Ralph Cattermole

My name is Ralph Cattermole. I earned my degree in English: Creative Writing in May of 2010. After having studied under numerous published authors, I came to the same conclusion as many: that the written word is deftly important to society in terms of growth and understanding. However, during my education, I noticed that many readers tended to focus on simpler works, what some might call anti-literary, or fictitious works that require little substance when compared to entertainment. I noticed that most readers shied away from classic works because there was a negative stigma attached.
