No less an authority on literature than Leo Tolstoy wrote that there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts. The same is true for English teachers: There are as many reasons to teach literature as there are teachers of literature. The most philosophical teachers could assert that fiction serves as a self-actualizing force, that people read “to set the darkness echoing” (Heaney 1463). Still more could posit that an English class serves as an introduction to the canon, ensuring that…

History books state the first story written was the “Epic of Gilgamesh” and the first book printed was the Gutenberg Bible. An interesting fact, one came before Christ and the other after, but both have roots in religion and contain stories about death and dying. So it is not surprising that literary works are filled with the same. While some works allude to it others bring it to the forefront. Emily Dickinson, in her poem “479”, boldly states, “Because I could not stop for Death” (1206) but…

conditions are mentioned in order to create an atmosphere and to create a mood. While weather can create tension and fear, the same conditions can also have positive meanings depending on the context. Rain is a weather condition mentioned often in literature.

It 's never just rain. And that goes for…

there would be guns. So yes, church would be a good idea. In the church, he will not be alone, and there will be no guns. I will have nothing to fear. My son will be in the hands of God. So I said. “You may go to church instead, and sing in the children’s choir”. Little did I know that nature knew better. I guess it was just at a corner giggling, just waiting for the opposite of my expectations to explode on my face, and then laugh. I have no other explanations for it that is why I said it…

This is ironic because in the story Ralph is the one trying to get the boys rescued, when Jack is more interested in hunting, but in the end Jacks acts of savagery is what end up getting them back to civilization. Irony is an important part of literature because it can develop the reader 's interest, possibly even create a little humor to the reader. Golding uses the irony in his novel to create meaning and to spark a certain…

Literature like many others things didn’t make much sense when I was young. I grew up in a country where literature seemed to be non-existent or just buried within heaps of school textbooks which forced a generation of Nepalese kids to put creativity in the shadows. However, moving to a country with such a rich literary past changed the story completely. Literature at first seemed foreign but once I started devouring books, it just became natural. For me literature bridged the gap between…

apart from everyone else. Everyone has a different experience of life, perspective and mind. It is how a mother tells her identical twins apart and what makes an applicant stand out in a job interview. As personality expresses who a person is, in literature an author’s writing style express themselves. An author’s writing style is what makes their work unique. Writer’s use elements such as word choice, sentence structure and rhetorical devices to make their work stand out. Novels such as The…

art of writing is undoubtedly a rare passion that cannot be overlooked. When one has the gifted ability to give simple five-lettered words a more powerful meaning than their literal definition, they should consider themselves lucky. Not only does literature allow us the space necessary to grow alongside the millions of authors, but it also exposes us to the many different styles of writing. Through reading, we naturally develop a stronger hand at writing. Writing is an escape from reality for…
