Q. what is literature and its significance???
Asked by denbum - Sat Jun 16 23:31:23 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. This better be a HW question, lol. OK. So, where do I begin...Literature is, in my opinion, the best and most reliable resource mankind has ever - and will ever - have. Period. Imagine that various markings, which is pretty much all words are, could reveal thousands of secrets. From history to entertainment to opinions to ANYTHING. It is so very valuable, yet so very dangerous. Oh so very dangerous. On a happier note, that, my friend, is quote/end quote "literature and its significance."

What is a good thesis for fantasy literature and the role it plays for young adult readers?
Q. I'm interested in discovering the benefits and the drawbacks of fantasy literature to young adults. Fantasy literature such as science fiction, supernatural, quest adventures. It seems that adolescents and adults (not everyone) are interested in fantasy literature. For example, novels that made it to the big screen such as "Harry Potter", "Twilight", and "The Lightning Thief" are just a few that are popular to young readers. Despite the obvious that its a marketing tool and its helpful for active reading, what benefit does fantasy literature have to young readers and what could be harmful? Thank you for your time

A. I think a lot of fantasy books help to show young adults, mainly women, that they don't have to be a size 0 and blonde to be the hero. Books like twilight have a heroine that is described as perfect average. The main characters of Harry potter are well Harry Ron and Hermione, and taking away the actors that play them, are not the most attractive, but they are loyal and smart and brave, and many other attributes that could go on for ever. Surly they are better things to be then pretty? I myself started reading fantasy when i was a young teenager to get out of the real world. Life as a young adult is hard, really hard, and sometimes you just need a brake from your real life. Fantasy can never happen, its not real and everyone knows that,… [cont.]

A. Classic literature Timelessness A good piece of literature can be enjoyed by readers from generation to generation. That is timelessness. for example: Shakepeare's works are enjoyed as much today as they were when they were first written, hundreds of years ago. But why? How did he do it? Well, by carefully choosing his theme is one way. Theme A theme is the underlying meaning of a piece of literature. It usually includes an observation about life. It could be the moral of the story, a teaching or an observation of human experience. How Can You Determine a Theme? You are never actually TOLD what the theme is in a story. You determine the theme from the characters, action in a story. In short, you must determine the theme on your own. Some… [cont.]

A. partly, it is the same reason (or one of them) that we read history: to find out where we came from and how we got here. also, the victorian period had a huge increase in people who were literate and had time to read, and novels improved to take advantage of this market.

A. It depends what you are interested in, but some good ones, I think are as follows Lord of the Flies by William Golding --a bunch of English schoolboys are stranded on an island by themselves. They attempt to survive together and govern themselves, but it progresses into a savage existence. Very good. It is a representation of the idea that a society created by man fails, as well as the controversial argument of human nature. Much symbolism. Animal Farm by George Orwell --don't laugh--animals take over a farm, expelling all things human and try to create a civil society. However, they find themselves progressing towards the same existence they started with--but with different oppressors. A representation of the authority manipulation and… [cont.]

A. It depends on what you mean by similar...I suppose you mean it in theme. Well if yes, then I would say Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher-Stowe, Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell and Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God. The first two deal with slavery and the latter with black people trying to survive.

A. You are right about most of that. Furthermore though, most fiction was written by women, sometimes but not usually under psuedonyms (because fiction was the craft of women, not men). Furthermore, any sort of novels written in the time were usually epistolary and issued in serial publications. Most novels of the time, for example, Wieland by Charles Brockden Brown, were released chapter by chapter to a literary magazine and constructed in to a full novel for the modern reader. Most of the fictional literature was of a gothic/romantic type as well, with a female heroine and a mysterious male antagonist. You are correct about the diary/journal aspect. Especially those of early settlers and the native americans. They were seen as real… [cont.]

Who is a hero in history or literature who willingly gave credit for their accomplishments to someone else?
Q. I need to know for a screenplay. Who, in history or literature, either voluntarily became hated for the good of society or who did something great and gave the credit to someone else for the good of everyone. It's pathetic, but all I can think of is Batman from the Dark Knight, how he makes himself out to be a villain at the end so everyone venerates Harvey Dent. Also, I suppose the guy who allegedly wrote Shakespeare's plays would count. Anyone else?

A. History is a retelling of facts about events that happened. Literature is something that you can read. It doesn't have to be based in the time period it is written, but when it is it provides important insights to how people lived, thought, and their culture. Literature is often fiction, where history is supposed to be absolutely factual.
