Imagine if next year there is a restructuring going on and as a result, literature courses are no longer required for high school or college students. Do you think because of little exposure to literary works- the next generation might be different? There may be several views on this matter. Some adults may agree; on the other hand, some teenagers might disagree.
In my personal opinion, i think the next generation will definitely be different with little exposure to literary works. Every literary work has a meaning behind it; every work has a moral within a story that teaches you something important. If the next generation receives little or no literary information, it will be harder for them to understand any literature, grammar, and also it will make it harder for them to read and write properly. You cannot write without reading and vice versa.
Literature is a piece of art that is as important as our lives. If there was no literature, there would be no structure or any sort of function in schools or colleges. As well as that, there would be no grammar in any kind of writing. For example, people in this new generation don't even spell out words when they are emailing each other or "texting" especially. Mostly the new generation prefer to use "w.e" instead of writing the word "whatever." Keeping this in mind, we can imagine how the new generation will be effected without the use of grammar or more specifically without literature. More importantly, there will be no positive consequences if the students are not exposed to literary works; their will only be negative effects.
The students will have no knowledge of grammar or any kind of writing. As said by Kristina Smith, in an article, "literature helps us around many things. For instance in critical thinking, grammar, and understanding other people's point of views." Without these, even if the new generation has all kinds of personal enjoyments- they will not have the knowledge to understand any past experiences or any kind of history from the past as we do today. Having little exposure to literary works these will all be the negative effects on the new generation. Also, they will not be able to enjoy their reading and without reading, they will not have a good access to writing skills.
Literature is important in several views. For example, reading increases our knowledge about the world and enriches and opens our mind to new things. With literature, you open your world to new imagination. We can imagine things that we can't really imagine in our real lives. Sometimes we even end up meeting a character in a book that is similar to us that gives us ideas about things in life. Furthermore, literature helps us understand how others feel, what they think, and understand their views, culture, and traditions. Without literature, the new generation would lack sense of knowledge, lack of imagination, and lack of understanding other people's views.
Some students might elect these courses because they actually have a passion for literature and are interested to study the past traditions, and cultures, and their stories. On the other hand, some students might take literary courses because either they don't like writing or reading, or just because of the simple fact that they don't care and just don't want to take it. Some take it to just fulfill their elective requirement. In all, they wouldn't gain any experiences from dong this because they will have lack of knowledge, and grammar skills. Literature is an important part of our lives, and good to enhance our knowledge about our past, present, and future!
