Directions: Written below are questions related to the last meeting’s discussion. Please provide
your original answers.
1. As a student, what are the benefits that you will gain from studying literature?
As a student studying literature for me help me gain life lessons relying upon
what I had perused. It likewise helps me improved my vocabulary and my
compositions. Studying literature keeps my imaginative and creative mind process
in which I gain entertainment through it.
3. Mention a book title or any literary text and elaborate it using the three models. Say
something about its cultural aspects, language usage and its impact that contributes to
your personal growth.
City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments Series) by Cassandra Clare
The book City of Bones entails an ordinary teenage girl Clary Fray living
an ordinary life then, later on, learns that she's descended from a line of
Shadowhunters -- half-angel warriors who protect humanity from evil
forces. In the book, the races were specific, like Shadowhunters,
Vampires, Werewolves, Warlocks, Nephilims, and Mundanes (Humans).
This race shows their different beliefs, behaviors, norms, language, and
many more just like the warlock they believe that they can’t love other
races or groups. Nephilims have a behavior of being secretive, in the sense
that they know something but they won’t tell. While vampires have norms,
a ritual is precise shows, the process of how to be one of them. And these
races use their different languages such as werewolves howling is their
language used, Warlocks have also their usage of language same as other
races. So the book City of Bones is Sci-fi despite, there is still an impact
for me that contributes to my personal growth. In the book, before Clary’s
mother disappear they argued, and that is where she found out everything
about her mother’s secrets. Then Clary joins forces with a group of
Shadowhunters and enters Downworld. Clary and her companions must
find and protect an ancient cup that holds the key to her mother's future for
her to find her mother. I have realized in this book that no matter how hard
you try to hide the truth it will always come out in the end because lies are
just a temporary delay to the inevitable. And also, no matter how
rebellious you are, you will always do everything just to be reunited with
your mother. As they always say, mother knows best.
5. Explain this statement. “That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your
longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You
belong.” ~F. Scott Fitzgerald
Literature has many powerful and superb things to offer. By reading literature, we
have discovered that our feelings or sentiments are the same as the others in
which literature brings and connects people through emotions. Once we realized
that we have universal emotions, we don’t feel forlorn and isolated from anyone,
and we sense that we belong in society.
