MULTIPLE GENRES

I never knew that letters and diaries are considered as a literary text. However, during the previous class with Dr Edwin, we learned Franz Kafka’s and Andy Warhol’s diaries. Also, we read letters from Van Gogh to his brother Theo, and also John Keats’ letters to his fiancée, Fanny Browne.

It is interesting to know that there are other sources of literary texts aside from the usual short stories, poems, novels, and plays. I am sure that Dr Edwin promises to give us more input on other genres of literary texts. At least these fresh genres can give students a different view of literature. Hopefully, I can use this in my future classroom. God willing…
