I see pictures in my mind of......

It is hard to think of what life was like back in the era of the depression. By looking at these pictures, at this site that we went to, i got a better idea of how to picture the charactures and scenes in the book. I always picture the people in books whyle i read and i picture their actions and things that they do. Like when Jem ran up and slapped the Radley house because of a dare, i can see a young , skinnny boy scrembling up to an old, rusty, moldy house that creaked and shivvered in the breeze. I see him slapping the house and making a mad dash to get back across the street. Does anyone elce see things so elaboratly? or is it just me?

I see pictures in my mind, only my mind translate what I'm reading literraly. For instance, if a book says there was love pouring out from her, I picture a girl standing in pitch black, (but her aluminated) with color seeping out from her. I sometimes picture exactly what the book is sayibng, but usually I translate literally in terms of picturing things.
