- The relationship between reading and writing
Sontag’s contribution about the relationship between reading and writing is that they relate to one another. She asserts that, in order for a person to become a good writer, he or she has to be a passionate reader. As she says, she became a writer because she used to read every time. She spends more time in reading than anything she has ever done in life including sleeping. I agree with her that for one to become a good writer, he should engage himself in reading. This is because reading is considered to set standards. It helps one to open up all norms.
- By introduction of technology to allow the blind writers to work differently would make sontage reverse her opinion concerning blind writers because the new technology will help them to write what they have learned hence improving their reading and writing skills.
- According to sontage, in the relationship between reading and writing, she said that reading usually precedes writing. She tried to imply that, the love for reading is considered to be what makes most of the people become good writers. Her love for reading is considered to have filled her with as many as about fifteen thousand books that are known to have been written in her journals. She says that her library was said to be an archive of longings. She implies that, she was not only a voracious reader, but also was enamored with the re-reading act and she would therefore return to her old favorite journals in order to gain new insights.
