Studies of Literary Works

Ok, ok, ok...I'm like...super waaaay behind. Sorry Mrs. G.

See...there's this thing called "Hermeneutics," and...

Ok, that's really no excuse, so, I'm just gonna get to the point. Haha.

WASSUP Peoples?

I'm here to *briefly* discuss why certain literary works like Shakespeare, Marlowe, and yes, even the Holy Bible, should continue to be studied in "advanced" times such as these.

So...why should they even be CONSIDERED granted that we have cult phenomenons like "Harry Potter," "The Lord of the Rings," "Twilight," and my personal favorite, "The Diary of a Wimpy Kid." We have so many books and stories nowadays that appeal to us that we don't need any of that Ol' School stuff...right?

WRONG.

It's the Ol' School stuff...the stories BEFORE the stories, that have helped to set the premise for all of the "stuff" that's out today. They are what built the foundation on which the cult classics of today stand on. It'd be a shame not to revisit the vast collection of Shakespearean literature. It'd be an even bigger shame not to crack open the Bible and witness that some of the greatest stories ever recorded lay within those 66 chapters. It's the truth.

So why not revisit the history, so we can understand and appreciate their impact on us today? I think that's the right thing to do. But, I can only speak for myself. I enjoy the Ol' School to the fullest, and no one can tell me otherwise. It's just how I'm wired. What can I say.

But until we can appreciate the new things...we must first understand and value the things that came BEFORE the new things. Why do ya'll think I Love "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie" so much? Haha.

I hope I gave ya'll a small glimpse of my opinion on this. I'm sorry for my tardiness on the subject at hand, but...Hermeneutics class...ugh.

Ya'll have a good one.

I'm out.
