Perspective of Literature

Reading different literary works by different authors makes you look at how they write a literary piece, and what they are trying to say within their writitngs. The meaning of what they write can touch you in many ways either it be sad, happy, or even a devistating or tragic piece of work. What I like about literature is that you can chose who you want to talk about or what writing to talk about, and you can express it in any way you feel. The author of a poetic piece that I was really interested in and wanted to know more about was Randall Jarrell. Seeing his short poems or other literary works especially the poem "The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner", makes me want to know more about who he is as a person, what made him start writing these short but elaborate pieces. Not just looking at who he is or how he started writing, but different writing pieces that he wrote that were best sellers, and did these literary works come from his life or just others around. This will make me look at literature writings and Randall Jarrell in a whole new way, and just learning new things in the process that I never knew before.
