Many different types of knowledge can be gained from literature such as you can gain a wider range of vocabulary, this then improves your English all together. The reason for the gain in knowledge is that our brain starts to remember and recall similarities in the language what is used or the punctuation that has been used and where. Students are always told that if they read more then there own English ability will improve, to this I completely agree with the statement. Another knowledge what is gained is a deeper understanding of other people’s culture and your own, it does this by showing other peoples opinions on things such as there culture. I have personally learnt through literature about the Chinese culture from some of the books we have read in English class. It doesn’t just give us a deeper understanding but more of a personal opinion on this culture or the way they do things. The last one is that we know that other people share the same feelings about somethings or have had similar experiences, this can all be done through literature. I have known that people have not thought they were just the same as everyone else but different. But once reading literature they see that the things what they thought had seperated people has actually brought them together.

CategoriesArchivesSearch this blog’s contentIs TOK a Philosophy Course?YES, in the sense that the name of the course itself is in any dictionary effectively synonymous with "epistemology." NO, in the sense that IB-specific ToK has many philosophical elements, but is not just philosophy. ToK is at root an interdiscipinary course that allows students to become aware of how the six subject-groups on the corners on the Diploma hexagon overlap and integrate. The interdisciplinary aspect is the crucial thing . . . . —Bruce Bartlett ----------------------------- "A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking."—Steven Wright Webs & ChainsNatura in reticulum sua genera connexit,
non in catenam: homines non possunt nisi catenam sequi, cum non plura simul possint sermone exponere. Nature knits up her kinds in a network, not in a chain; but men can follow only by chains because their language can’t handle several things at once. —Albrecht von Haller (tr. Howard Nemerov) [Epigraph to Nemerov's poem, "The Dependencies"] About This BlogUntil June 2011, this TOK blog was managed solely by Eric MacKnight.
