- Being literate means being knowledgeable in a specific field. Literate people are people that practice in a specific field so they can master it. Illiterate people that don’t attempt to learn or are clueless in a specific field. Usually you hear the terms literate and illiterate in terms of reading and writing. Example we choose that helped us arrive at our definition of literacy is Steven King since he is a very literate person in the field of writing and grammar.

- Our group feels like we could all easily pass that literacy test even though some questions if not examined closely could fool us. The real purpose of this is to keep the poor and uneducated people from not voting and they were written very confusingly so people that weren’t literate wouldn’t understand the questions
- The wife was the most culturally literate because she knew that it wasn’t a part of town that she wanted her family stuck in so when the man asked for payment for information to the express way she was not hesitant to give him more than enough money. There was not as much cultural sensitivity back in the day so gags like this were ok but nowadays if somebody tried to do that in a movie it would receive a lot of criticism and not happen.
