How To Read Literature

Although, there are many claims that literature are written pieces, I believe that it doesn't have to be written. Personally, every night on the verge of falling asleep, I review what I’ve experienced, learned and felt during the day and convert it into a story. I have been doing this ever since I was young and I consider it to be literature, because in the end “the characters and the world [makes] the story” not the words, they are just a tool (Rowell 107). I make these stories, because without them I can’t fall asleep. Likewise many individuals, I have trouble sleeping at night, because all the stress I was able to hide from my family and friends during the day, emerges and haunts me at night, when I’m alone in the dark in my most vulnerable state. Stories are essentially “the most agreeable way of ignoring life” (Pessoa). In addition to the stories, I listen to music as I drift into my beauty sleep. Music, itself, has it’s own story and emotions, therefore it is a form of literature. Along with my stories, music is a great stress reliever. The musical component adds to my stories, which brings everything together into a great master piece; it seems more like a movie. These movies are my life, and they are among some of the last connections that I have with my childhood, therefore I would never transfer them onto paper. …show more content…
It also promotes knowledge through the mistakes made by other people, therefore it contributes to our well-being by suggesting tips and ideas that may be life changing. In general, there is power in literature, where simple things like words, sentences and paragraphs influences everyone on a great scale. Therefore, I believe that
“[somewhere] inside of us is the power to change the world” and that power’s foundation is literature. (Dahl 1996). Thus, there is no end and nor there will be to

This quotes foreshadows hardships on the life of the creature because of the on a “dreary night” and the month of November.…

    In Thomas C. Foster’s book How to Read Literature Like a Professor, he continues his analysis on sexuality in chapter seventeen. However, unlike the previous chapter, which discussed the presence of sex embodying itself in various forms, chapter seventeen indicates that definitive mentionings to sex in reality signify everything but the act itself. This is evident in the ways female writers such as Angela Carter employ sex as a way to undermine and reflect upon the precepts of a patriarchal world by “attempt[ing] to discover paths by which women can attain standing in the world that male-dominated society has largely denied them . . .” (107). This deliberate attempt is indicative of Grandpa’s sexual relationship with Grandma; as sex in their…

Foster uses examples of novels in order to explain the difference between literal vampirism, such as Dracula, and symbolic vampirism, such as Daisy Miller.

    To say that I am a reader would be a stretch. I can not remember the last time I picked up a book for my own personal pleasure. Some would say that should bother me, but I can’t agree with the reasoning behind it. Mostly people bring up how books have broadened their horizons and changed their way of thinking, which is something I can’t relate to. Instead, I would say that I agree with what a good book should do, but I can‘t say I have found a good book, or a page turner if you will.…

    The book Fahrenheit 451 is the hyperbolized future of author Ray Bradbury’s perception of the society he was living in. He paints a picture of a shallow society incapable of deep thought that has banned reading to ‘protect themselves’. He has an entire country with their lives based around the television, and firemen who seek out and burn books. The main character, Guy Montag, is interrupted from being just another cog in the monotonous machine of this dystopian nation and forced to think about the books that he makes a living setting ablaze, and the society that would ban them. Lois Lowry’s…

    It teaches us about problem solving and the wrong assumption that many people make trying to impart their solution onto other’s problems. Sometimes just sitting back and looking at the big picture can solve the problem. May be there wasn’t a problem to solve, it just some animals not minding their own business? It also teaches us to respect and the text provides a valuable lesson about diversity and not to focus on ‘looks’. Literature is a faucet that can give flow to language that creates ideas and floods the imagination and gives rise to knowledge.…

    In How to Read Literature like a Professor, Foster says that most pieces of work are centered on politics and that the books job is to persuade and convince the audience that what they are trying to get across is the honest and true way to go about things. In the case of Gulliver’s Travels, Jonathan Swift dose just that, by starting off subtle and having everything fall together in the end. Gulliver’s first adventure to the Island Lilliput is what sparks a chain reaction that leads to Gulliver questioning England’s political standings. When he visits all these different places he discovers these different creatures, sizes, religions and cultures; which in turn show him a different aspect of life that is free and run by different forms of government.…

    The first chapter of the book How to Read Literature like a Professor, by Thomas C. Foster discusses the importance of recognizing the quest in every story. What comes to mind when reading the word quest would be a stereotypical medieval setting. This medieval setting would consist of five things, a quester, a place to go, a stated reason to go there, challenges and trials, and a deeper and more meaningful reason to go which is usually not clearly stated. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley meets all of the requirements of a “quest”, the quester being Victor Frankenstein. The place to go in the quest would be more of the pursuit of greater knowledge while the stated reason would be personal satisfaction gained by the protagonist in reaching the desired knowledge.…

    One of the first things we talk about at the beginning of a writing course is this: What does it mean to “read like a writer?” One of the skills that helps students learn to write — or learn to write better — is to alter their reading habits so that instead of reading as readers, they begin to read as writers. The difference is in the focus of the reading. I definitely think close reading is a prerequisite for good writing. It's a way to gain knowledge of the field, to expand ideas about style and voice, and puts the writer in the position of the person he hopes will one day be reading what he writes.…
