concepts, such as the antagonist, makes Grinch my first standout literary experience.  Dr. Seuss as a whole still holds up today too, Oh The Places You'll Go is a book I think every living human should read in high school at least once. Ok, bye!
