Rita Dove - "For the Love of Books"

Rita Dove loves to read books and try to imagine herself as being in the story. She said that while reading you were able to travel anywhere and to any time period and I agree. Reading also adds knowledge to the reader and expands their mind. She is particularly fond of harder books because they are more of a challenge and have more descriptions. She also likes to read play writes, for example: Stories by Shakespearer, and the story Macbeth. One of the reasons she loves reading is because back in the early 1900s African Americans didn't have the option of reading. They were very lucky if there owner would teach them to read, but now since she is able to read she does it all the time.
This ties extremely well into Social Justice because of the aforementioned reading options of African Americans in the 1900s. Since Whites didn't let the negros read they were violating the thought of Social Justice. Not only is this unfair to the African Americans, but it is also unfair to the United States because maybe that particular person would have been able to do great things for the country. If Social Justice is practiced everyday the United States will be in a lot better shape, benefiting not only economically, but also with diversity.
