I have never been the type of person to read and write blogs for no reason, except for when it is required for a course. I hardly even know where to begin a essay or a post, even when I’m writing about something I enjoy. Literature to me is something to read and learn while taking a class or to study for an upcoming test. I don’t really think about literature just being there to read, enjoy, and learn for fun.
Maybe because I haven’t read anything that arouses my interest or maybe I just don’t give it a chance. By that I mean, maybe I don’t fully pay attention to the readings and meanings. This semester, I’m going to try to understand the literature and all its meaning. I’m hoping it changes my current thoughts and perceptions about it.
Certain literature can inform on environmental issues, social issues, and other important issues. Literature can be a tool to learn and be informed on a wide variety of topics. It can change your views on certain issues and topics after you have read the work, and sometimes it can even be life changing. Some of the best literary work from way back is still referenced today, and also has a big impact on today’s issues. I have not yet read any literature that changed my way of thinking or informed me on new or interesting topics. I’m hoping this will change while I’m taking this class.
To me, people take literature to seriously and give it to much credit for things. I know everyone’s different and like different things. But I expect to have my perceptions changed about literature, also I want to learn and hear about other people’s perceptions and thoughts about this topic, for I could understand more and different views about literature. I am expecting my views to change since I have little experience and I’m not to familiar with this topic. Maybe I will even take extra English and literature classes after this required course, who knows?
