· Who gets to decide what good writing is? Who should decide? Why?
I believe that good writing should be decided by anyone who reads not the people who are paid for reading books. This is because one or two judgments on a book could be completely wrong and having everyone vote and decide which books have good writing. This is a more fair and less judgmental process for the author and there book. So I say put it to a vote and let all the readers decide which has the best. Then after the votes are cast the top book will be shown on this year’s top list as number one. Just like they are now except everyone will have voted instead of just a couple of people. The reasons for it to be done this way are because it is first fair. Everyone could vote and that’s the beauty of it it’s perfect no arguing and no single decisions. Second it has more than just two people voting on the book and not a single individual or group.
· Why should we want kids to read books anyway?
We should want kids to read because I believe it is important to first know how to read. Reading is an essential tool in everyday life and is one of the most important things to know besides how to talk. It also can be fun and enjoyable if you are reading the right book and enjoy books. Also reading books helps you learn about things. You can learn about history from books even if they are fiction they can still be accurate. Also you can learn new words and definitions to words.
I'm sorry but how can fiction books be accurate? Fiction by defintion is not not suppose to be true.
ReplyDeleteI agree that we should want our kids to read because it DOES make them smarter and it could be fun for them.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is important for kids to read because it does greatly help in life and teach you alot more than most people realize.
ReplyDeleteIt is important for kids to read. But i do think more than two people have decided that The Great Gatsby is a classic and needs to be read. :P
