Question a)

Nelson Algren wrote, “Literature is made upon any occasion that a challenge is put to the legal apparatus by a conscience in touch with humanity,” (page 394). His writings always lived up to that definition. In beer tavern and hired room, at racetrack and police lineup, Algren depicted the reposeless with a dead wall humor and a moonlit poetry that embodied a moral imperative as a unique as his style. This is not the vision, nor the credo, of a flash-in-the-pan scribbler. Algren’s style, its long-line, street-smart language normally verges on small-key laments, is the real article, a Midwest writing style that commensurate to mean streets and difficult times and starved hearts (Tomlinson, 2000). And Algren’s argument that literature ought to be the voice of those minus voices, the personification of Whitman’s argue that be belongs to the criminals and prostitutes himself, is belief that cuts to the bone of the original American social compact, and it’s time we asked, and not without discomfort, one can ask what happened to Nelson Algren.

In the stories besieged by polite community can believe human rejects, Algren examines keenly the causes and results of addiction and crime, shortage and racial discrimination, misuse and alienation. Yet he does not propose solutions to the perennial social problems he addressees. Algren, whose literature depicts a God-forsaken humanity, presumes a visionary posture towards his traditions, offering lamentations and jeremiads to talk in opposition to community’s betrayal of its apparent ideals, its deadness to cast the first stone of blame over the economic fences behind which society’s bottom dogs suffer abuse and neglect. And so, the writer would redeem his selected individual’s under danger of humanity; offer to them a sometimes disastrous, or hilarious, but mostly poetically revelatory tone; and, by revealing communal failures, make achievable repentance and a new beginning (Tomlinson, 2000).

Question b)

To support the Algren’s statement, Kirylo 2004, the German poet, put it this way: “A poet should have on his casket not a wreath but a gun, to show that he was a faithful private in the liberation struggles of humanity. Algren’s countercultural perspective, however, originates not in any desire to emulate biblical prophecy but in an early allegiance to the political left and in firsthand experiences of life lived hand-to-mouth (Kirylo, 2004). From various related literatures and from other writers, the Algren’s claim is true.

Question c)

How the literature would it look like without conscience, or out of touch with humanity seems both troubling and extremely confusing to many. But at the same time it is hard not to see this change as potentially liberating and offering new possibilities. For it shows that the forms and mental strategies of literary fiction are dynamic and transcendent, self—reflexive and parabolic, and have always been so and even during the periods when elite was using literature to legitimate its own power. The capabilities that working with literature can assist to develop are not limited to the field of literature, but involve man as an understanding and interpreting being (Darling, 2001). Precisely because transcendence is at the very hearty of literacy fiction, in all its diverse forms, it provides a space where people can relate, not just to themselves and their given culture, but to the larger cultural dialectics and the way in which human beings in general perceive themselves ad their world. Due to its reflective character, literature offers a way of seeing oneself from the outside as an individual and a social being: seeing oneself from a changed position where all that was once taken for granted is no longer unconditional true. Literature makes use of the qualities in literary fiction might assists to educate as thinking beings and thereby further s cultural understanding that is not self—sufficient and limited, but views each individual culture in a relative perspective and places on its agenda the interaction of different cultures and different paradigms or ways of understanding: just a literature of lasting value has always done (Kirylo, 2004). The physical and personal learning elements is very hard to separate from the literature and aspects learned from the poetry. This is only made through suppose humanity is employed in literature or articles.

Critical thinking involves application of rational principles through cautious reasoning. It is an intellectual way of solving problems through observation, evaluation, reflection as well as proper analysis. Critical thinking usually involves the use of cognitive skills which are applied intellectually. It is worth noting that critical thinking brings about creativity and innovation in the sense that a person is supposed to apply extra knowledge and skills apart from the ones learnt in class. Notably, critical thinking is a feature that differentiates between those who executes learnt skills only from a professional writer who applies both critical thinking and learnt skills to solve a problem (Darling, 2001). Additionally, critical thinking especially to a learner involves putting both your feelings and a fact together which in turn helps you to intervene to a situation and this is only made so suppose the humanity is entailed in the literature. There has been a great difference in scholastic achievement of learners or readers in schools worldwide and this still remains a major source of concern and research interest to writers (Tomlinson, 2000). The reason behind this is because of the immense significance that education has on the overall national development of any literatures.

And in a nut shell, since non verbal communication is a way of transferring information where the parties use wordless messages. The message or signs can be used to communicate positive, negative or a neutral action. This signs vary from one culture to the other and also with gender cannot be achieved minus humanity in most of the writings.

Focus on form is based on the form of attention that comes along the communication issues in learners. It has been characterized that it is an extended interaction between writer and learners as part of the definition of negotiation, however, extends to the speaking of the learners that creates the sequential tasks of communication as a reaction to a breakdown in the same or where and while communication issue may not be present, although, there is a need for attention to form. Effective community in literature piece of work means effective stylish and other language forms use and this is made when humanity is used. And since learning is different and depends on capacity of understanding, a lot of experiences and more so are gotten from stylish and language use in an article. Furthermore, most learners improve on what they already know through study, and since the learners are self driven and self motivated it becomes easier when different styles are employed to explain a large meaning in an article.
