Whenever I’m bored‚ my initial thought about what I’m going to do is either to watch television or to read a book. Both are enjoyable‚ but I still prefer watching television over the other.

You could talk and joke around with your friends or families while you’re watching a show‚ but you’ll lose the passage that you paused reading if you start a conversation. I love extending

In Jonathan Kozol’s essay “The Human Cost of an Illiterate Society” Kozol relies on tugging on the reader’s heartstrings rather than presenting the statistics that would prove his point without a shadow of a doubt. In the end readers are left thinking “why should I care so much about the illiterate?” That being said‚ Kozol strikingly relates to the reader the many things that an illiterate person cannot do on a day to day basis.
