How To Read Literature

Decent Essays

In English class during my last year of highschool, I have learned a lot of all these different types of reading. Did I actually read them or did I use all the annotations on line? Well that doesn’t matter does it, the only thing that really matter is that I at least got something out of my English B class. I kinda did, between all the extra hours of homework and the texting in class I should've learned something. Well I did learn that I actually like about three of the stories in this so called literature book, no more or no less just three stories and that's it. The three stories that I found out that I actually like are The Lady of SHALOTT by: Alfred Lord Tennyson, Ah, Are You Diggin on My grave by: Thomas Hardy and The Rocking-Horse …show more content…

H. Lawrence. These are the only stories out of the whole big book that I liked reading, no more no less than these three stories. The first story I picked was The Lady of SHALOTT by: Alfred Lord Tennyson. I like this story because of its curiosity, it’s power and the last thing is the stubbornness. In the story there was this really hot looking guy, who's kinda I guess I could say like the start football player in the school. That every girl wants to go after and he’s the hard one to get because he’s so into all the popular girls and you just want him to look at you for that one little tiny second. So you can get all those butterfly feelings that everybody else gets. Ya, but one problem you're like the girl in this story thats lock away and can’t come out and play. It’s not that you're ugly or anything just that you're kinda stuck in your bedroom under a spell and can’t get out. Well one day this super hot guy comes to your house and you really want to go out and play, but you can’t because well you know the spell won't let you leave. Well what girl who sees a really hot guy outside their window won't try and get out. Well the lady in the story get very curious and climbs out of the window, but the spell says she will die if she leave. She doesn’t care tho because she's super …show more content…

H. Lawrence. I like this story because it teaches us that more isn’t always the best, the little boy passed away trying to get the mom more money and the last thing I like about this story is that it just hits a place at home to lose somebody that close to you. You can have all the money in the whole wide world and still wouldn’t be happy enough. The more money you end up with the more you're going to want. In the beginning of the story the little boys mother needed money so she could feel up in class with the neighbors and have high end stuff, but in the end when she keep getting more and more money she just wanted more and didn’t care how she was getting it or how it made her look. She just liked the fact that it was making her look really high end class and up there with the neighbors. The little boy ends up passing away from riding his horse too hard. He was the one that was getting his mother the money that she wanted and there was one last race that would win a big amount of money. The little boy thought he was the luckiest boy alive because he was winning all this money and making him mother proud and happy. When she found out thats where the money was coming from she didn’t tell him to stop or thank you for everything you do. You gave me the world by giving me all this money. Instead he thought he had to win more to keep her happy and so that's what he did and end up passing away because of it.
