The thing that makes literature, literature

World Literature:

This semester I really enjoyed learning about World Literature. I liked learning about all kinds of different things from learning about other people across the world to how to use satire. Baraaka, the video we watched showed me how people live and worship their religions. Satire was probably my favorite subject that we learned this semester. One day when we had to pick a video to share to the class really just maybe it more enjoyable then just lecturing and taking notes all class period. We get so caught up in making fun of people that their not just making fun of people but the society as well. After reading the Lord of the Flies this past month I really could understand it better because of how detailed you got and took the imagery to the next level. I would have never look at a quote or a sentence so deeply. After reading that, I learned that there is more then just a sentence and digging deeper.

Campbell:

"... We have only to follow the thread of the hero path, and where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall slay ourselves. Where we thought to travel outward, we will come to the center of our own existence. And where we had thought to be alone, we will be with all the world"( Campbell, 123).
Campbell is saying that we should find and follow a hero's path in which there will be a maze in your life and you need to find yourself. We think that we need to kill people but really we are killing ourselves. When we are alone the world is by our side.

Swift:

" It is a melancholy object to those who walk through this great town or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads, and cabin doors, crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags"(Swift,1)...
Jobs are stressful. Its hard when you have a children, no job, can't take care of them, and have a good and healthy environment for the children.  There more beggars especially for women because its harder for them to get a job. 

Golding:


"...This is so deeply woven into the way we live, or at least the way we live at home in England, that I don't suppose one really questions it much"(Golding, 210)...
This book relates to so much of our daily lives. Golding is saying that we go into war for little tiny things that don't matter. We get so caught up in being superior to everyone else. It will always be this way. People not agreeing to one another.
