The author of the reading believes that result of the decline in reading literature can affect the culture in general and the future of literature. However, the lecturer cast doubts about the claims made in the article and refutes all the theories presented in the reading passage.
First of all, the author of the reading points out that there has been drop in number of people reading books specially on literature, thus, the intellectual thinking is not being utilized. The author explains that the purpose of reading literature are to widen our imagination and expand knowledge in language and culture. The point is challenged by the lecturer.
