This week we gave a big emphasis on the comparison of literature to pieces of art and the differences of literature and stories. Before this week I did not know the difference between a piece of literature and a story but after reading an article in class about how works of literature are made into movies the connection clicked in my mind. A work of literature tells a story but adds background and makes the reader consider missing parts, make connections that aren't obvious. A story is something anyone can make for they are more to the point and are more focused on entertainment. This thought made me think more when back to my sixth grade class, during a writing workshop our prompt for the day was to think of an object and describe it without telling us what it is. This prompt came back many times in my life for last year in my creative writing class I found myself describing what a tree was without saying "my object is a tree". When looking at art pieces we were told to not try to view the entire thing but to pick out different perspectives. This was helpful for me because unlike reading and writing I find no fascination in looking at a painting for hours. This also helped me to be more interested in art works for I could look at the piece of art in a way that brought entertainment to me. This exercise connects to reading literature (for this class is not AP art its AP literature and compositions) in the way that you don't have to view a book in every single way and not everyone will view the piece of literature the same way as you but if you're able to back up your claims then you can't be wrong. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/21/literary-novels-_n_3790198.html
