The Importance Of Writings In Literature

“For all the quotes, phrases, poems, books, myths, and legends through history; the only words of importance are the ones that bestow a great influence within ourselves”

Reading and writing is an important aspect in the lives of all individuals. With reading and writing, there are many levels of love and hate, and as much as I hate to say it, I was on the hate side for a very long time. Strangely enough, a teacher I had in high school, Mr. Shafer, change my whole outlook on writing.

Since the mid 20th century literature has been a prominent aspect of life in American culture, beginning how to read it in our childhood to benefiting by it throughout adulthood. Throughout the texts of “Heels over Hemingway”, “Why Literature Matters” , and “Good-bad books” all similarly argue the idea that Literature has changed over the years, due to the fact that American has changed as well effecting literature. For this reason Dowd, Orwell, and Gioia assert to their audience the importance of literature, and that it should have a place in society by utilizing rhetorical strategies such as analogy, ethos, pathos, logos, and diction.

Decide how you will take notes, i.e. pen and paper, laptop computer, or tape recorder.

I know that writing takes a lot of time to organize and you just don’t get it overnight, no matter how many hours you practice. It take a lot of skills to become good as someone who writes a novel, that’s why you need an important person or author that you like who can help you become a better writer. The grade I think I deserve in this class is a B- because I know I don’t do a lot of participating, my work take a lot of skills to read because nobody have ever taught me to write and I feel my writing is getting better I just need a little push, and I have turned in all my work.

“Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there.” This is one of my favorite quotes from Ray Bradbury in his famously known book, Fahrenheit 451. This book is read by high schoolers every year, even my father read this book in school. Literature has been around since Egyptians created hieroglyphics. Schools have educated people on how to read and write for centuries. Who cares about history, but why do we, as a society, continue to pressure others to learn to read and write? Deborah Brandt says we should have literacy sponsors. “[Sponsors] lend their resources or credibility to the sponsored but also stand to gain benefits from their success, whether by direct payment or, indirectly, by credit of association.” My literacy sponsors have ingrained in me the meaning of reading and writing, along with literacy in technology. Literature is an art. Art inspires people. The most sold piece of art is a book called the Bible. This book has introduced and influenced religion. Literature gives us hope, faith, and encouragement. When the Bible was written, it left behind a legacy that is unmatched from any piece of literature. Literature brings out people’s thoughts, their culture, their way of life,

People write all the time, whether they know it or not. Writing can be expressed at different times and for different reasons. Also, people write to many different audiences, such as: themselves, significant others, family members, friends, strangers, co workers, or possibly to nobody. The reasons for writing are endless, it engages learning, remembering, expressing, connecting, and healing. In addition, writing can be somebody’s voice, a way to be heard, a way to be recognized. Throughout life I have always been timorous and quiet, but I have found my voice through writing.

Personally, I think the point of literature is entirely subjective. Even the definition of literature can be interpreted differently. In class just now, it was defined as written works with artistic value, which I agree with to some extent, but then again, what does and doesn’t constitute as artistically valuable is also subjective. I feel like I’m on a fast-track to my history and philosophy class here, being all like “everything is subjective, nothing is real”. The point, the purpose, the goal of literature can be so many things. In earlier human evolution, the Homo Sapiens’ ability of more advanced communication than that of other animals, the way we evolved to understand and communicate not only the tangible reality of our surroundings (after all, the Neanderthal could do this too), but also perceive and deal in hypotheticals and what’s referred to as the imaginary reality – the capability to believe in made-up concepts like gods, money, nations – is what made us the sole surviving human species; it gave us reasons to unite, to coexist in larger groups and eventually entire societies. Without this crucial cognitive development, we wouldn’t have

High school has been my most treasurable experience so far; a time where I have learnt about a range of topics and developed the skills to view things from a personal perspective. For this, I owe a great thanks to all my English teachers; especially Mrs Hinds, who is here with us today and Mrs Lyndon, who helped prepare us for our final stretch of school. While preparing for this speech, when I read the assessments from the past two years, it surprised me to realise how much I had missed the point of each of the tasks. Only now while nearing the end this twelve-year part of my life, have I realised the importance of each individual topic. I realised that no other subject has delved into such a range of diverse matters from the present and past. Just as in Harper Lee’s quote from ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’: “People generally see what they look for and hear what they listen for”. What I missed were the fascinating features of our culture, encapsulated in varying English literature; which of course, were obvious when studying the works of Shakespeare or of the Romantic poets of the eighteenth and nineteenth century. But only after my interest in the subject spiked was I able to understand that I was missing deeper aspects hidden within all types of literature.

Do all kids read comics? Will they enhance your reading skills? According to Kat Kan, the answer is definitely a yes. In her article, “What kinds of kids read comics?” the author described a number of instances which proved the conclusion she made. She said that every child either they are eager readers or struggling/ special needs kids; kids who are not really into reading books will read comics irrespective of what category they belong to.

Throughout literary history, many books and essays have been considered niche because only a small audience can appreciate them. However, in most cases, writers who create these niche pieces do not pursue to make them niche because that means the work is not financially successful. Writers usually do not have people in mind when they are writing because they are naturally trying to make the best piece of literature they can produce from their ideas. If they had people in mind while writing, writers would not produce the literature they want to write, but what the hoi polloi asks from the writer. This begs the question, how can readers affect the writer and his or her work?

Literature is a class that every student should take because it would better them as students and as humans in society. It helps by your writing skills and grammar gets better and you become a better writer and those skills goes a long in life. Many of those skills would come helpful when trying to communicating with people in the workforce. When applying for a job your writing skills would come out helpful.

However that not the only things that would come out from taking the literature class as well as taking about subject that no one else what to. Therefore you get a sense of understanding on subjects that no one else what to talking about, and what everyone else thinks about the subject as well. Literature is a subject that can be taken back many years ago that can still be related to today’s issues. Literature is like history where we can learn from it and make the situation better. Many college students may argue that their field of study may not need it, however literature is a class where you can have discussions with different people from different backgrounds, and get their view of the subject.  However it is understanding that they may not want to take it, because it will cost them money for a class they do not need it. When taking a literature class you may be required to read books and talk to the classroom about it, and that is why it is a benefit

Why should Christians attain knowledge from a worldly view? What does a world view in literature offer to a biblical view? Christians sometimes seclude themselves from the outside world because of legalistic views. Different views could be valuable to help you understand the culture of the time and help you understand the nature of their era. You can also test the information to examine what is truth and what is false. The Word of God communicates the truth! But test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good (New international version 1 Thess 5:21). Literature is beneficial in the fact that God created the mind and emotions of the writers. And God uses whomever he chooses to bring him glory.
