How literature affects our lives

If Literature was no longer offered as a college or high school course then there would be negative results that will affect student's learning. Literature plays an important role in student's educational learning and will help to accomplish goals that will be needed for their futures. Without literature, students will be missing out on important tools that will be needed in their everyday lives. Literature is viewed as being boring and not useful to some. I took a literature class back in high school and i didn't like it because the text wasn't clear to me. I had a difficult time understand what they were saying. By taking this literature course i hope to having a positive view and understand literature better. The goals and tools that literature will prepare students for the real world are to relate to personal and educational experiences, help to improve critical thinking, writing and reading skills and pay close attention to details.

In literature pieces, the writer tends to write about their personal and educational experiences. A reader can make a connection when a writer talks about their personal experience relating to family, school or realtionships. Personal experiences can help to view a different persective by someone else. It can help the reader to become more open-minded. Also there is educational experiences where comparsions are made. Such as literature with religion or history. Many historical figures wrote literature pieces where they are still discussed and learned today. With these experiences it can help make literature interesting and useful.

Writng, reading and thinking critically are the basic and important skills we need to prepare students for the future. These are the skills many of us learn in school and start to put better use to them later on. Students need these skills to apply to their work and life situtions. For example, at work, its important that you know how to read, write and think. With reading it can help or improve your grammar and vocabulary skills. Grammar and vocbulary play an important role in our communciation skills that we really need in the work force. Writing will help to understand and write good pieces. Those skills help us to complete our tasks and challenge our minds. We also put these skills to work when it comes to life situtions. For example, dealing with money, we think critically by asking ourselves how we need to make or save money. Its a big question everyone deals with everday and comes up with a different answer each time. But before we answer, we have to think critically or realistically by it. These are the most important skills we need in our future especially the work force.

Lastly is the skill of being able to pay close attention to details. Literature helps to preapre students to pay close attention when reading the pieces. Paying close to details helps to better understand the text and being open-minded. Understanding something is important because it teaches us to learn and think critically. Being open-minded is also important because students will see other view points and not just your own. Overall, it helps to solve problems when paying close attention to details, the littlest detail can help answer a big problem.
