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.

Most readers are quite familiar with what they like and do not like in books. This is one of the most important things a person can know. When an individual knows what is interesting to them, they do not waste time with the unfamiliar unless they are trying something new. Those who decide to read, might start with movies they like before actually reading the book.

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 know the writer's intentions. Sometimes a writer might use fiction as a way to inform others of a truth. This is similar to using a parable or a tale to illustrate a moral understanding of life. Many times interviews are held with writers where they are asked why they wrote a particular book on any given subject. This can help to expand one's understanding of the author and their work.

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.

Verbal art is very subjective, and it is usually left to the person reading it to decide what it means to them. This is why a person should read simply for the pleasure of doing so, not because they want to show that they are right. This also makes it easier to interact with others who have read the same book.

People who love to read, tend to be the ones who will always have a book with them. They do not do this because they have to, but due to how entertaining it is. A good reader will always find fiction a pleasure since it gives them a new way to see the world and also helps to develop their imagination.
