[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m shocked anyone thinks reading articles in even a high quality newspaper provides the same linguistic challenge as a high quality piece of literature. I guarantee you every single reporter at those newspapers would tell you the same thing about the content they produce.[/quote] I'm shocked that people are framing the discussion as reading novels vs. reading news articles. Ideally, people will do both. And if they don't do both, I'd prefer for them to read news articles than novels. And I say this a devoted reader of novels. I enjoyed reading Moby Dick, but Moby Dick is not very useful as a basis for informed voting.[/quote] I agree people should be doing both, but a good English teacher will use classic literature to help the students better understand the world around them. [b]Moby Dick would actually be a great basis for a lesson about today’s world[/b].[/quote] How? Why?[/quote]
