LITERATURE COURSES

I think that literature shouldn't be must course, it should be elective course because literature can't be taught to students by force. Literature is taught willingly. Otherwise it becomes a torture for students. If a student doesn't like reading poems or books, literature is a ordinary course for him or her.He or she only wants to get a high grade and keep high his or her grade. However, if a student loves literature, it becomes a enjoyable course for him or her.He or she doesn't view it as memorizing certain things. He or she takes it willingly goes to the lesson fondly. Besides, when literature is must course, teachers feel that they have to make students memorize some things. Otherwise in the lesson, theachers do more enjoyable things. For example; they reads poems and discuss together on the it or they discuss on the common books which they read. The only worries of students don't become to get high grade in the exam. They learns great works and their authors, poets in that way; not by force.
We took literature as must course in high school and we had to memorize the names of authors, poets and their works. Yet, I can remember none of them today. I am certain that the most of us can't remember.Literature can be taught by reading, not memorizing.Therefore, literature's being must course doesn't help students learn their authors, poets and works which belong to their culture; on the contrary it causes that students hate literature.
