What am I learning in Literature 16 course?

How do I examine what I am learning in my college Literature course? It’s hard to put in details about what I am learning but ill gave it a shot. Literature is more important than just a historical or cultural artifact, I knew that before I even took the course. When I talked with a couple of friends, they said things that did not change my view about Literature. For example its boring, and they did not know why Literature was required because its just like history. However, I did not let my friends put me down about this course, so I attend the first class with high hopes.

In my literature course, my professor, who is a lesbian author and professor. Is teaching us (when I mean "us", I mean the class and I) about Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, and Transgender writers, including herself who is lesbian. My literature course is representing LBGT tradition. In this course the class discusses and analyzes LBGT writers work about "coming out" about their sexuality. Also, the class analyzes the quality of the writers work. Literature is important to us because it speaks to us, it is universal, and it affects us. Literature introduces us to new worlds of experience and to be opened-minded about different cultures and etc. Futhermore, this course is teaching us more about the "lost words" of LGBT writiers and struggles they had to go thru in the early 19 century. I learn a great deal about LGBT writiers and also literature; I sometimes enjoy the stories.

I have grown and evolve through our literary journey with LBGT tradition. Also, I opened up about my sexuality aswhile which was really confusing at the time. I am not going to lie but my coming out stage was diffult for me. I have learned alot about how to deal with views of other people but I am happy that 99% of my friends are accepting. My family on the other hand, I have not told and I believe, I'll never while. However, reading about LBGT writiers and the diffult struggle they went thru, when LGBT was not acceptable. Breaks my heart but then I am somewhat glad I have great friends that accept me for me.

To wrap this blog up, I am learning alot from this course. That has already benefitted me in my struggle of life and sexuality. I while never forget this course or my professor and her life story. Thanks for reading.
