Literacy as social,

All this talk about what is literacy has open my eyes to the bigger picture. This picture is like a Dali painting. Just when you think you get it the clocks begin to melt and you cant tell what time it is. I know me being critical about the question What is literacy was a bit sarcastic but i just feel the language being used to persuade me into believing the authors theses is a bit esoteric. Beyond my in ability to retain all the information in these articles there are many sailiant points that i have derived. The first is that literacy is not a contour drawing where the viewer can easily surmise the form. Instead it is a convoluted web of agents and sponsors offering or inflicting their views on what literacy is or better yet what is it for and how should it be delineated.

whether we as a community see literacy as a means to an end or a means to become something greater the conversation of how literacy effects us on an individual level or a societal level will be never ending. We could argue all day long about how we should teach and what we should teach, but we can all agree that we need to teach.

There is a state of grace beyond the religious meaning of grace, there is power with literacy and there is a pragmatic necessity to the adaptation of such.  Grace to me is something i  endeavor yet hardly obtain, yet when it comes to acquiring knowledge and effectively offering it as part of me, it is a great gift to myself; virtue. When it comes to grace objectified by what others think of me i don’t really care; unless they find me graceful. Literacy is power; especially when you try and persuade someone to believe your argument. Without challenging oneself to obtain higher degrees of literacy,  the lower the chance of having intellectual conversation that can tend to your state of grace. Literacy as adaptation is pragmatic and a necessity to let’s say buying healthy food. So if there is a basic starting point to what literacy is or what is it for it should at least be for texting your Gr8 db8. So we as future teachers should use all mediums to inspire kids to read and write.
