    LITERARY APPRECIATION

    AND VALUING IN/OF PROSE


    What is Prose?

    Prose – is a form of writing or speaking that


    follows natural flows of speech and grammar,
    it is written ordinarily, without intended
    metrical structure.
    Importance of Prose.

    In literature, the basic purpose of prose in


    writing is to convey an idea, deliver
    information, or tell a story. It is the way a
    writer fulfills her basic promise to a reader to
    deliver a story with characters, setting, conflict,
    a plot, and a final payoff.
    Definition of Literary Appreciation
    Literature – describes a variety of creative written or
    oral works of imagination. It also can be defined as
    imitation of life, it is an imaginary composition but
    not a faithful record of reality as history because it
    merely copies actual life, people, events, and
    situations.
    Great Values of Literature;
    Entertainment
    Mastering of English Language
    Emotional Relief
    Social Control
    Literature also functions as a means of direct experience
    Literature Mirrors Life
    Literature is a reservoir of culture
    Literature Serves As Historical Document/ Social Document
     Finally, Literature is also a means of education and enlightenment
    Literary Appreciation
     According to Ogenlewe (2006) ‘literary appreciation refers to the
    evaluation of works of imaginative literature as an intellectual or
    academic exercise.’ In this process the reader interprets, evaluates
    or classifies a literary work with a view to determining the artistic
    merits or demerits or such a work.
     While Donelson and Nilsen (2009) stated that it is the process by
    which one ‘gauges one’s interpretive response as a reader to a
    literary work’. This means that the reader is able to gain pleasure
    and understanding for the literature, understand its value and
    importance and admire its complexity.
    Literary Appreciation
    Literary appreciation focuses on the adequate grasp of
    definition and application of the following which may be
    encountered within texts.
    Traditional Literary Devices:
    Plot
    Character
    Metaphor
    Setting and;
     Symbolism
    Margaret’s Early Stages of Growth in
    Literary Appreciation
    Stages which readers go through are added unto without
    dropping the previous stages. Thus, literary appreciation is a
    lifelong process. However, occasionally students are ill-
    equipped to handle transition from childhood literature to
    adolescent literature and fail at establishing literary
    appreciation. This may occur as a result of a student’s late or
    early cognitive maturity. As teachers, we must understand
    that in order to appreciate literature students must experience
    pleasure from their reading.
    Donnelson and Nilsen (2009), Seven Stages
    of Literary Appreciation
    Level 1: Pleasure and Profit (literary appreciation is a social experience)
    Level 2: Decoding (literacy is developed)
    Level 3: Lose yourself (reading becomes a means of escaping)
    Level 4: Find yourself (discovering identity)
    Level 5: Venture beyond self (‘going beyond me’, assessing the world around them)
    Level 6: Variety in reading (reads widely and discusses experiences with peers)
    Level 7: Aesthetic purposes (avid reader, appreciates the artistic value of reading)
