The importance of Literature

The Importance of Literature

            Literature is taught for a reason. All subjects are taught for a reason. But we wonder, why? What makes them significant? Reading, writing, and comprehending are all common themes found throughout English.

            Although correcting grammar or using more advanced vocabulary may seem annoying or useless. However, you benefit from it. Whether filling out an application, or writing an admittance paper for college these are skills you must have. I personally enjoy English class, it has always interested me. I am not particularly a fan or reading but I love to write. Poems, papers, essays, and poetry are all things I love to do. At one point in time I was very poor at writing, in fact I didn’t know how to use simple punctuation or even space my words correctly but as you grow you learn and acquire more skills.

            These skills are not “busy work” that you will never use again. They actually are very significant. If you see yourself with a job in the future, then most likely you will need to know how to use English skills. From a author, to a poet, to even a lawyer, writing and grammar are used.

            Some people who have access to a proper education don’t take the time to appreciate the information they have at their fingertips. We need to take advantage of the fact that we can read and write. There are much less fortunate people in this world that sadly, do not have a good education. They don’t have advanced vocab or writing technique, therefore it is unlikely they will attend college.

            North Broward is apart of the Meritas school organization. I have personally had the pleasure to go to Orlando and meet different students from all around the world. I in fact became friends with some and learned about the differences in our school and learning techniques. I think communicating with other students in different places helps you realize what you have available to you so you can truly try your hardest to pursuit a bright and successful future.

            Whether you are writing a blog post for a homework assignment or writing a 100 page paper, try to remember that we should be thankful for the opportunity rather then worrying about the little things that don’t matter.
