Pre-AP English II: Quickwrite on Faber's "Three Things"

In "The Sieve and the Sand" Faber mentions that society needs three things in order for books to make a difference in the world:
  1. Quality of information: Books must reflect life.
  2. Leisure to digest it: Books must be thought about, though not necessarily agreed with.
  3. The right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first two (the "life" in the text and the reflection upon it).
In 2-3 sentences, discuss whether you agree with Faber's three things and why you feel the way you do.
