Viewing Literature

Literature is a beautiful thing. Once you see the beauty in it, it's hard to change your opinion about it and vice versa. It's easy to learn from it, but hard to learn new techniques to analyze it. 
This world literature class has opened my eyes to different types of literature, but the only English class I took that was able to change the way I look at literature was the literature class I took last semester with Doug Link. Even then, I looked at literature different during the class, but I went back to my normal ways after a couple of weeks out of the classroom. 
I absolutely love reading things I love reading. If I do not like the story or the style of the author, it is hard for me to finish a book or short story. My views on poems still remains the same. I like simple, easy poems that are easy to describe, but I do not like any other types of poems. They make me mad. I'm glad we got to read The Handmaid's Tale. I am considering buying it myself and reading it again to catch anything I might have missed while reading it the first time. 
I still have a love for literature. I always will. But my view on literature has honestly not really changed because of this class; not to upset anyone. This has been a wonderful, crazy experience and I will remember it forever.
