Mark O'Brien Assignment 4

          As I get older conversations will hopefully become more and more sophisticated, and so to contribute to these conversations.  A great background in literature would provide me with the tools needed to say things that enrich the conversation.  There are other vital reasons to be able to tie in literary works into a conversation or paper/article.  If I ever am being interviewed my liberal arts background could help me impress the interviewer.  Also the value of knowledge is very high and the more you read the more you learn.  It helps you think more creatively and sound more literate.  It also would help me become a stronger writer which helps with communications as I go further in my future career.
