Imagine a world without words: no reading, no writing, no communication. It is difficult to imagine such a place existing. Surely in this day and age when technology is advancing at a rapid pace and knowledge is the key for success, such a "communication-less world" has been eliminated. Yet for some people, this imaginary world without words is still a reality. A world of darkness and suffocating ignorance presses in around them leaving few and narrow possibilities for survival in a success-driven society. How do adults and teens end up in circumstances such as these? They simply slipped through the gaps of the American education system, the largest of which is the absence of emphasis on literature.The value of great literature extends far beyond simply reading printed words on a page. Of course the primary focus of reading books, especially at an early age, is to learn how to read. However
Specifically, the study of literature has been invaluable in school and in everyday life. Some can literally not even write a sentence. Great works of literature contain much more than words. Throughout the majority of the twelve years spent in school, my personal education was based primarily on literature. ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**. Overall, a strong emphasis on literature produces a well-rounded individual. It is amazing how many high school students can not write a paper. It is amazing how much easier it is to succeed having this knowledge gained through much reading. Either teachers do not assign students to read excellent literature, or students find one of the many loopholes to escape actually reading anything. There is absolutely no reason why any student in high school should not possess the ability to write a cohesive sentence and even an intelligent paper. It is almost impossible to be a well-read individual and not be able to write well also. , as students learn these basic, everyday skills, the possibilities become endless. It has been of great assistance in writing all of the many compositions required, and also in recalling specific aspects of history, science, cultures, and more. All of the difficulties students are experiencing in high school with reading and writing could be avoided if the right steps are taken.
