Literature is a very broad judgmental word. It can consist of so many different aspects and views that it all depends on how you take in the aspect of literature that will prompt you to judging the definite ability to describe Literature. In order to broaden the idea of literature we have to understand it before we can give an accounted response to it. Reading literature offers a way to listen to the voice of the author in past years. We will respond to literature depending on our own personal perspectives and our own personal experiences on the topic or thesis of this piece of literature. There are various way we can respond to literature by assuring the differences between the works. It is not as simple as reading literature and right after that, write an entire analyzed essay of the story. It will take time, questions, quotes, important information and several facts, or even some research. It does not matter how long or how simple literature is. It matters how a person gives their personal perspective and then respond to that piece of literature. Some ways to respond to literature is by reading the work out loud, by trying to make a connection between the title and the body, do a quick write about the work and read it to yourself trying to explain what you are trying to write. You can also keep a journal where you consist it of asking questions, establishing a work thesis, gathering information, and organizing the information to put together and have a good response.
As a result of critical analyzing, our lives can make a drastically big change in the way we read and respond to literature. We can simply read a section of literature and have a basic understanding to it. Of course we can also take some time to analyze the work and come up with certain ideas and questions that we did not have prior to analyzing the literature. By critically analyzing a work we focus on what the author of such literature is trying to throw across. We can also read between the lines and express intentional responses to what the author is not writing but what the author is actually telling us. The focus of the literature is what is not what is written, but what is observed by the writer. Everyone can analyze the work a different way, and yet come up with the attitude of controlling the static response of the entire literature in whole thesis.
In short we can have and ease the analyzing process of literature by combining the readings and the logic attitudes of our responses. We can share the relationship that causes us to understand the writing better than what is written, regardless if it is a very short piece of literature or if it is a very large amount of literature. The point to becoming a very good analyzer or a very good writer in literature we need to have our minds thinking critically when we are reading a piece of literature.

I found your blog to be quite interesting. I think that it is very true that we have to have an understanding of literature before we can respond to it. I think any type of response that one may try to give on a piece of literature that they have read, without taking the time to fully understand it, will be shallow to say the least. I think that you are right in saying that our responses to literature are based on our own perspectives and personal experiences on the topic. I believe that we often have our own preconceived ideas on topics, and I don’t believe that that is necessarily a bad or negative thing. For it’s a good thing to be able to formulate our own ideas and opinions on things.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree with you when you said that understanding literature takes time. Indeed it does, it takes a great deal of time if a person wants to analyze the piece of literature thoroughly. I like your idea about keeping a journal in order to take notes and ask questions. I think that it will help to make a well thought out response. That is something that I just might put into practice.
