The reading excerpt states that people are reading far less literature, novels, plays, and poem, this is troubling because the trend has unfortunate effects for the reading public, for culture in general and for the future of literature itself. The author provides three reasons for support. However, the lecture' s audio claims that there are a lot of problems with the author theories and she refutes each of them.
First, the article avers that the decline of literature will affect the intellectual stimulation that literature dose as it encourages imagination. In contrast, the professor opposes this idea by stating that people may read books other than the literature books and also will improve their intellectual stimulation such as history or political science books which also enhance the imaginations. Consequently, this theory cannot support the author' s belief.
Second, the passage posits that diverting time previously spent in literature to trivial forms of entertainment has lowered the level of culture in general. On the other hand, the speaker argues this point by saying that do not read literature and books in general, this is not mean the literature is in decline because may enrich their mind with non-written sources such as movies or music, for example, listening to a brilliant sound, moreover, the culture changes and people may like to listen to speech directly. So, this point of view cannot champion the author' s statement.
Third, the excerpt mentions that this fact bound to lead publishers to invest less in literature and so support fewer serious writers. In contrary, the lecturer counteracts this theory and explains that it is maybe not the audience fault, but, the writer may write in a difficult way that is arduous for people to read. Thus, this outlook contradicts what the professor discussed.
