Literature to me does matter because without it we will be watching drama shows such as Bad Girls Club and Jersey Shore. I have seen good pieces such as the Notebook, it is a good book and it made me see love. We can put Twilight, it is a modern day Romeo and Juliet with a human girl and a vampire. In my Spanish class last semester, for a project the class had a choice to go see a play called Don Juan Tenorio. It was written in the 1844, it has a mix of Romeo and Juliet and teaching a man not to be selfish. Literature has a better meaning and it is to make everyone realize what the meaning of life is, it helps you see past experiences. There are many stories that have good views of any type of problem. A person has to be open to read it.
Many people have seen Romeo and Juliet, the story was written by William Shakespeare. Till this day I see the movie on Showtime. It is the newest version but it is based on the original story. Literature is written to give people a new thought of life. It is there to make someone realize new things. A person can get an understanding in the past time when literature was coming from the best. Literature can talk about war, love, happy, sacrifice, and life in general. I can honestly say I have not read much literature besides what I have read in my English classes but literature seems to grab much attention. Literature will help anyone learn new things and make you think further into a situation. Literature matters to me because it shows me how to experience life. Literature has a way of speaking from a point of view that anyone can possible relate to. Literature will inform a person of how life is, how to love, give a person a different point of view. It can help you change your view because you can read something and think I do not want to be like that. There are many ways reading and literature can make you see things differently.
In this class, I want to learn more about the literature. I want to read more of the literature that makes you think and importantly inform you of how times use to be. In some of the literature I have read has made me see differently. I want this class to help me see that reading any kind of literature is good to read and no matter how much it may sound boring it has a meaning to why it is and has been written. I see the world differently. I can be closed minded when something does not get my attention. I want to be able to change that in this class. I want to be able to read or at least know about Hamlet and Roots without it boring me. I know what they are about but I want to be able to read them fully. Just how I read Twilight without it boring me.
Hey, I watch Bad Girls Club and Real World and I LOVE The Notebook. I think it is because of literature we have these great shows I know it may sound silly but these ideas had to come from somewhere. I think literature has an impact on people’s lives without them even knowing it everything around us is filled with literature. The music we listen to, the movies we watch on TV even how people interact with each other is a response to literature. A person can benefit from reading literature because it can expand not only their minds but also their vocabulary. I liked what you said about literature showing you how to experience life. That is so very true because things today are not that much different than they were a few year ago they might happen under different circumstance but the outcome remains the same so why not read about someone’s past life experiences and learn from it you might decide to approach the situation in a whole other manner. I never thought about in that sense but it makes a world of sense, thanks you have taught me a new way to respond to literature.
