Sociological Approach to Literature Sociological Approach to Literature The study of literature within the discipline of sociology, integrates a concern for meaning and the unique properties inherent in literary texts, reflecting the economics, attitudes, morals and religion of the society that produced the texts.1Each society inter–connected and independent, yet distinct and diverse is influenced by the literature, for there are innumerable instances exemplifying the co– relation of life and literature. The impact of literature is influential on man's behavior and outlook, moreover, governing the minds of the populace, as proved in the realms of the history, either reinforcing the social system or invalidating it.2From the reserves of the product of a creative and selective ...show more content... If a person is worthy, then he is deserving of that good. If a person is unworthy, then you are one who does good regardless."13 The message of literature, elucidating the mark of greatest value of human being is humanism, embodied with the intellect which overshadows instinct, to differentiate purified from the contaminated, limiting the access to the beneficial over the hazardous matter. A society build around the technology has covered the grounds of diplomacy, granting in return freedom and equality, which has been claimed and modified, without taking any effect, for inequality of recognition, respect, love, care and solidarity are found in the recent years14, whereas, this piece of advice deals with the equality on the main scale, which in turn envelopes the social structure with the fabric of love. Thus, the individual attains the best diversion from tension, anxiety, worries and fear for masses towards achieving a sense of relief and freedom, moving forward to the goal of perfection and liberation, which is rightly divulged by the culture of Dawoodi Bohras, as acknowledged by Mathew Arnold15: 'Harmonious human perfection can be achieved only by culture, since culture is nothing but the love for the study of Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

The Study of Literature Essay The Study of Literature I finally understand the study of literature. As an English major, a reader/ writer/ poet who has spent a great deal of time reading the works of others and writing about them, I am reminded of something I have heard my father, a teacher, say repeatedly about the modern American attitude toward education. " Nobody learns just to learn," he observes sadly, pointing out the way in which students often view particularly higher education as some kind of training ground for a career. I know exactly what he means. Every time someone asks me what I plan to do with a degree in English, I am reminded of the inquisitive student who interrupts a classroom lecture to ask in earnest "Is this going to be on the test?" ...show more content... If others train for careers, learning practical skills with "real world" implications, then the Humanities student simply learns about being human . He attempts to recognize universal experience and reflect it in art. As ambitious as that may sound, I find my pursuit of English studies to be quite useful in my own life. Let me explain. One year ago, my wife and I separated. When she left, she took with her (according to mutual agreement) all of the furniture and household amenities, leaving me with only the barest essentials. For several weeks afterward, I returned home to my modest quarters that contained no more than a mattress, my work desk and my books, and one small stand on which to place a stereo. I must confess that in the near month before my parents rescued me, supplying me with a dispossessed sofa, love seat, and T.V. (What do you mean you don't have a television?), I accomplished much more in my work and studies than ever before. I came to realize in that period the true definition of necessity. Though my wife had retained the comforts of modern living that one gets used to, I found I could still satisfy my basic human needs within the five empty rooms of my apartment. I was reminded of my reading of Thoreau's Walden, and his experimental living in the woods that invited the criticism and skepticism of many of his contemporaries. Inspired, I Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Literature in Life Essay Literature in Life Literature is the expressed influence of communities and the individuals in societies. Literature spans culture, beliefs, and attributes the necessary component for corroborating how literature reflects, and portrays communities. The language from literature helps gives culture explanation of live in different society. Literature that is defined by the culture aspect, gives details about such fascinating and affluent information or context. Certain works, and words used in literature can help the reader understand and describe the sense of the community being read in the story. In addition, it is not uncommon for people to write about an imaginary community that is based from their own community. Community ...show more content... Another example of how a community can affect an author's writing is illustrated in William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" (DiYanni, 2007, p. 79–84). The story takes place in the South after the Civil War. Faulkner's writing is extremely eloquent and deliberate. The time period also comes out through the language in his writing referring to African–Americans as Negros and to Northerners as Yankees. It soon becomes obvious that Faulkner must have been raised in the same time and place this story takes place. Communities do not only affect the language of the author but they also can provide the community of the author's work. Some communities act like an extended family and an author may want to show that aspect. Sometimes an author may wish to write about a close–knit community that knows everyone else's business. Often a writer will write about their community, illustrating certain cultural aspects that they hold dear. All of these can be examples of the writer's community coming to life in their own stories. In "A Rose for Emily," (DiYanni, 2007, p. 79–84) Faulkner shows us a community that is very involved with each other. They are constantly talking about what Miss Emily does, what she says, and whom she sees. The author speaks for the Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Sample Literature Review Adolescent Eating Disorders and Attachment Araceli Hogg & Zeynep Cifci University of Houston Adolescent Eating Disorders and Attachment Eating Disorders (ED) negatively affect 25% of adolescents. It is a disorder that compiles abnormal eating habits that includes either excessive or insufficient food intake. These abnormal eating habits can definitely affect the individual's physical and mental health. Different factors are presume to be correlated with eating disorders in adolescents.

