I would love to be a friend of Mr. Samuel Johnson. I mean who wouldn’t want to be a friend of someone who lived in the past and of someone who was very famous in life. It is true that he was a bit out of his mind, but knowing someone who had the creativity and the determination to do a dictionary, and who wrote a lot would be awesome.
Personally, I believe that I love writers because they have such great imaginations, they are not just here in the world to live an ordinary life, but they end up living about 2 or 3 more lives through their characters and their writings, people do not understand the power of literature until they really learn to love it, or until they fine the right book for them; I believe that there are some books that will make you become a real fan of literature and it all depends on which book you choose. It is very important that people go and get their book, the one book that will make you fall in love with reading and writing.
It is not easy to be a writer and it is also not easy to get criticized for your work, some may think its awesome and others may think that your book is horrible or not good for any audience. I guess it all depends on timing, but the fact here is that i think that a man like Johnson would be a great friend because of the fact that he wrote and that definitely in my rank of opinion makes people cool, and awesome.
I love to read and get inside of other worlds and really experience first hand what other “people” go through in life. It is not all true or possible, but the fact that it is written and that it happened in a book and you were reading it, makes everything possible. I really believe that Samuel Johnson would be a great friend because he could get you inside of stories and you can talk about what he wrote later with him, reading the book is half of what literature is about, you also have to talk about it and express how you liked this work.
