The Affects of Illiteracy

There are many ways illiteracy can affect something or someone, these are some affects of illiteracy in Fiji. The first, affect of illiteracy in Fiji is the people who are affected. The whole community is affected by illiteracy becuase if there were many people who are illiterate in your community, then other communitys might think your community is really bad. If that happens, then there would probably, then that would lead to many fights, and that is very bad. The second affect is, why this is a problem. This is a problem becuase people who are illiterate cant find good jobs, cant make that mnuch money, and wont understand things in the future. If that happens then you would be in a lot of trouble. Another affect is that it only affects some parts of the Pacific. This affects other Pacific Islands becuase, normaly people tihnk one island is all most the same as another island, so if one island like Fiji who has an illiteracy problem, other people might think that Pacific Islands around or near Fiji are illiterate too. This causes fights between the Islands and other things. Next affect and thought is, if illiteracy didnt exist in the Pacific Islands how would life be? Well, life would be a lot better becuase you and others can move on into the right paths, and knowing a lot about things that would probably help the world! Another affect of illiteracy is, the problems that may occur in the future becuase of illiteracy. The problems that may occur in the future may be fights with other islands,nations, and even communitys. This is a big issue! We dont want thoes kind of things in the future! The next affect or thought is, how this problem on illiteracy changed my life. This doesnt really affect me personally, but when I think about it, is that it affects a whole lot of others.This issue made me and Cheyenne think of all the children and even adults who are illitarate. It was a really a bad thought, but now illiteracy is becoming less of a problem, so we dont worry that much. Finaly, the last affect or thought is how illiteracy changed. We have personally seen a lot of Pacific Islands improving their litteracy rates. We are happy to see that, but that means we are heading into a better future! These are some affects of illiteracy in Fiji and other Pacific Islands

Illiteracy is still a problem. These were the reasons why illiteracy can affect someone, or somethings in many diffrent ways!
