Recommended: An empirical review on factors that affect the teaching of literature

In almost all children’s books, authors write fun and playful stories that ultimately intend to teach those reading it a lesson about life. The lessons seem simple, but they all make statements regarding how people function in the complex society of today. No matter what age a person is, reading literature will always provide a lesson concerning life and all of the challenges that come along with it. Without teaching these lessons, there would be no point to reading the story at all. In fact, the story would not even exist. The books My Antonia, The Joy Luck Club, and The Odyssey all prove true the fact that for a story to have value, it must make a statement. In Willa Cather’s My Ántonia, she brought to light numerous questions regarding

  • Homer’s Odyssey and O Brother, Where Art Thou?

    1047 Words  | 3 Pages

    In both Homer’s The Odyssey and the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? the audience is given an opportunity to experience a spectacular adventure, filled with not only the sense of journey, but also the senses of peril and excitement. A tale about a Greek hero being compared to a film set in Middle America starring three jail-escapees seems rather far-fetched. However, upon closer inspection, both actually share a lot in common. The Odyssey stars Odysseus, a man famous for his heroics in the Trojan War. O Brother, Where Art Thou? shows a bit of a contrast by starring Ulysses, a former convict who escaped and began looking for “A Treasure”. So by default, one would assume that that these two stories would be completely different. However, it ends up being quite the opposite. The two stories are so remarkably alike that it is almost staggering. However, it may not just be simple similarities that make the two so alike. The main reasons why the two characters are so alike are not so much the actions that they take, as oppose to the overall human emotional aspect of the two pieces of work. For example, we see that both Odysseus and Ulysses are invested in their lives with their families, and as such, they never have a moment where they stop thinking about the lives they used to live. Both characters are extremely alike in terms of thoughts, skills, and experiences. They are both profound tacticians, as well as being rather strong and good looking men. So in the end, both of these men have plenty in common on the emotional and psychological levels.

  • The Giver Should Not Be Censored

    1121 Words  | 3 Pages

    Parents in modern society routinely attempt to shield their children from what they view as evils of the world. Adults censor television they watch, conversations they have, and books they read. In so doing, parents feel that they are guarding their children from knowledge that they may not be emotionally capable of handling. However, it also is imperative in the highly competitive atmosphere of modern society for youth to become prepared for the pressures of adulthood. Ironically, the dangerous knowledge parents believe they are hiding from their children inevitably is learned through exposure. In the domain of literature, a parent may feel that a particular book attracts attention to inappropriate or taboo issues, neglecting the positive aspects of that same work. This is the situation that has developed with Lois Lowry's The Giver, a book opposed by parents across the nation. Throughout the novel, despite challenges that have emerged based in her use of euphemistic expressions for euthanasia within a utopian society, the author nonetheless demonstrates the importance of experiential learning and the valuable lessons to be learned by working through the negative aspects of life.

  • Imagination in Narnis and Neverland

    1898 Words  | 4 Pages

    There is always one aspect of life that is essential in a person. It is established in childhood; imagination. Children have the privilege of being young enough for a certain amount of time to not let any responsibilities hinder them from learning and experiencing the world in new ways. In literature, the best way to showcase a child’s imagination is through a world entirely different from their own. Two of the most prominent fantasy worlds in children’s literature are; Narnia and Neverland. These worlds are important for they do not classify children as beings lesser than others. Instead, children are glorified and treated as equals in the different worlds. In C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, four siblings travel into a wardrobe and are transported to a magical realm, known as Narnia, where they discover that they must help bring the fantastical realm out of its eternal winter. In J.M. Barrie’s Peter and Wendy, the story of Wendy Darling and her brothers John and Michael is explored as a young boy who never grows up takes them to Neverland; an island where the only inhabitants are pirates and the Lost Boys. In both of these stories, there is one element in both that makes these otherwise entertaining tales into inspiring coming of age stories. This element is in the importance of the role of the absent parent. Both Lewis and Barrie eliminate the security of the parents, making the children fend for themselves in a new, strange world. These worlds are able to be fully explored as children enter them, their open minds bringing about new ideas that an adult could never even dream of. The idea of growing up is identical with the idea of cutting ties with your parents and becoming your own person. Therefore, in order ...

