This was the answer to a previous question I helped someone with, so I am just copy-pasting it here since it fits all the criteria of your question:
English should be America's national language because the population percentage of people who do not speak English at home are at 19.7 percent, leaving 80.3 percent to full English speakers. Even though Europeans came later, its populace of Europeans grew faster and larger than had it been elsewhere. In conclusion, the English language should be declared as the number one language because it is spoken more throughout the country, and it's developed new accents in interior states.

Answer:
This is a quote by Connie Willis, an American writer. The quote is from her science fiction novel, <em>the Passage</em> (2001).
In this excerpt, she asserts that literature is a massage from the past. Through literature, people from the past tell us about life and death, and give us instructions on how to live. Wills suggests the readers to listen to these people, and uses a concerned tone. The idea is that we can look at other people's experiences and learn from their mistakes. Literature is, thus, a means of communication between people from the past and the present.
