A Book is a loaded Gun (Esperanza)

Captain Beatty says, “A book is a loaded gun in the house next door...Who knows who might be the target of the well-read man?” He is giving the books power over man because once a human gets the “itch” that would be the other target for the books. They thought it would be easier because they didn’t want to take there time to teach every single human being in the world a lesson. No I don’t see this happening to our world because everyone, no matter who you are need education to start their life later on and teaching everyone the skills they need to succeed. Another reason why I don’t see our world like that is because reading is good for your brain; it’s actually a proven fact. They say that when you read, you learn. You're actually exercising your brain, because reading makes you think. Reading is good for your brain, increasing blood flow and bathing your brain in nutrients, oxygen, and others things believed to promote higher cognitive-emotional processing. Reading, also, causes your brain to work harder, which builds stronger brain cell connections. So, reading is good for everyone and I wouldn’t want people to change that for the future of our kids and adults.
