Reading Is The Way Up And Out And Into A Better Life For These Poor Children

In the passage “Why Literature Matters” by Dana Gioia, Gioia states that the decline of interest in reading in America is decreasing. She then claims that this lack of interest will hold negative effects on the future of our society. Gioia uses facts and evidence to support her claim.

Rabury’s prophecy about society and books today is correct that most people honestly don’t check out or buy a book and read it anymore. The world is so focused on social media including; facebook, twitter, and instagram that they don’t use their free time to read, but to tweet or update their status. Technology has gotten more interesting, and even when some people to read, they can find the book online.

Dana Gioia, author of the article "why Literature Matters", writes about the decline of reading in the U.S. and how it affects our society. The consequences of people not reading are expressed through his specific factual evidence and his prediction of what is going to happen if the American people continue to ignore this issue.

Some literacy issues are becoming more and more prevalent in recent times. In the day and age we live in; we have access to the newest data and notions regarding literacy in the current education

As the world continues to advance technologically, the demand and interest of books will continue to decline. If we aren’t careful we could end up like the society in Fahrenheit 451 where books are banned. In Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury’s central argument is that the tv and radio and other technologies will make the general populous forget about books in order to get a more immediate high. This in turn will turn the people into empty shells without emotions or any complex thought.

Around the 16th century many people started to question the Roman Catholic Church. One of the problems some people had was that if they wanted to read the Bible they had to go to the Church, and even then the Bible was locked up in chains so that it couldn’t be taken. Not only was there only one Bible but it was also in only one language which in turn didn’t help many people because they couldn’t read or it wasn’t in their native language.

Declines in reading is growing larger and larger as time goes on. The author showed this by using a survey that was taken in 2002. It stated “declines have been most severe among younger adults… ages 18-24”. If the younger adults arent intrested in reading, then they won’t push that love onto their children one day. This then starts a trend of literature rates droping fast.

In the book, Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury mentions a lot about TV replacing books. Ray’s predictions were correct about technology taking over books. Most people read online now on their kindles, iPads, iPhones, laptops, or a device that connects to the internet. Even at our school we use audio books. Mr. Bradbury was right to fear the replacement of books with technology. More and more kids are finding less interest in reading. With the growth of technology, kids are finding this more important and procrastinate on assignment, such as reading. There is pros and cons to technology and the replacement of books is most likely the worst. Reading is not appropriately valued in today's society anymore. People do not care to read anymore they

It is possible that we will arrive at a future where no one will want to read books, but it would only be achieved by putting in

The Bible is one of the greatest piece of literature. It is composed of 66 individual books, however it has no official author. The bible was written by different authors within the time frame of 1500 years. The individual books were gradually collected into one. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary literature is a piece of written work that is considered to be very good and to have lasting importance. The bible has poems, proses, and narratives. It also has a metaphorical way and inability of tracing the reading. It is a subject of more art and theory for those who live within its influence, will ever know.

Adoniou’s reading “Improving kids’ literacy - a little knowledge can go a long way” is about informing teachers on how to accurately demonstrate the parts of learning and developing all the right reading and writing skills to be intellectual and socially capable, as language is used to communicate.

The Bible is a history Book, there is no denying that at all. It records the history of man from the time of Creation in Genesis to the time of their future eternal destination in Revelation. Man has no other book as the Bible, for what greater work is there than that of God’s own? Throughout the ages, God has shown His providence in allowing the original autographs to be undiscovered, or simply destroyed. However, God promises in His word, such as in Isaiah 40:8, that “…the word of our God shall stand for ever.” Just because the original autographs of the Bible are no longer available, that does not mean that the Christian community is lost without Biblical documents whatsoever. There are many ancient manuscripts that have been found in various
