How To Appreciate Literary Entertainment

By Patty Goff


Words are one of the main ways people communicate on any given day. Words have the ability to inform, but they can also be very entertaining depending on how they are used. In literary entertainment, words are put together in such a way so that they bring pleasure to the world. This is mainly in the form of fiction such as novels, poetry, and short stories. Here are a few ways in which one can appreciate this body of work.

In order to appreciate fiction, it is important to know the different genres that are available. Every type of fictitious work belongs to a category of writing whether it is a novel, a poem or a short story. By reading various works, one can get to know what they like and do not like. Sometimes they type of movies that are watched can help to determine what types of reading material will be of interests.

In some cases, many prefer the books as oppose to the movie. The reason behind this mainly comes from the fact that most movie makers make lots of changes when they are writing their screenplays. This means that some of the very interesting parts of the book will be left out which can change everything. It is these pieces of the story, that make the book so much better for some people because there is more to what they are seeing on the screen.

As a reader, it is also a good thing to have some understanding of the methods used to create verbal works of art. This might apply to someone who wants to be a writer, but it can help anyone have an appreciation for good storytelling. This also applies to the literary devices used to create poetry if one loves good poems, or even short stories.

It also helps to understand the authors point of view so that one's personal views can be placed in perspective. If one decides that they do not need to listen to interviews the writer has done or read about them, they might miss some valuable information that might help them enjoy their readings a bit more. They may not see what they are reading as entertaining.

One might decide that after all of this, they might have the correct way of interpreting a novel or poem. However, this might not be the best way to enjoy fiction. At the end of the day, art is not objective and to try to create this frame of reference can cause a person not enjoy what they are reading. As was mentioned earlier, understanding what the writer wants to say is important.

What is most important is that the person reading the material enjoys it. While it is good to know various tools and techniques for understanding written works like fiction, these will not necessarily cause a person to be entertained by it. So the reader has to decide to enjoy the process in order to get the most out of a book.

These are a few of the ways one will not appreciate the fiction that is available to him or her. There are many more ways and techniques that one can find for themselves that will help in taking pleasure in verbal works of art. It is important not to rush the process and to take the time to enjoy these stories for the sake of it.
