"Literature helps us grow, both personally and intellectually. It opens doors for us. It stretches our minds. It develops our imagination, increases our understanding, and enlarges our power of sympathy. It helps us see beauty in the world around us......It makes us human."
~Edgar V. Roberts, Writing About Literature, pg.2

This partial paragraph, through the words and ideas the author used, points to all people who are old enough and civilized enough to read. It does open doors for us, doors that lead to survival. The kind of doors I'm talking about are literal doors that might open into a library, bookstore, school building, office or other work building, your Grandma's attic, and so much more. These places and others that hold literature make us who we are, an educated, well-informed, well-spoken generation. And as time moves on and new generations are born, more opportunities to read and write open. More books are being written, and more stories told.

Nice work with literal and metaphorical doors, and your highlighted phrases are correct.
