Some people argue that learning literature at school is a waste of time since it has no practical values.
Personally, I partly disagree with this idea and contend that it provides essential moral orientation to
students. Firstly, this essay will discuss the impractical application of literature and secondly, it will
discuss the importance of learning literture.
On the one hand, high schoolers might find it hard to apply literature lessons to real life. Indeed,
writers or poets compose their works at a time that is fundamentally different from present-day world.
More importantly, characters in these works are clearly fictional, having a set of behaviors that are not
always relatable in modern terms. For example, throughout the poem ”Odyssey”, the hero mostly use
violence to settle all disagreements, an approach that would not be highly appreciated in current
civilization.
On the other hand, it appears to me that learning literary works is vital in forming ethical perceptions for
students. While studying novels or poem, they will be able to empathize with the characters,
understanding their circumstances in the given settings instead of making subjective judgements. As a
result, students would likely to appreciate contradictory opinions and cherish differences, eventually
becoming empathetic citizens. I believe that this is why literature should be include in school curriculum.
In conclusion, although novels and poems may seem impractical, I am convinced that literature should
have a place in high school program to nurture students’ cognition. It is highly recommended that
schools can have more methods to interest students in leanrning literature.
