Are you sure you want to be a teacher?
Read Hamlet yourself, then you will know why.

Shakespeare was and is the roots of modern novels and movies! I read Hamlet in 12th grade, and my teacher was wonderful. I actually enjoyed it and really look for foreshadowing, symbolism, and all sorts of things I usually was unaware of. I myself am writing a book, and had it half done when I read Hamlet, and realized how I myself have been foreshadowing. Hamlet also is a good character study, and helps you understand parts of yourself and others. We all end up food for worms anyway!

There are so many wonderful lines in this play that have made it into our everyday speech…eg. “to thine ownself be true”. I find it to be a philosophical play and it examines many aspects of being human.

Comment on Why Should College Students Read The New Testament In A World Literature Class? by sharksoc

i think the new testament is a great one
firstly the bible is the best selling and most well known book in the whole world
secondly the new testament is set in the times of the roman empire where ideas and inventions were quick to spread around due to the common language and ease of movement between regions under one government (becoming more like that today too don’t you think?)
thirdly – it gives the origins of the church and Christianity which has been a fundamental part of the western culture for centuries
fourthly – it is a great read!
start them off with one of the gospels outline then follow on with acts as the backbone of the new testament
all the epistles can be linked in with acts with revelation tacked on at the end

Well I certainly can’t agree with Aslan that it’s a great read. It’s long, boring, pedantic, the characters are one-dimensional, it contains a good deal of fake history (Jews were never slaves in Egypt, etc), and some chapters are just lists of names. But overall, the Bible is one of the most-quoted sources in modern literature, so some parts are useful to understand other books – just as ‘1984′ and ‘Catch-22′ are useful in that respect (and much better reads). The problem here is reading the bible as literature instead of religion – that’s a distinction many teachers cannnot or are not willing to make.

Comment on What Is The Difference Between American Literature And World Literarture? by Johnny

American Lit would focus soley on American works, whereas World Lit would expand the focus of study to works from different parts of the world.
I think World Lit might be a bit more difficult, but also more interesting, although there are some great American writers out there too.
Hope that helps.
Good luck to you!
