I think we should study more Escapist novels, because I am able to grasp the concept of teh novel quicker. Although Intrepretive Fiction is good for one's thinking skills, I prefer Escapist rather than Intrpretive fiction.Escapist novels allow you to peek into someone else's life and their story, forgetting the world around you. Even though Intrepretive fiction allows you to understand the deeper meaning of the novel, it isn't all that interesting, it's actually fairly boring. I would rather prefer Romance or Escapist novels because it allows to escape the real world, and fall into someone else's shoes.
In class we read Lord of the Flies by William Golding which was an Intrepretive Novel, but was veryyy boring. I know the novel was meant to understand the deeper meaning of the story. Then we read a novel called Leslie's Journal by Allan Stratton which was waaayyy better thann Lord of the Flies only because you could actually understand what the author was trying to get at . I would say that Leslie's Journal was more of an escapist novel , because it allowed you to experience someone else's situation, rather than having to comprehend a deeper meaning.
I think that students should be offered a choice of more Escapist Fiction novels, beacause there far more interesting. Students would actually be able to finish the novel, rather than having to force themselves to read the novel. I felt that it was difficult to grasp the concept of the novel Lord of the Flies. Although Intrepretive novels are good for your brain I would reccomend Escapist Fiction.
