First Class

“Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry.” ( Clare,2010,p.136)  said  Cassandra Clare in one of her bestsellers. As she mentioned the literature's influence on people she was certainly right. The first reason why i'm curious about literature is; it is all about our lives. The day first i met with literature, i realized that it comes from history and we are part of the history as humans.So how the history effected the literature and how the literature effected humans by all means, that was what amazed me this much. A further noteworthy reason i also noticed that the literature has a great effect on language. It is certain that as english language teaching students language has undeniable importance for us. All in all, these are the reasons why i liked literature class and as Fernando Pessoa says;  why i'm willing to enter the the most agreeable way of ignoring life.(Pessoa,2002,p.59)
