The Dictionary

The youth of today generally have no idea of what literacy is. The think if they can read a book, and write an essay that they are good to go. But what they don't know is that they are missing out on alot.
The essay we read goes into description about Santa and his sleigh. Everyone generally belives that the sleigh flies but in the original text the reigndeer simply jump ontop of the houses. How many people honestly knew that? I know I didn't. This is only one example of our generation and the gap we have with the past.
More so, many people of our generation don't know older authors or books. Sure some of us know "To Kill A Mockingbird" or "A Raisin In The Sun" but that is probably because of an english class somewhere down the road. There are only a select few, probably 1 out of 10 that read that sort of stuff to learn, or for pleasure.
What they were trying to do by writing this Dictionary was to bridge the gap between the "Mockingbird" generation and ours. So that by doing this, our generation can have all that they knew, plus some. Because as it is with each generation, we try to get ahead in life by learning from the past.
