Language


    Literature can be like life because it reflects the human experience, with its joys and struggles, in a way that resonates with readers. It explores themes such as love, loss, friendship, and growth, mirroring the complexities and emotions we encounter in our own lives. Additionally, literature offers insights and perspectives that can broaden our understanding of the world, much like the way life itself presents us with opportunities to learn and grow. 

    Literature is supposed to entertain, educate, and inspire readers. It allows us to explore different perspectives, cultures, and emotions. Literature can also serve as a mirror to society, reflecting the human condition and offering valuable insights into the world around us. Ultimately, literature is meant to evoke emotions, provoke thought, and instigate a deeper understanding of ourselves and our world.

    The influences that drive a writer to create can vary greatly. It could be their personal experiences, emotions, observations, or even a desire to express themselves and communicate with others. External factors like literature, art, nature, or societal issues can also inspire a writer's creative process. Ultimately, the motivations behind a writer's creations are unique to each individual.

Week 12- Intro to Humanities Reflective Learning

  Sunday, November 12, 2023 Week 11- Intro to Humanities Performing Arts/Music Weekly Questions: Describe a LIVE event you attended. Was it more moving than what you would have experienced had you viewed the play at home or listened to the music in your car or on headphones? What else do you get at a live event that you don't get from recorded versions of the same performances? My First Concert     The first concert I ever attended was Taylor Swift with my dad. I think I was 10 or 11 at the time, and I can remember standing in the crowd feeling awestruck. How everyone in the crowd seemed to follow her every move was cool. My dad got the tickets last minute, which was a good thing, too, because we ended up in the front row, and I got to see Ed Sheeran too.
