Class warm up

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 do have some personal connections but I do not have any recent literature that I remember to connect, so I decided to connect to Lizabeth. She is somewhere near our age, so I think I could understand her anger and rage she shown. As a teen, it would of been hard to control our anger, and since I experienced that. I can get the story. I think it is not necessary to make personal conncetions, but it is helpful for you to read the story by heart, because if you feel more connected to the character, you will get use to the characters situation better.
