blues lyrics & fairytales
I feel that fairytales and blues lyrics have a strong connection with literature. Blues music have a lot of feeling behind it, with the way it is performed and also written, the way a person present it is how much passion and meaning there is to it. they serve a very important purpose to society itself, I think, to show people what someone is trying to say or speak out to a crowd of what they believe or what they are going through, whether its heart break, or an obstacle they are personally going through. Fairytales, on the other hand, show people a fantasy land, to take them away from all reality, but to feel what is magical or unimaginable, and to make it come alive just from reading a story. I don’t think we read them in the same way, because sometimes stories are written in slang which some of us may not be able to interprt well, but i’m sure from the writer’s point of view it is read differently, and understood differently coming from him/her. They are definately worth reading and teaching because there is so much history behinds blues and other genres of stories. I think it helps people to become more cultured and understand the past itself just from little storys whether they are legends, myths, morals,..etc. The choices of language that people choose to read effect our reading experience, because it sounds copmletely different, even if it is read in a british accent, or a southren accent, it seems to be heard and understood differently. I think that certain texts that are written in a specialized style is readable, but when they are put in slang southern terms, like the uncle remus story, it was very hard for me to read and understand it at the same time. I think the text shows how people back in the day were less educated, due to the time period and today it is rare to find people that speak in that accent. Although I still have trouble with speaking proper english and slang meanings are still used today. I think the way we speak now won’t be any different from the way we speak five yrs maybe ten years from now, but history does show some made up terms and slang words that maybe teens or certain groups of people make up, and start a trend, and i still see new made up words being created through our coming years.
