Literacy
Literacy is the ability to read, write, speak, and listen in meaningful and socially-acceptable ways. One who is able to do that is literate and those who can't are illiterate. Similarly, one can be computer literate or illiterate, depending upon the ability to use a computer. Questions about literacy are asked in this category.

What happens in Lois Duncan's book They Never Came Home?
May brings a dry spring, with 'warm winds heavy and pink with dust from the mesas', settling in thick layers upon furniture and window sills. Dust-filtered sun 'bathed the world in an eerie rose-colored glow, completely obliterating the view of the mountains.' The latter creates a certain amount of relief for the families who face the terrain each day, with tragic thoughts of Dan and Larry. The telephone rings constantly, including a call ID'd as John Brown, who tells Joan that Larry owes him $2100 from a business deal. Joan meets Brown at the library, and anxious to keep this from her parents, agrees to cross the border into Mexico to work off her brother's debt. Dan's brother Frank insists on traveling with Joan.

Literacy development pertains to the development of a persons reading and writing abilities. There are many levels of literacy development starting with recognizing letters and their sounds, being able to sound out words by breaking them into simple forms, reading and comprehending and the ability to write with meaning.
Literacy (reading and writing competence) is important because it allows the communication of information and ideas in a manner which is persistent and independent; a voice can be heard when spoken, but what happens to the information it imparts for posterity? Where is the voice without the speaker?
If the information can be recorded, it can be disseminated to a wider audience, or repeatedly, for an indefinite time ever after. The written word is harder to misinterpret when employed effectively, and does not change with time as with 'word of mouth', where information can become distorted through inaccurate retelling and interpretation.
Electronic recording and rich media require sophisticated equipment, power sources, and storage media. Hand-made images might impart a lot of information, but they take time to create and can be misinterpreted. With large libraries of information, images and rich media become difficult (or impossible) to index without some form of ordinal/symbolic system to determine order and summarise content.
The ability to write is essential to long-distance or time-delayed communication, whether it be a shopping list pinned to the fridge or an email to a goods supplier. Attempting to convey relevant information via stick-man doodles would be time-consuming and confusing.
Likewise, knowing what you need to shop for, or understanding your supplier's response, is better facilitated by being able to quickly scan and understand a series of written words than by having someone who IS literate read everything back to you. If you are unable to read in the first place, it is unlikely that you'll have status or wealth enough to afford a full-time assistant for this purpose.
Besides impeding your daily interactions, illiteracy would stunt your potential and deny you access to education and entertainment. It's all well and good that you can enjoy a Hollywood action flick without being literate, but without knowing what the movie is called, what it's about, where it's being screened, what time, or how much a ticket is... well, you're going to be watching random television adverts alone at home while everybody else cheers on the Avengers, aren't you?
Illiteracy can shorten your life. You wouldn't last long in a world where warning and danger signs are just so much colourful junk, would you? Sure, the images and colours help convey the important information, but if you can figure out what colours and shapes mean, why not go all-in and learn what the little squiggly bits are all about, too? It could make the difference between watching for loose rocks underfoot, for instance, or falling to your death because you were looking up instead, or being electrocuted because you thought the imminent death warning was a Flash Gordon poster.
Finally, when that letter comes from your long-lost auntie who has left her seven-digit fortune to you in her will... you wouldn't want to dump that unread into the recycling bin with the junk mail would you?

Is there one word for passing judgment on historical events using today's way of thinking?
If you are looking for a word that means looking at already concluded events with the knowledge gained from those events hindsight would be appropriate.
However, if you are discussing the tendency of humans to pass judgment on historical events and make moral judgments about past actions I would suggest the "Fallacy of Historical Perspective". This is a logical fallacy, or a fallacy in the way we commonly think and reason. It suggests that today can be used to judge yesterday.
What is important to think about when reading a set of historical letters?
The relationship between the writers
Is a scrapbook a primary source?
No, unless you are writing about bibliography as a topic in its own right.
___
A bibliography is a list of all the sources one quotes/cites when writing articles, papers and books. Your primary sources would certainly be listed in your bibliography. For papers and books, the bibliography is usually placed in the back before the index of authors and/or general information. If you are attempting to use a bibliography from a publication as your primary source for information in your work, I would not grade it favorably. It would show more originality for you to research that author's articles/books in the bibliography and see if you can develop another angle for your unique and original work.
Why is Egypt's literacy rate lower than the number of doctors they have?
This question is built on a misperception of Egypt's statistics. Egypt's literacy rate is 51.4% and less than 0.1% of all Egyptians are doctors.
However, it would certainly be difficult to explain why there would be more doctors than literate individuals in any country as becoming a doctor typically requires literacy.
