Students will explore receptively and expressively three major literary genres, DRAMA, POETRY and PROSE FICTION. English Literature provides students with opportunities to explore and respond critically to specific literary texts as they examine and understand the author’s technique.

WHY STUDY LITERATURE?

To develop and sharpen analytical skills
Literature lends itself to creativity
The study of literature will help you to move from one realm to the next--- From the literal to the symbolic and figurative
Literature lends itself to expression
To turn things inside out, draw inferences and make conclusions
The study of literature helps you to look beyond the periphery
In reality no one can be single minded. This is limiting to the creativity and dynamism of the human element. Studying LITERATURE demolishes this limitation.
All in all the study of literature broadens the perspective of the individual.
To be LESS boring and MORE explorative
Literature is just plain FUN!!!

    When you think of an event do you think of the before or after, or do you compare them? In Thomas Hardy 's poem "The Convergence of the Twain: (Lines on the Loss of the Titanic)" he compares the intent of the original areas within the ship purpose to the current location at the bottom of the ocean; in addition to the fate of the ship and the iceberg. The Titanic was known to be the largest and most luxurious ship of its day. It was considered by its builders to be unsinkable however in April 1912 she struck an iceberg and sank to the bottom of the ocean taking hundreds of lives with her. By coincidence this was also the same year that Hardy losses first wife, Emma Lavinia Gifford, due to sudden death (BBC). An analysis of the "The Convergence of the Twain: (Lines on the Loss of the Titanic)" reveals that vanity in addition to poor construction , and the perfect construction of the iceberg led to the fate of the Titanic; as seen through the eyes of a mourning man.…

    The question of what is literature and why we study it is a very difficult question to answer. This because there is no simple, or arguably completely correct, answer to what literature is. I believe literature is anything written down with the intent for it to be read by others for enjoyment or knowledge. The study of literature is important to us so we can try to get an idea of what life is like the perspective of the person writing the literature we study.…

    Literature is one of the main ways people express themselves through. The stories being written serve to make the reader think and finish the book with having more knowledge than they did going in. Literature is full of messages that help the reader realize there’s more to this story and what the writer is trying to tell them. That the words written down are more than just what they say, they were deliberately put there by the writer trying to get the reader to understand. Literature use of themes helps people connect more to humanity and themselves.…

    Literature opens our minds to imagination, creativity, and individuality. Lamentably, individuality is a treasurable aspect that has begun to be discouraged in modern society. One of today’s trends is to conform to societal pressures and hide one’s true self, as seen in Langston Hughes’ “Salvation.” Based on a true experience, Hughes exposes how he lost faith in religion as he witnessed his church’s “big revival.”…

    Literature, from my perspective, is a way to get people to think. Literature can be used as a form of expressio, that humans can relate to. Authors of Literature can make the reader come to realizations that otherwise would not have been thought of. Greek plays depicted and explained their myths. What I like about literature is that it brings up ideas, questions and thoughts that you would never have experienced in the first place. It educates you in a sense. Some pieces of literature you might relate to, those that you don’t, they might educate you and bring you new ideas.…

    I learned how to analyze literature more effectively when I wrote a literary analysis (Benchmark #2). I saw the importance of analyzing literature and never seeing it at face value. I also learned from seeing the tools that the author, of the book I read, used to engage readers. There seemed to be lots of stories and allegories in the book that gave vivid picture as to what was being described.…

    It is astonishing that my journey through English class has come to a close. My path has been a smooth and enjoyable one, and it is with great sadness that I begin to gather up the ends of my literary education. I know that I will continue to grow and develop as a critical reader/thinker throughout my life, but I will miss the educational structure that has shaped my literary understanding for the last year.…
