A recent study reveals that people especially young people are reading far less literature—novels, plays, and poems—than they used to. This is troubling because the trend has unfortunate effects for the reading public, for culture in general, and for the future of literature itself.
The reading passage claims that studying far less literature such as novel, poems, and plays can have an adverse effect on young people and provides three reasons for support. However, the lecturer finds all the ideas mentioned by reading uncertain and presents some evidence to refute each of them.
Firstly, the author argues that reading literature provides more benefits and intellectual motivation than others do. Therefore, the decline in literature reading can cause unrecoverable damage to the reading public. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that this reason is highly questionable due to the fact that there are other different kinds of books having political writing, science, and history which have a high quality of creativity and imagination. Hence, it should not be presumed that a literature book is a good book.
Additionally, the article holds the view that spending less time on reading literature can decrease the level of culture in a country, and reading other sources instead of literature cause irreparable problems. On the contrary, the professor underlies the fact that there are plenty of cultural material that is not written by literature writers. In fact, there are plenty of culturally good forms rather than literature.
Finally, the passage asserts that today there are many adept writers who can write impressive literature. However, because of lacking the literature reader, the writing of good literature is likely to decline. In contrast, the speaker dismisses this issue due to the fact that there are a lot of author’s faults in the literature that are so difficult to be understood by readers. Hence, there will be a great deal of declining allocated to reading literature.
