blues lyrics and fairy tales are they Literature?
I think that blues lyrics and fairy tales are considered literature. They tell stories about periods in time with significant and insignificant events happen. Although lyrics and fairy tale may not be important or entertain everyone, they tell stories that teach us and tell us off others and there previous experiences. I think that the style that literature is written can determine its popularity. For instance work from Julius ceasar, although very popular in its time, now seems over written and hard to interrupt. This is mostly because of just how much our language and meanings change over time. At that time period that was considered the common language and was not considered strange to the readers.
The reading we did “Uncle Remus” by Joel Chandler Harris was somewhat confusing and left me trying to piece togeather what I just read. Having to go back and try to re-read lines over made me realize the complexity of this reading. The pronunciation in literature can at times cause much confusion or clarity. This shows just how much language can change. Years from now the way we communicated may seem obsecure to those that will read our present day literature
