deem essential to put across to their readers. Francine Prose‚ the author of the excerpt I Know Why the Caged Bird Cannot Read‚ is just by being skeptical of using literary works to teach values because of the way many English classes target the values of the author rather than the literary work itself. By using the two examples of the novels Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck‚ Prose expands her argument by proving to the reader that many English teachers focus on

which conveys information that has a clear use (such as a cookbook)‚ and literature of power which is more abstract‚ and enriches the reader in more intangible ways. In its simplest form‚ literature is a term used to describe written or spoken material. However‚ after exploring the ideas and works of authors such as Thomas de Quincey‚ Vladimir Nabokov‚ and Francine Prose‚ I have come to a conclusion that literature is definitely more than that. It must be. Reading their great works gives us a vivid image

In Franz Kafka’s "A Hunger Artist‚" the author speaks about his method of writing; his affliction that mirrors that of a person who fasts. Throughout his prose‚ he tells the story of a man who-- while others in his time flaunt their skills in living and in cheating death-- has mastered the art of dying. In his own time‚ Kafka was never famous for his writing. In 1922‚ around the time he retired from a Czechoslovakia insurance company for which he was a lawyer‚ he wrote "A Hunger Artist." He had

Dickinson’s “I Dwell in Possibility” she speaks of a “house” which is “fairer” than “prose”. Prose by definition is writing that is not poetry. “I dwell in Possibility- A fairer House than Prose” (Dickinson 879). What Dickinson is saying is that the possibilities she deals in i.e. Poetry‚ anything is possible‚ and poetry can be taken as anything. Without the writer comes out and says exactly what it is about the reader can draw any conclusion‚ in poetry nothing is set in stone. Whereas with a story written

Torstenson (2006) stated this then becomes the crucial irony and driving force of the story‚ and the possible for either participant to know the other objectively becomes impossible as Diaz instructs the reader to go through subjective disguises onto his interactions‚ masking his history‚ social status‚ and even racial

The Modern Mind is a very compelling‚ complex and versatile subject to the world around us and our cultures. It offers so much insight into how it shaped the Humanities. The most well-known man for contributing to the importance of the modern mind is Sigmund Freud (1856-1939). Freud was known for his theories of psychoanalysis and his study of the unconscious mind. Freud “theorized that human consciousness was in a constant struggle with repressed‚ unconscious desires”. One of the ways Freud was

asked to read more quality pieces of literature now a days. In my opinion I agree with Prose because I think the texts we read in high school are not challenging and not a lot of students enjoy the readings because they cannot relate. Prose uses the rhetorical strategy of degrading the books high school students are reading and she uses her own personal experiences to support her argument. Throughout the essay‚ Prose argues that literatures in high schools are dumbing down the English curriculum. She
