Read the excerpt from Mateo's argumentative essay.
Students should only be assigned classic literature in
school. Curriculum is designed to teach students
historical facts; therefore, contemporary works should
not be included. If students insist on reading modern
texts, they should do so in their free time. People who
read contemporary novels do not respect the important
authors who helped advance the English language. If
learning institutions want to develop competent
citizens, they will eliminate contemporary texts from the
curriculum.
