Theme of the Blog
- Normally when we open our windows, we can see beautiful views from the room.
- As it is the major concern of the novel, therefore, we choose a template that portrays the wonderful views outside the room and how it can inspire our lives.
- This view proves to us that we should be thinking out of the box and not conformed to traditional ways of thinking because it assists in building our personality.
- The choice of colors used is to enhance the reader’s and bloggers’ interests in Literature. Rather than assuming it as a tedious subject matter to be discussed, the blog shows how interesting the subject of Literature is.
Why do we choose
English Literature: 20th Century and Contemporary?
We choose English Literature: 20th Century and
Contemporary because this subject deals with various kinds of literary works
and it keeps developing throughout the century. For example, T.S Eliot, George
Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett and others
respectively used different methods in conveying their thoughts and emotions to
readers.
Other than that, by learning this subject, we are exposed
to many legacies that reflect the condition of women in the society by the time
women suffrage movement took place. For example, a play written by G.B Shaw
entitled, “Major Barbara” and a novel
by E. M. Forster namely, “A Room with a
View”.
In addition, this subject also reflects the importance of
war poets in contributing the stories behind the wars (World War I, World War
II, Cold War, etc.) through the war poets’ masterpieces. These poets are such
as; Wilfred Owen, Sigfried Sassoon, Isaac Rosenberg and others. Throughout
their poems, students are able to learn how wars destructed the institution of
nations. We also realized that human beings should be living in peace and
harmony as war is not the solution to any problem that we faced.
