Now it has just shrunk more. To accommodate these new standards, teachers will be able to give only samplings of novels or plays as texts to be dissected which is one way to learn The rare full book that a student will read will be selected how? I taught high school literature and found it a constant battle with time to give the students a real education in literature.
And now, if I understand the new standards, literature will not be linked to any period of history, will not fall into a broader arc of ideas being shaped and formed in a culture in a certain place at a certain time.
10 Examples of Feminine Courage from Women in the Bible
Children will be writing more and reading their own writing instead of great writing , which on the surface looks good, but historically does not make better writers. Children have been writing more in school than ever before and their writing is getting worse. It is not that I do not think that our children should not be reading good writing wherever it is found.
Good non-fiction writing is important. My concern is that we are reducing our educational theory to a utilitarian perspective, teaching to the tests, the jobs, and the statistics.
We are making a work force. We are not making persons. This brings me once again to my tired tirade that defends literature, especially fiction. Good literature is a true teacher. Through it we meet people of such different places, persuasions, life situations, and time periods than we could ever meet in one lifetime. We are exposed to the incarnation of all the vices and the virtues, and our imaginations take on living forms of what it means to be good, forgiving, loving in the face of hatred, faithful against all odds or, on the other hand, miserly, despairing, trapped in secrets.
We gain empathy and also a capacity to imagine something that is not, so that we can work toward change. We can capture through picture and story the human heart in ways it cannot be otherwise understood so that it sheds light on the intricate movements of our own souls.
“Cause You Can’t Stop the Hustle”: Liz Murray’s Bronx Success Story – The Literary Bronx
A people bereft of literature is a people that does not know itself or how it fits into the story of the whole world. It is through reading Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert and Too Late the Phalarope by Alan Paton that I grasped the trap of adultery and how the human heart falls into its own holes, and I became better equipped to pray for those who grieve their own sexual falls. It is through Lord of the Rings that I populated and Christianized my imagination with images of true community, faithfulness in the small difficult tasks that leads to true heroism, the immediacy of the battle against good, the corruption that comes from imagining oneself the lonely savior, the ultimate victory of hope, and on and on.
Even as I list those things they sound lofty and instructive but not alive like they are when encountered in the characters of the book. After reading for years, we begin to identify archetypes models or patterns , repeated themes, and the world begins to form a network of connections across time and space.
Paz en su tumba. Michael Emmanuel December 6, at pm He was an extra-ordinary man with an ordinary touch,the world is very poor in his absence ,He was a man of the principles,a life well live dedicated to the cause of humanity as an African i yearn for the day we will have another Mandela but the truth is we will never ever have one ,as there is no one like him and the best we can do to honour him is to live like he did and hold strongly his values of compassion,love and forgiveness.
Mandela is the world icon and i will greatly miss him,as a foreign national residing and working in South Africa i owe all the successes that i have here to Nelson Mandela for without him South Africa would not have been kinder to allow me and my folks to reside here when we had problems in Zimbabwe,it is through his compassion that the spirit of ubuntu prevailed and we were welcomed.
From a small white girl in America…you saved my life by saving those of so many. Bernadette Derry December 6, at pm Such a wonderful man.

Helen Lawrance December 7, at am Nelson Mandela you were one of my biggest heroes when I was a child, and you still are. I remember hearing of your struggles in the news and from my parents, and then I went to study more about it at Birmingham University where I did African Studies. I remember these studies turned my brain inside out and a great truth was revealed to me. I discovered what colonialism really meant, what its legacy was. I learnt more about how white people were able to view black people as savages. You were a mighty beacon of hope. You worked tirelessly and have showed no bitterness.
You did not get tempted by corruption. Thank you forever for what you have done on this Earth. I am very sad to hear of your passing and wish you an eternal, peaceful rest. With love! Karenne December 7, at am Our world is a far better place because of Nelson Mandela. A man of great character.
His love for his nation and his forgiveness is inspirational. Natalie December 7, at am We have lost our hero, our teacher, our leader, our mentor, our father of our rainbow nation. An angel sent to remind us of what love, courage, justice and democracy stands for.

Nelson Mandela has been my personal hero and I have applied his teachings to my life. I am truly sad that we no longer have him with us but it was time for him to join the rest of the angels in heaven. We, South Africans of all colour are his rainbow nation, we have to continue to walk in his footsteps and work together as a nation. We have to forget the past and become one team, working to better all equally and fairly.
We are all unique, have different skin colour and different cultures but we all want peace, respect, love and democracy.
