Thesis statement of Why Lit
I wish to offer a few arguments against the idea of viewing it as one of the most primary and necessary undertakings of the mind, an irreplaceable activity for the formation of citizens in a modern and democratic society of free individuals
A society without lit jeopardize
Freedom

Llosa’s defense about Borges hated questuon
Litbis not created by chance or nature. They ate human creations
Llosa comparison to Aphasics
A person who does not read is a person with an impedimeht problem limited verbal- Aphasics
Bill gates statement on Why Lit
Books are anachrostic objects. Computers can replace books
Why does Llosa believe that Audiovisual materials can’t replace books
one that seeks neither information nor a useful and immediate communication, can integrate on a computer screen the dreams and the pleasures of words with the SAME SENSATION OF INTIMACY, the same MENTAL CONCENTRATION AND SELF ISOLATION that may be achieved by the act of reading a book.
What happens to a world without Lit
Without it, the critical mind, which is the real engine of historical change and the best protector of liberty, would suffer an irreparable loss.
Perception of lit
Lit is a dispensible activity

6.2 percent
I wish to offer a few arhuments about lit being

Specialization negative
Yet it also has negative consequences, for it eliminates those common intellectual and cultural traits that permit men and women to co-exist, to communicate, to feel a sense of solidarity.
The solipsism of nations and individuals produces
Paranoia and deluriam and will cause war and such
Contradictory turths
Isaiah Berlin
why is lit not be made science
fiction does not exist to investigate only a single ‘precinct of experience. It exists to enrich through the imagination the entirety of human life, which cannot be dismembered,
Proust’s observation
the only life that is lived is lit
Highest achievement
This feeling of membership in the collective human experience across time and space is the highest achievement of culture, and nothing contributes more to its renewal in every generation than literature.
Literary works are born
as shapeless ghosts
Literature does not begin to exist through the work of a single individual
It exists only when it is adopted by others and becomes a part of social life—when it becomes, thanks to reading, a shared experience.
one of first bene effects
level of language
A person who does not read, or reads little, or reads only trash, is a person with an impediment:
he can speak much but he will say little, because his vocabulary is deficient in the means for self-expression.
