Now, at times, I wonder where I would be if I had not had literacy. For example, I probably wouldn't have the imagination or interests I do today. I might have taken famous paintings for granted or the architectural buildings we see today could have been a bore to me. Because of the books I have taken interest in, I have learned to appreciate these things. Life would have a completely different meaning without literacy.
Literacy gives people the option of choosing what genre they enjoy.
Whether it is adventure, fiction, fantasy or even non-fiction it gives a whole new perspective to life. Maybe it could help us to appreciate certain things we have, and we should always keep it a part of our life. Whether we are very young, or getting up in years, we can still find the time to enjoy a book.