Regarding seeking proximity, half of the group with eating disorders claimed that since the disorder was identified, they developed a closer relationship with their mothers. The findings proposed that the disorder served as a mean to obtain closeness in order to satisfy the mothering hunger for the emotionally unsatisfied adolescent (Orzolek–Kronner, 2002). One limitation to this study is the reliability of self–present measures reported by adolescents. Another limitation is that this study focuses only on females and their relationships with their mothers. Next, the topic of attachment in relation to eating disorders is projected using ex post facto study method, which refers to something occurs after the fact. In the research article by Cunha, Relvas and Soares (2009), the differences of family perceptions related to eating disorders are inspected. The main focus was to distinguish detected family characteristics between females with anorexia nervosa and females with no eating pathology.

Example Of Feminist Literary Criticism Feminism Literary Criticism Feminist Literary Criticism, also known as Feminist Criticism, was developed from the social movement feminism. They seeks to analyze and describe the ways in which literature portrays the narrative of male domination by exploring the economic, social, political, and psychological forces embedded within literature. This way of thinking and criticizing works can be said to have changed the way literary texts are viewed and studied, as well as changing the canon of what is taught This essay will discuss the main methods and types of feminist literary criticism, where this school of criticism originated from, and how it has changed and developed over time. Feminism , feminist theory , and feminist politics is the viewpoint which this group of literary critics analyze literature. While reading through literature, Feminist Literary Critics examine how literature represents the male figures differently from the women figures and how language institutions have reflected patriarchy interest. In Linda Napikoski article Feminist Literary Criticism, she discusses that, "A feminist literary critic resists traditional assumptions while reading a text. In addition to challenging assumptions which were thought to be universal, feminist literary criticism actively supports including women's knowledge in literature and valuing women's experiences. Feminist literary criticism assumes that literature both reflects and shapes stereotypes and other cultural Get more content on StudyHub.Vip
Empathy Through Literature Younger generations aren't feeling as empathetic as older generations and this will lead to a dangerous society. Empathy is the ability to understand and share feelings. Teaching empathy at a young age will allow one another to accept and communicate with each other. It is also a necessity skill in life that helps each other to recognize one's emotions. According to the article, This is How Literary Fiction Teaches us to Be Human by Tom Blunt, he emphasizes empathy can be taught through literary fiction and it is vital that young children feel empathy toward each other. Literature teaches kids to feel empathetic for each other. A story allows the reader to put themselves in the character's shoes and gives us a different perspective on the character's life. It also shows the reader not to judge someone by their cover because you never know what outside factors are affecting them. For example, Daphne's book is about a shy girl named Daphne, commonly known to others as Daffy Duck. She was raised by an impoverished, mentally ill grandmother, so the other kids would make fun of her. Instead of sympathizing with her, kids pitied her and called her names. "These are the experiences for a young person in which the sort of commonplace ...show more content... In her book, readers see the bully in the character's own eyes. Blunt says, "Viewing events from someone else's perspective, following along as they suffer, make mistakes, and are forced into hard decisions that affect others is the core of teaching empathy" (Blunt 3). From reading these books, readers can understand some of the reasons why a person acts a certain way. These books also urge readers to appreciate others and their own life. This appreciation will lead to better society because children will volunteer in the community and respect each others opinions, since each story allows children to interpret different empathetic Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

The Meaning Of World Literature World literature is not exactly something that can be defined in one sentence. It has been given multiple meanings by many different authors and people throughout the years. A very brief way to describe the meaning of world literature is literature that circulates elsewhere around the world rather than in its own origin or hometown. Some common examples of world literature are Moby Dick by Herman Melville, Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe , and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. World literature is important for today's students to read for a glimpse into the lifestyle of the author's portion and perspective of the world and to create realistic and factual mindsets of different parts of the world. Students in today's world should be exposed to world literature for a peek into the life and perspective surrounding area that the author or character is being exposed to. "When reading about civil war, the ability to share the fears and victories of the battlefield firsthand through a character's experiences there helps students to understand the internal and external conflicts he/she faces. When these experiences transcend time and geography to illustrate similar uncertainties, students see and experience these situations as if firsthand" (Breitman). Students who read world literature get a personal insight into the thought process of the author or main character who may be going through some tough times or is experiencing events or traditions that only occur in his/her Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

