WRA 130 Andrew Colannino

The main Idea of this article is to emphasize the importance of reading. He says that reading is more important than most people think, that it has a deeper meaning than what the public thinks. 

The author starts off by telling a story of how he learned to read. He goes into deep detail of how a single word has a meaning behind it and how when you read a word you can imagine and interpret it in a unique way. He also talks about how we subconsciously read things like a billboard, for example. He then states how we read in a non-texual context and how important it is that we do this.

This article was very interesting and I believe it has the right idea. It is obviously very important to read but there is a deeper meaning to what we read and how we interpret things than what most people think. The author explains this well and gives many credible examples that made me think about things that I have never thought about in that context.
