Reading and writing??No NO no..?

Being able to read and write today is something that needed to get through a lot of careers and when doing things. Reading is something we do every day whether we realize it or not. Being literate allows you to have so much more of a variety of opportunities and careers. Reading and writing is a thing that most jobs require you to have and it may be hard to do some things when you are not literate. I can’t imagine how my life would be if I did not know how to read or write because most of my day is spent either reading or writing in school. Some challenges the protagonist from the piece faced because he wasn’t literate was that he had a hard time finding where some people lived because he could not read the address and had to ask people around him where this address was or where that address was. He had to try to keep this job because it was one of the jobs that he could actually pull through without needing the ability to read and write. He found it hard at times because when he had to find an address he had to ask people about where it was and he even got lost one time because he could not read the sign for where he was going to and went a different way. Reading and writing is something adults and children today should have to ability to do because in the world it is hard to do things without this ability.
