The existence of literature brings about certainty. Education in literature is a key component to the well being of the people today.  The knowledge of literature is a brilliant path way that should be expounded upon.  People all over the world have different views and concepts on different literature examples and stories.  Having Literature in our lives is greatly considered one of the main factors to our knowledge and understanding today.  We would not have the same readings and feelings on topics if it were for our certain knowledge of it.

For example, the industry that brings about musical lyrics. When an artist is composing a new song they will think about things around them in the world today.  Bob Marley was a famous musical artist.  He was not afraid to say what needed to be said in his songs.  Although, many times the lyrics that were said were misinterpreted by us as a people and brought along different readings and understandings to songs.

The great influential promises of poems are one that cannot be recognized to a certain understanding with people.  Poems are great path ways to how we see our lives and how we communicate and live. Today, many are not learned on the topic. There are men and women who have lived their lives without the true knowledge and guidance that poems can bring.  The mentality of our lives can be brought up through poetry.  Expressions, feelings, comforts, and divine nature are few examples of things that poems bring about.  Less and less times do you hear someone go back in thought and use a quote from a poem that they have heard, and expressed it to others in their lives.

In tandem, the examples of Robert Frosts quote “A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity.” Having the guidance from poetry when young helps to

realize what the main points of things are. In Frosts quote, it delivers the message our society is changing to fit the appearance of others.  Our world today has been mocked and changed due to the insecurity of one’s self image.  There are those who can’t go outside without being mistreated and misunderstood.  Poems are there to help with all of this.  Having knowledge of poems can greatly influence how we act and react to the altering of our lives.

On the other hand, there is the possibility of those whose views will counteract and argue with these thoughts.  The ones who don’t believe in literature and poems have different actions and feelings about the topics.  The point may come out that poetry and literature are not needed in the lives around us today.  They believe it to be a contradiction to the beliefs of the fact that our lives are changing and being predisposed by the literature in the modern lives today.

            Our actions, feelings, thoughts, and comforts are aroused by literature and poetry.  We would not be able to have the same views and understandings we have if it weren’t for them. What we believe is our decision and with the help of the understandings of literature we are able to alter our life’s and begins on new paths. Poetry and Literature go hand in hand with each other and are good keys to success in our day to day lives.
