Reading multicultural literature is not merely for pleasure, it is also for knowledge and understanding. The knowledge and understanding gained by reading multicultural literature, if read open mindedly, has the potential to close the cultural gaps many people face and bring the world closer together. Determining what multicultural literature will be most beneficial to read to gain knowledge and understanding can be difficult and tedious. Most important is for the literature to be factual in regards to the culture. Reading about the author should tell the authors culture and from where and what time period he or she is from.

I think that this class can really help improve the way that we write. I am also hoping to make the best of this class and succeed productively. I hope to expand my techniques in writing. I also want to challenge myself to be a better person where my grammar is concerned.
