Question: Why do we read
novels?
Answer/Quote:
“The ways all of us interact and get through life are illustrated in stories.
Adolescents are preoccupied with themselves and their relationships with
others. They are ready to study human nature as shown in novels.” P. 523.
Comment: Do we ever address the question of why we
read novels when we assign them in class? Or do we just assume that students
understand the reasons for reading novels? Try asking your classes, “Why do we
read noels?” What’s the point? RayS.
