English conquers two of three “R”s The first two of the three “R”s fall into the almighty English Department. Seeing that it is the first two of the three “R”s and seeing that we must have three units of credit to graduate, English must be meant to be worth something. The subject is worth something; and a great deal more than we may think. The way we speak and write presents ourselves a certain way to people. Don’t underestimate reading ei- ther, because the knowledge we gain from reading shows up in our spoken and written word. You see, all three things are interrelated, and so, logically think- ing, the higher the level of reading, writing, and speak- ing we put into people, the higher level of society we would get from them. That’s what the English folks try to do—instill a bit of knowledge into us and erase a bit of ignorance so that we may contribute some- thing to make our society some better. English Department 19