    In book eight of Homer’s The Odyssey, Odysseus is on the island of the Phaeacians and is waiting to return home to Ithaca. Meanwhile, Alcinous, the Phaeacian king, has arranged for a feast and celebration of games in honor of Odysseus, who has not yet revealed his true identity. During the feast, a blind bard named Demodocus sings about the quarrel between Odysseus and Achilles at Troy. The song causes Odysseus to start weeping, so Alcinous ends the feast and orders the games to begin. During dinner after the games, Odysseus asks Demodocus to sing about the Trojan horse and the sack of Troy. This song too causes Odysseus to break down and cry. Homer uses a dramatic simile to describe the pain and sorrow that Odysseus feels as he recalls the story of Troy.

  • The Importance Of Fairytales And Children's Literature

    1077 Words  | 3 Pages

    One of the larger reasons that classic literature skews a child’s social growth is that classic literature displays questionable ethics and moral grey areas that are unacceptable today. Children learn by mimicry, when they read or hear stories from the more gruesome classic literature they begin to think that such behavior is okay, and even a good idea (Smith 1). Many instances of classic children’s literature favor certain characters who are horrible role models. These characters often partake in risky dangerous behavior and journeys. Often times these characters are favored because they sneaky, scheming, selfish, or simply lucky (Hyde 1). Classic fairytales and children’s literature had its very own brand of vigilante justice and loved the idea that if you were sneaky enough, the world belonged to you (Hyde 2). Take, for instance, Jack and the Beanstalk, the tale is literally about a boy who goes into someone’s home, steals all of their perilous things, escapes without punishment, kills the person he stole from, and is proclaimed a hero. Now, was the person he stole from

  • The Importance of Wordless Picture Books

    2040 Words  | 5 Pages

    Children’s pictures books are a staple in every young person’s life, from Dr. Seuss to Maurice Sendak. They shape thoughts, values, provide life lessons, and open them to cultures and experiences they may never get a change to be a part of. Many times, the story has been passed down orally for centuries, before being put to paper. They connect generations to each other. And they manage to do all of this through all entertaining characters and vibrant colors. Their words encourage development in learning, and their stories stimulate the imagination. However, in recent decades a new category of books has emerged on the market: wordless picture books. These have become a growing trend in today’s society. There is debate amongst scholars, teachers, and parents as to whether or not these books stimulate imagination, language skills, and literacy skills, as much as a book with words would. Wordless children’s books are beneficial to today’s children, and can provide unique insight into the way their imagination works, and a look into their developmental processes.

  • Compare And Contrast The Iliad And The Odyssey

    1039 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the book the Iliad, The Odyssey, and Works and days, there are many things that can be similar when talking about Greek heroes and the world of Greek poetry. The stories and topics are describing similar events during this time of the eighth and seventh century B.C. In the end, however, they do have some differences in some parts when describing or explaining certain situations and ideas. The world of Greek heroes is written like a story; or Epic Poetry. That is what The Iliad and The Odyssey are; Epic Poetries. They are telling a story of a great hero and their adventures.

  • Golden Age Children

    939 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Golden Age of children’s literature spanned from the mid 19th century to the early 20th century. Peter Hunt, the author of An Introduction to Children’s Literature, believes that the authors of this time period shared a common motive. “I’m not going to patronize or educate children…”(Hunt 0:32) Hunt states as though he were a writer from this era. The Golden Age amplified the importance of adults cherishing and celebrating children, instead of mocking or talking down to them. Young characters within these novels are often described as “childish,” meaning they are immature, juvenile, silly, inane, foolish, or irresponsible (Google). Yet, it is often the adult characters in children’s novels that exhibit these traits. Many readers perceive child characters as inferior to the adults, but it is often the adults who act childlike and the children that face them with maturity and knowledge. Analysis of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Peter and Wendy, and Treasure Island reveals the hidden adornment of children that exists in Golden Age children’s literature.

  • A Timeline of Children's Literature

    Literature has been part of society since pen met paper. It has recorded history, retold fables, and entertained adults for centuries. Literature intended for children, however, is a recent development. Though children’s literature is young, the texts can be separated into two categories by age. The exact splitting point is debatable, but as technology revolutionized in the mid-twentieth century is the dividing point between classic and contemporary. Today’s children’s literature is extraordinarily different from the classics that it evolved from, but yet as classic was transformed into modern, the literature kept many common features.

    Picture books can be seen as an easy read. It is something that needs to be easy in order for the children to understand the concepts, and be interested in listening to it. The ease of the picture book makes it difficult for people to look into the foundation of the book. There is a framework that someone might not see in the beginning of the story until they look into the bones of it. One of the most redeeming qualities is to “ensure..your story depth resonates with both the reader and the listener” (p. 23).
