7. The End of Reading
I don’t think reading is ending.
I think the purpose of reading is to
promote individual liberty and to lead
us to participate in and preserve
democratic ideals.
8. The End of Reading
HOWEVER,
there are challenges to the reading.
And some come from the place where
reading, liberty, and democracy should
be promoted most successfully.
35. Our ordinary conceptual system, in terms of
which we both think and act, is
fundamentally metaphorical in nature.
George Lakoff and Mark Johnson
Metaphors We Live By
36. Metaphor is a linguistic equation; an
analogy that compares two unlike things
in order to better understand one or both
of those unlike things.
• “You broke my heart.”
• “I feel down today.”
• “She makes my heart sing.”
• “Call me when you feel up to going
out.”

67. the end of the teaching of reading

that come with living
in a democratic society

Notas do Editor
Hello, my name is Laurence Musgrove and I am a professor of English at Angelo State University where I teach composition, literature, and creative writing.
I’ve recently written a book called Handmade Thinking in which I share how I use drawing to help my students improve their reading habits.
I also give workshops to middle school, high school, and college teachers on how to use handmade thinking in their own classes. And some of these teachers have shared their students’ drawings with me.
