• young adult fiction: 
• Chinese: reflection, 沉重? I think it somewhat right, but it really needs. Because in my opinion, whatever we read, we may have some thoughts. If we don't have any opinions, that means we read not enough. But if we have a little thoughts, we should value it, write it down, and even share it with others, that's all of my ideas about reading.
• Western: see the true aspect of human life. talking about truth
