Bedtime Stories are great source of literature. The bedtime story that I can remember as a small child is a song that my mother would sing to me : Hush little baby, don't say a word mommie is gonna buy you a mocking bird. The Hush little baby song would just relax me and I would fall alseep right in my mother's arm. Who would ever think that a song with words would have that much power over a person.

I learned a great many of nursery rhymes in my early childhood days. One song that I really enjoyed the most is the one about Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. In your mind you could just imagine an object on a high wall, that fell down from the wall really hard. I could just sing that song as a child over and over again. There were other nursery rhyme would I enjoyed like: Blue Bird, Little Sally Walker, and many more.

My most recent memories of literature is my reading books written by Spiritual Leaders. The most significant book that I think really kept my interest was a book I read titled "The Purpose Driven Life" written by Author Rick Warren. The book helped me to see my life and which direction I am headed in. I have also read books by T.D. Jakes, Joyce Meyers, Paula White, and others that I can not recall the name right at this moment.

Literature matters greatly in this society. Literature allows people to know how other people view the world in which we live in. I can only imagine and read about far away places which I am sure that I will never visit. Through the power of written literature the images can be like real life to me. I actually relax when I engage in reading literature. Some literature can be boring to a person depending on what engages the reader's interest. Always literature is informative. I thank god that writers all over the world is writing. Literature opens up the mind to much excitement about the world in which we live in. Literature always matter because it is telling us something that we need to know. If people would read more literature they would become more educated about all kinds of topics.

I can see how creative my God is through Literature. Reading the books of the bible can be a literature text. The stories really facinate me. Each character in the bible is telling life from their view. God's image is so revealed by the stories that the character is telling. I guess I never saw it that way that the bible could be a literature text. Truly it is a literature text because , the bible after you have read it gets into the mind and takes a special place inside of it.

My desire is to learn much from this class of literature and apply some of the skills to my overall life. I hope to become a better reader with greater comprehension. I will allow this skill to overflow into my grandchildren lives by reading to them and helping them to be good readers. My Degree is in Elementary Education. I hope to be a great teacher just like the great God that I have.
