Here are the answers the 5 questions we got in english class.
1. Define literacy as I understand it.
Literacy has many different parts to it. The basic parts are reading and writing. But there is much more then that. You can be literate in a number of things. Computers, mathematics, and meteorology are just a few.
2. What types of literacy do I have?
My types of literacy are mainly the basic (reading and writing) as well as some mathematical and computers. I know some things about video games (not as much as some others) as well as the "sport" of bowling.
3. What types would I like to have?
There are tons of literacy I don't have but would like. More about computers, science, and sports are some I would really like to have. I would also like to know more about music (not only the kind on the radio but concert hall music, and even pep band music).
4. How important is it as defined by me?
In the days we live now, literacy is very important. If you can't read or write you really can't do very much. Reading is a must if you want to go to school, drive, watch certain T.V. programs, and use the internet. Writing is important to get any job. You can't fill out an application or make a resume if you are not able to write.
5.How will my time at Purdue affect my literacy?
I wish while I am here at Purdue that my literacy of sports, creative writing, and maybe even music will be amplified.
Well there are my 5 answers.

Interesting comments. I agree that literacy plays a huge role in our society. You could probably expand your list of things that require literacy to the hundreds or thousands. I wonder how we would fare in a less literate society, or how someone from a less literate society would do in our society.
I hope you can become more literate about music. Like art (and probably many areas), music appreciation seems to require musical literacy. As a non-musician, I enjoy music on a very superficial level, but I know that a musically literate person can get so much more out of music than I.
