A World With No Books
Even though I may not read books as often as some people I believe the world would not function well without books. We do not only use books for leisure but we use them to learn. Without books how would we learn? Our education is based off of information that teachers get out of books. And it my seem irrational but how would we read and spell without books? We may learn the basics but without books we can not constantly learn and retain information. By having website such as Spark Notes we burn books everyday because we take away from the meaning of what reading is all about. You can easily learn the main facts about a book but not truly appreciate it.

100% agree. I think everybody has shared thoughts about books. We really don't appreciate them now, but we would miss them dearly if they were taken away from us!
ReplyDeleteThe spark notes thing is true, because I use that site instead of reading books sometimes lol.
ReplyDeletei made a couple of the same points, mainly about how spark notes is a way of "burning" the books
ReplyDeleteI agree. Everything we have learned (other than how to form our own opinions) is written down somewhere in a book; Biology, History, Mathmatics, etc. Without books how would we ever have learned this stuff!
ReplyDeleteYeah, how would teachers teach without books to refer to? I doubt any teacher learned everything they know from their teachers; all knowledge would have to be by word of mouth.
