Writing for the Uninspired Reader
Myers, Walter Dean
English Journal, v94 n3 p36 Jan 2005
Walter Dean Myers, a writer, believes that a primary cause of lack of inspiration in readers is their difficulty decoding meaning because of language and societal differences. Myers especially wants and strives to reach the uninspired readers, particularly those living in the inner city, by writing, using their language and contexts.
