How can we let make people appreciate literature especially poetry?
Q. Literature has often been taken for granted by other people. Although other subjects such as math, science, etc. are considered as the harder subjects, literature has been often ignored and, at times, resented by people rather than appreciating it for its unique artistic view.

A. You cannot "make" people appreciate something just because you do. They will either like it or not. As long as you enjoy it...then it should not bother you what other people choose to appreciate. Not everyone likes opera, or theater...but for those who do...they go and enjoy

Asked by KatieT - Sun Aug 31 17:47:00 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Tricky one. I can only give my opinion really... To me, literature has to have a well developed and sophistocated style of prose for a start (but this doesn't mean arty flowery language, and actually I hate writing like that). The narration has a distinct voice, it can evoke strong ideas and emotions from very few words, and address issues in ways you don't expect. It combines good narrative with strong realistic characters and dialogue. They often address issues in unique and profound ways, they can have social or cultural significance. Although I'll admit, some books which are considered to be 'literature' from the academic view point, can also be dull and not everyone's cup of tea. Many, many books do have this. Many others don't.… [cont.]

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.
