I have always considered myself a solid writer, and have earned corresponding grades that reflected, while somewhat bolstering, my assumptions.

ages, poets and writers have been a part of social and political change due to the written works presented to the public. One such poet was William Blake. His poetry has inspired much change in both the past and the present.

I will be discussing the histories of literacy and how reading and writing came about as well as the significance of literacy in the South African public sphere. Letter writing played a central role in contributing to the world of literacy which led to the era of newspapers which will be discussed. Schooling played a major role in reading and writing as it contributed hugely
