What Literature Means to Me
Literature is incredible. I took an American Literature Before the Civil War class at Chatfield College and I could not get enough of it. I loved reading and I loved the professor, which made the class that much better. I was given many different types of literature including: poetry, short stories and novels. The authors varied greatly; I loved nearly all of the authors and stories I was introduced to. I am not a huge fan of poetry, unless it is simple poetry, like Dr. Seuss; the poetry I read in that class was more advanced, so I struggled a bit with it.
Many books have impacted me in many different types of ways. There is one book that comes to mind when I think about one impacting me in a good way; The Shack, by William Young. It is a fiction book, which is about a man who embarks on an adventure to a shack that his daughter died in. He encounters God, who is the other main character in the story. God appears in three different forms in the books, which symbolizes the trinity. The novel could be very influential to some people; I definitely viewed God in a different way than I had before, but I am a very openly opinionated person. The author is phenomenal; his writing style is very simple for someone in high school. There are some large, complicated words that make it a higher level of reading in my opinion. I would still recommend it to anyone I come across that does not understand how the trinity works, even if they were younger than me. This book is literature to me because it is a published book that entertained me and helped me to learn about God and see Him in a way that had never before crossed my mind.
Literature means everything to me. When I come across people that do not value reading, I practically look at them with disgust. They do not realize how difficult their lives would be if they could not read.Literature is a beautiful word, in my opinion. Just say it to yourself; it is so calming and elegant. To me, literature means works of art looked at and carefully inspected to create a story that entertains you, or enhances your learning. Literature is adored by nearly everyone in the world; without it, we would be a bunch of immature, ignorant, uneducated neanderthals.
