Literacy and Cultural Context: A Lesson from Amish by Andrea Fisherman teaches us how some families do not encourage children to have the freedom to educate and have the ability to read and write properly. She describes how the two families are portrayed by the literate activities like reading bedtime stories to their kids, singing, etc. Children and adults, both, need to have the determination to read and write. No child should be penalized only because their parents could not get the education their children get now. Literacy is a form of expressing your feeling, your inner thoughts and it is all about building yourself to be a better person. |
