LITERATURE
Hy Joe, so what are you planning to take for your College Studies? Asked Sam.
I was thinking of taking English Literature, answers Joe with humility and confidence.
What....? Are you kidding me? English Literature sucks men.
Joe raised his voice and said: Do you know what is English Literature? And also tell me what is Literature according to you?
Sam remained silent with his head downward.
Joe broke the silence by asking Sam, Do you know that Literature is not only about English?.
Upon hearing this, Sam changed the topic.
After a few months, the two friends met again and this time Sam appreciated Joe for his choice and gave Joe a surprise:
Hy Joe, once I heard my teacher taking a workshop on Literature and I understood everything. Do you know what Derek Walcott said about Literature?
He said: "The English language is nobody's special property. It is the property of Imagination. It is the Property of the Language itself".
Yes, English Literature is a thousand year's old and continues to be one of the most popular courses studied in education. Said Sam.
Exactly said Joe, you know even Literature reflects the life of the society because the writers write from their own experiences and the readers feel that they are one with them.
Literature is a way of enlightening the mind, ennobling the soul, and holding the character. Elaborate Sam
Joe goes on further by saying that, the study of Literature whether English or any language for that matter does not mean blind adherence to the culture of the other, but is a way of keeping in touch with the round progress taking place on the planet. sharing our ideas, thoughts and reflections for a better living in the Society.
