Chapter 2
It shows us how history has shaped and molded reading and how it was inspired.
Inspiration was the root for story telling. It was a way of recounting one's life in entertaining way which could be exaggerating but enjoyable. It also reveals how society influences the popularity of books.
In the early ages it was a privilege for those of wealth. It was interesting to read how books were made and illustrated and it came down to resources which were available at the time and how some of the stories still live on today such as The Little Mermaid and Ugly Duckling just some of my favorites.
I personally enjoyed reading about the Victorian Age which exploded in it's time. It instill values of respect, family and God. In today world this would seem very conservative. I felt it was real rounded by showing concern for poor children and their working conditions.
Writing there seem to be purpose for either enjoyment, instruction, inspiration and motivational.
