18. "Badly drawn, badly written,
and badly printed - a strain on the
young eyes and young nervous systems –
the effects of these pulp-paper
nightmares is that of a violent stimulant.
Their crude blacks and reds spoils a
child's natural sense of colour; their
hypodermic injection of sex and murder
make the child impatient with better,
though quieter, stories. Unless we want
a coming generation even more ferocious than the present one,
parents and teachers throughout America must band together to break the `comic' magazine."

26. "For now and for the foreseeable future, any serious reader
will have to know how to travel down two very different
roads simultaneously. No one should avoid the broad,
smooth, and open road that leads through the screen.
But if you want to know what one of Coleridge’s annotated
books or an early “Spider-Man” comic really looks and
feels like, or if you just want to read one of those
millions of books which are being digitized, you still
have to do it the old way, and you will have to
for decades to come." Anthony Grafton, “Future Reading”

59. Imagine you have an internship with a state
legislator interested in literacy issues.
She has asked you to give a short presentation
summarizing what the research says about
youth and reading. Using data from these two
studies, how would you summarize their findings?
Which findings would you point out are
contradictory or problematic?
She really likes bullet points. If you were to
summarize these findings in four or five
bullet points, what would they say?
