In the stories we have read recently, reading has played a pivotal role in the author’s life. While reading helped Frederick Douglass escape slavery and Malcolm X become a Civil Rights leader, do you believe reading is as important for citizens today? Why or why not?

Answer: Reading is as in fact very important for citizens today.

Explanation: Studies have shown that a regular reading habit not only sharpens vocabulary and improves IQ but also reduces the brain's rate of decline in old age and expands “EQ”—emotional intelligence and well-being.
