I would like to tell you about my reaction to the Neil Gainman’s article about the use of fiction. As we know the meaning of a fiction story is imagination or fantasy story‚ it means not a real story. Neil Gainman told us that reading fiction is reading for pleasure that is one of the most important things everyone can do (Gainman‚ 2013).

Postman’s Assertions The social critic‚ Neil Postman‚ created six assertions he believed supported Huxley’s visions in‚ Brave New World. Out of the six‚ the three most relevant ones regarded the fear of the truth being drowned in a sea of irrelevance‚ a trivial culture preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies‚ the orgy porgy‚ and centrifugal bumblepuppy‚ and the loving of technology in order to make us think less. What these three assertions all seem to have in common is that they are all

through the poetry that Mario gets the confidence to pursue the beautiful woman‚ with whom he deeply falls in love. If there were not the existence of the poetry‚ I think Mario would still be a drifter without any passion in life. However‚ at the end of this movie‚ I am shocked by the death of Mario.
