The rise of literacy standards from Dwayne Lowery point of view is that he is in competition with himself and in order for him to keep the job that he has he has to read more. Since he had a lower education he has to work harder in order to keep the job, so that means more reading and writing for him. But he has to understand what the reading is so he can comprehend what it’s saying. Throughout the story he gets a higher paying job and he struggles every new job that he gets. There’s also, another way you can look at it is he blow off his education and he felt like if he would of stayed he would of understood what his jobs are about and how much quicker he would of gotten it without having to struggle through it.
