Welty said, “Neither of my parents had come from homes that could afford to buy many books, but though it must have been something of a strain on his salary, as the youngest officer in a young insurance company, my father was all the while carefully selecting and ordering away for what he and Mother though we children should grow up with.”(Welty, 391) I remember my father giving me his old Hardy Boys books when I was about eight years old. His words are still in my head,“These were my favorite books as a kid and I want you to enjoy them as I did when I was seven. These books kept me out of trouble,” he laughed. At first I was not really into the Hardy Boys, but since my father loved them I wanted to enjoy them like he did. “My father loved books, and since I loved my father with an aching devotion, I decided to love books as well.”(Alexie, 397) Parents want their children to succeed in life and they know without literacy the world would be a tough place.
You can accomplish anything you set your mind on doing. “I not only wasn’t articulate, I wasn’t even functional” (715). Malcolm X learned this valuable lesson while in prison; when he first went to prison he could barely read or write. He wanted to be able to communicate articulately and to be able to read, so he taught himself. He used the dictionary and over the time he was in prison he copied the entire thing into tablets and then read it out loud to himself when he had finished he realized he had remembered a lot of it.
Reading was his only escape from the world around him. There wasn’t access to television, and a proper education was for the rich and the lucky few. In modern day society, so much has changed. Writers, unlike in McCourt’s generation, are no longer heroes. The media has taken over so much of our life that the average teenager no longer sees reading as a daily obligation but more of an option along with surfing the Internet or watching TV.
Dear Diary, I have noticed that my husband has been acting rather peculiar recently. He sits in his study for hours writing in his books, apart from the night time when he joins me in his great ancestral bed. He told me today that he will be leaving in a few days to do some business overseas. I feel quite privileged that he has entrusted me with the keys to his estate, I have never held such responsibility before. Dear Diary, My husband has just departed for his business trip and I am now temporarily in charge.
Nikola Tesla is not a well-known inventor because he, wasn’t focused on getting recognition, Thomas Edison pushed Nikola’s inventions out of the lime light., his inventions weren’t profitable or practical for the time and he also suffered from mental disorders. Nikola Tesla spent more hours in his lab alone than he did getting funding for his laboratory. As Margaret Cheney states in on of her novels about Nikola Tesla, Master of lightning, he threw parties at his house but he would often leave mid-celebration to sneak into the laboratory(126). This reclusive behavior was tied to Tesla’s incessant drive to invent and create. In another one of Margaret Cheney’s novels, Man out of Time, She explains that his schedule often gave the impression that there was more than one of him.
I find this very odd, very odd indeed that I have never met this person to which he speaks, but I do not second guess my masters commands. After this peculiar incident I began to notice something change in my good sir. He would go for days and never meet me at the front door to let him out. This irregularity began to progress more and more. One evening while at home after observing that the laboratory and my masters quarters were empty I stayed awake waiting for him.
And not the other teachers? Still a bit hard to read, but it gets easier, when you learn how Holden speaks 3 He thinks about what a mess he is, because his lying to Spencer.

He goes back to his room, takes a hat on and are about to read a book.
In a time of fear, few have had the courage to overcome it. During the Cold War, many Americans lived day by day living in the shadows of threats of atomic warfare. William Faulkner provided them with an escape in his fiction novels, novellas, and short stories such as The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, Sanctuary, These Thirteen, and Light in August. When accepting the Nobel Prize, Faulkner spoke about how the new generations of writers and poets have become immune to fear’s effects, and as a result are not writing for the soul, but rather writing from their minds. He claims that the best writing is writing that not only amuses the reader, but impacts them as well; and in order to do that, a writer must be in touch with their emotions.
To protect those who were not aware of certain laws and regulations. While married, Bentham wrote many thousands of pages but his biggest ordeals were before finishing one work, he would start another one; and many were left unfinished, and those he did finish he often did not bother to publish. His work was made known to the world only through the French translations of his Swiss follower, Etienne Dumont. His work did not go unnoticed since that of his many followers. As he was more interested in the theory of law, Bentham published A Fragment on Government (1776), an acute
