Literary profile

My earliest literary memories are those of my mother reading Bible stories to me and my sisters each night from a children’s Bible. I also remember that Snot Stew was the first chapter book I ever read in elementary school and I was very proud of myself for finishing it because I didn’t like reading at all then. In middle school I began enjoying reading and I read a lot of the Nancy Drew books. I love reading mystery stories and Mary Higgins Clark is one of my favorite authors. Right now I have been interested in works that better inform and explain the different aspects of Christianity and faith. I enjoy learning this and obtaining a better knowledge of who my God is and what He does for His people. I would have to say the most significant literary text I have read is God’s Will. I read it many years ago and it was one of the first Christian fiction books that I had read. The plot of the story was very interesting and I learned a lot of life lessons from it. Literature is important because it is a great way for others to share their ideas and opinions with many people. It is also a great way for readers to develop and strengthen their own ideas. They can read the ideas and works of other authors and from that build upon or critique their own ideas. For some literature doesn’t matter because they don’t have the desire to practice critical thinking or develop their knowledge. I believe it is very important to always be learning something new and to continually seek more knowledge. Reading different types of literature is the best and most interesting way to do this. You not only get to learn new things but you are often able to see how these ideas have impacted others and how significant they can be.