How I Learned To Become Literate Essay How I Learned To Become Literate As a six–month–old baby books had opened up a whole entire new world of experience for me. My inspiration to learn how to read and write was encouraged by my Mother and Grandmother. This is because they read out loud to me before bed occasionally and gave me the best time of my life by introducing me to a library. By two years of age I developed speech and other communication skills . This helped me understand and develop a favorite book, "PJ Funny Bunny ," and I would stare at the pages pretending I was reading them. I would continually pretend to read with other Dr. Seuss books, Smurf pop–up books (I imagined I was a part of these for hours), sniff & scratches, and sensory books. I had just begun ...show more content... Overtime this helped to enhance my imagination for reading. Another thing our teacher did was present us with books as Christmas gifts. I remember my book was called "A Mouse House." Inside she wrote that I was an excellent reader and said if we all came back over the holidays being able to read our books we could read anything we wanted. I believed her and practiced my book throughout winter break. She had given me hope for learning. During my Kindergarten years most of my encouragement continued by making up my own short stories with illustrations. Stories I wrote, like the "Oddor Beast" (1) and "The Witch And Too Two Many" (2), helped increase my imagination and made me feel as though I was a really great author. When my report card (3) came around and a "VG" for Very Good was in the Reading box I would get excited to read more. Throughout the beginning of my Elementary school years we were taught literacy by writing creative stories with illustrations. In my story, "The Girl Who Had The Magic Finger" (4) you can see that I was not great at spelling and completing sentences. I also noticed my tendency to complete things in a big hurry and end sentences with phrases like, "And that's the end of that." I continued to learn by putting together little books like, "Little People Book (5)." These type of books aloud me to read the stories and comprehend what I've read because they were followed by short questions at the end. By First Grade, I was Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Defining Literature Essay The definition of literature has been discussed and argued over time and there is no precise answer to be given. Any reader or author can define literature as whatever they wish it to be defined as. This is more of an opinion of how one views certain pieces of work or writings and whether or not they feel that is actually literature or not. Literature is any type of creative writing such as fiction or poetry, for example. Literature is also any form of body of written works of language, which could be from the English era or even as far back as the Shakespearean or Elizabethan era. It is also work from a specific period or culture defining key elements or somehow relating to and/or expressing how it is exactly from that time. The ...show more content... In her poem, "Dylan" in lines 4 and 5, she writes, "Her hair was a halo of warm light / and color dripped off her tongue" (23). The reader can interpret just from those two lines the creativity and imagination not only in that one poem, but also in all poetry. The description of hair being a halo of warm light allows the reader to use his or her own imagination to perceive that image in whichever way they would like. Creative writing can be determined by many other things not only image or structure of how the poem is set into stanzas, but what is left up to the reader for interpretation. Jewel writes in "Cautious" in lines 23–29, "an open vessel / whose function it was / to be filled / until my consciousness / could return and / spit out / the bad seeds" (18). After reading these lines the reader can be left with different feelings and emotions that vary from disgust or simplicity. This is just another example of how poetry is creative writing. According to the American Heritage Dictionary, literature is defined as being the body of written works of a language, period, or culture. An author of any specific type of writing or works can include certain details pertaining to language or other details, which allow the reader to develop a sensory image of that specific period or culture. If the reader had no prior knowledge to the language, period, or culture of the writing he or she would be reading, upon reading and analyzing Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

What Is Literature Essay Charmine J. Cramales BS Math II Lit 3 10:30 – 12:00 What is Literature? Poems, novels, and stories; these are some of the things that first came to my mind upon pondering on the question 'What is Literature?'. And just lately I have known that literature also includes songs, speeches, plays, and many others in written and spoken forms. I have also known that things that are produced out of creative imagination can be referred as literary works which are the ones that comprise literature. Considering this description of what literature is, the coverage of literature seems very puzzling. If literary works are those produced out of creative imagining, then it would directly point to fictional works. But then, there are also ...show more content... Take for example the views of two individuals coming from different places on a novel based on the culture of one. It would likely be the same if their culture and beliefs are quiet related but if not, then they would surely have different understandings on certain parts of that novel. Hence, defining literature as those considered by people as 'literature' is questionable. Eagleton also associated literature as any kind of works which are valued highly by people. But then again, since people may have different perceptions on things, one may value highly a certain work while another person may consider it just as a plain writing. As stated by Ms. Pinzon, a literature professor, a personal letter can be an example of this. The recipient of the letter can be expected to really value the letter while her classmate may not. Hence, this can't define literature as a whole. Then, what really is literature? Many great critics have tried formulating a fixed definition of literature but have failed to do so. In the rise of every possible definition of what literature is, counter arguments also rise. Literature, though it seems impossible to enumerate everything it covers, play an important role in every individual's life. One can influence using literature or be influenced by it. Examples of these are the novels made by our very own national hero, Jose Rizal – the Noli Me Tangeri and El Filibusterismo. During his time, Rizal has Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

