Why Literacy Is Important

.Literacy is important because without it we wouldn't be able to read or write and that takes away a lot of privileges. If we couldn't read or write we wouldn't be able to read what food is made of and we could eat something that were allergic to. What i think about the paragraphs is that its amazing that the women and her family had nothing and then she came to Canada and she made something out of herself. The guy that sold drugs like his father did start out bad because he followed in his fathers footsteps and did something illegal. Afterwards he knew that he wanted to be there for his son/daughter unlike his dad. The girl with the alcoholic mother, made the right choice to go with her grandmother because she had to take responsibility for her siblings. Literacy is helpful, and people who don't know how to read or write should have help in learning because it can really help people with life
