This means books that pass the test of time. A book might be popular when it first comes out but is it still popular in 5 years, 10, 50, 100?

You need to narrow this down. What age/grade are you? What have you been reading for class?\nShakespeare?\n20th Century Plays?\nAmerican authors?\n\nNarrow it down some and you'll get better answers.

A personification poem gives life to an inanimate object.  It would be like a poem about a table.

Try to start with a story, anecdote, or interesting fact.  Something like "Did you know that people who read books for pleasure are 80% more likely to get good grades in school?"  (Something true though.. I just made that up LOL.)  If you have a funny story about why it's important to read books, that would be even better.  But make sure it's relevant to your main points.  Then say "I would like to talk to you about the importance of reading books."  And move on to your three-points introduction, or whichever format you are using :-)  Good luck!

A good site that covers lots of works by different authors, it includes, Themes, Character analysis, and explains every thing that you are ever going to need to answer literature questions.\n\nhttp://sparknotes.com/literature\n\nType in the title of the book/Author and navigate around until you find what you need.

It's a witty way of summarizing the body of your paper in a single sentence conclusion.  An example I found off the net was "poverty is not a great issue, if everyone is poor."

Robin_Thor has a good understanding about this literary giant and this is to let him know that we appreciate a good effort. \nWell itsamystery, hopefully you are rested up from your Spring Break because if this is an assignment that needs to be turned in I am afraid that you have some work to do.\nIn gratitude to you for your question I will answer you with 'my start' into this work which if not for your question I would still be outside on the patio.  \n\nHere goes a swell beginning:\n\n.\n\nWhy, Death Be Not Proud\nIn “Death Be Not Proud” the protagonist literary presenters are chosen teenagers for the reasons that the importance of this poem is to have a definite and positive impact on younger students and young adults alike across the world.  For it serves as guide for the confrontatious attitudes necessary in the face of, emotional, physical and spiritual adversity.  To forge a better social function among us that will inevitably present to our younger generations. These are all here and within this poem and which all support the theme of this magnificent writing.  In  “Death Be Not Proud” is found a generational social cohesiveness that is necessary for a functional society’s survival, and which is so well prayed by John Gunther’s 1947 memoirs.  \nIt is a penned offering intellectually and emotionally secured as a memoir to his son whose ultimate youthful death by a brain tumor at the age of seventeen is eminent. Gunther draws from his heart and from John Dunne’s 17th century “The Holy Sonnets: X” in producing this writing.  It is a poem, in which Gunther argues that ‘death should take no pride in what it does, as it is ultimately powerless to prevent the resurrection of all humanity.’ It can be presented at a literary discourse for educational purpose or as a play on a stage.  \n“Death be not proud, though some have called thee / mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so,\nFor those whom thou think’st thou dost overthrow,\nDie not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.\nFrom rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,\nMuch pleasure:  then from thee much more must flow,\nAnd soonest our best men with thee do go,\nRest of their bones, and soul’s delivery.\nThou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,\nAnd dost with poison, war and sickness dwell;\nAnd Poppy or charms can make us sleep as well\nAnd better than thy stroke; why swell’st thou then? \nOne short sleep past, we wake eternally,\nAnd death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.     John Donne\nIt is a versified oratory free-verse poem with melodic tone, chant, and supple plea/defiant texture composed about young Johnny Gunther.  About his attitudes and strife for living in the face of a natural and inevitable defeat.  It is the presentation of the life of Johnny’s family and their recourse to every medical possibility known at the time, taken from an elegy of a long time past, converted from a poem of love and not a poem of mourning. And even unto an eternal spiritual search for the healing of the body, of the mind, and of the spirit of their son by John Gunther and his wife.  About their tessellated forms draught from their experiential abilities within such frames of human suffrage.  In explicit honesty are laid bare the pains and struggles of a family trying to delay the ultimate inevitable end for a son that is as brilliant as Johnny.  From the radical surgeries to strictly controlled diets in endless effort to save his life by a determined harmonious familial union in the face of adversarial reality as they live on for life’s sake. All while in defiance of any honor attributable by mere mortals to death’s demands. \n\nhttp://www.cs.rice.edu/ ssiyer/minstrels/poems/796.html  \n\n\nJose

I took a literature class where I read novels and stories from different literary movements(Greek,Roman,Medieval,Neoclassicism,Illustration, etc)\nand it gave me a better sense of understanding of life. How we have evolved as humans through literature. I loved that class.