literature Essay examples LITERATURE I. FICTION A. What fiction is Fiction (from the Latin fictio, "a shaping, a counterfeiting") is a name for stories not entirely factual, but at least partially shaped, made up, imagined. It is true that in some fiction, such as historical novel, a writer draws upon factual information in presenting scenes, events, and characters. But the factual information in a historical novel, unlike that in a history book, is of secondary importance. Fiction as we know it today is considered to be a relatively new genre compared to poetry and drama. The tradition of fiction started with myth and legend and allegory. But the fictional characters in these imaginary worlds were mostly one– dimensional abstractions, personified as Love, ...show more content... Plot Plot is the arrangement of events in a story, or the structure of the action. The action in a plot is usually progressive because one force acts upon another. Plot begins with an exposition: the opening portion that sets the scene (if any), introduces the main characters, tells us what happened before the story opened, and provides any other background information that we need in order to understand and care about the events to follow. D. The short story In a short story, a form more realistic than the tale and of modern origin, the writer usually presents the main events in greater fullness. A short story is more than just a sequence of happenings. Some literary short stories, unlike commercial fiction in which the main interest is in physical action or conflict, tell of an epiphany: some moment of insight, discovery, or revelation by which a character's life, or view of life, is greatly altered. Other short stories tell of a character initiated into experience or maturity. The fable and the tale are ancient forms; the short story is of more recent origin. E. Point of view A critical issue in any short story is its point of view. The importance of point of view may easily be overlooked, but the choice of the narrator influences the total structure of the story. There are basically three points of view: Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Essay On Importance Of Literature The importance of literature on today's society In a rapidly developing world, the definition of literature goes beyond what the readers see and perceive. It provides a platform for us to open our minds to ambiguities of meaning, while exploring what the world really has to offer through other cultures and beliefs. Most importantly, literature has taught me to support my own point of view and trust my instincts and interpretations. The boundaries of literature are endless and holds no limit to race, religion, culture , and sexuality. With an infinite amount of advantages, I believe literature is an integral component of our everyday lives as it redefines text beyond the literal meaning, thus allowing us to connect with human emotions and surpassing self–defining barriers. As an avid reader and enthusiastic writer, I have grown to learn that interpretation goes far beyond literal terms. The article "Why Study Literature", emphasizes the importance of literature in our education system and everyday life. Michael Meyer's states that "[w]hile people will say what they mean and mean what they say, [...] language in our world is [...] maddeningly and delightfully ambiguous" ("Why Literature" 1). Literature acts as a medium of developing critical thinking skills, leading to independent learners and readers. If we limit a reader's interpretation of text, it restricts creativity and the idea of being open to multiple analyses. An example of when this technique was applied was in my Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

18th Century Literature Essay 18th Century Literature The 18th century is a period of great literary works. The styles are different throughout the period, but the unity of the work is still present. Much of this period focused on public and general themes, until the Pre– Romantic era when literary works began to focus upon personal expression. 18th century literature can be broken down into three main parts: the Restoration, the Age of Pope, and Pre–Romantics. The literature of the Restoration period covers a time span from Charles's recovery of the throne to the years until the expulsion of James II in 1688 or until the death of John Dryden in 1700. The literature of the Restoration was characterized by ...show more content... This literary time period also included works from John Dryden, who used elegance and cleverness in his writings. This period ended about 1700, and enabled a new age of literature. In literary history, the first half of the 18th century is known as the Age of the Pope. In this age, the writers expressed views of the public and restrained from writing personal topics or expressions. In the Age of the Pope or the Neoclassical Age, most of the literary themes were of social, political, and moral life. The Rape of the Lock and Epigrams by Alexander Pope, and "A Modest Proposal" and Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift are some examples from the Age of Pope or the Neoclassical age. Most of the literary works in this period used satirical styles to express a concern in society. "Puffs, powders, patches, Bibles, billet–doux", from The Rape of the Lock shows an example of pathos a satirical device used in this age of literature. Jonathan Swift also uses satire in Gulliver's Travels to mock the Parliament, and in "Modest Proposal" he writes about eating children as a solution to a socioeconomic problem. After the writings, literature began to focus on private expressions rather than public thoughts and emotions. The Age of Johnson or the Pre– romantic era was shown in various ways. Characteristics of the age included ballads, a new taste for ruins, Gothic castles Get more content on StudyHub.Vip
