Literature is a skill that the majority of this generation appears to lack in. It consists of a wide range of literary works such as classical well-known novels, inspirational poems/ speeches and so on. It is important to have knowledge and skill in literature as it allows the reader to grasp the knowledge that is needed in order to further comprehend language as a whole and engage in more sophisticated thoughts and conversations. It also betters our ability to read others and interpret their body language and thoughts.
Women's literature, to be specific, is a kind of literature that can be used to express a variety of different thoughts and views. As a result of women's literature, people started to see things and understand them from different angles and perspectives, allowing them to understand how women view the world and the society as a whole. With it readers can form a less biased judgment about women and their values.
The themes and values of Munro's social realism were significant during the mid 1990s. This is due to the fact that her short stories managed to focus on women, and how they struggle to the fact that it was the 2nd wave of feminism at the time, so there we see a link that shows the significance of her themes. Munro stresses in her short stories, on bringing attention to women from their own perspectives, while also including different kinds of women from all ages, contributing to women's literature. Seeking equality in society, her short story "Boys and Girls" targeted the idea of gender roles, which took into consideration the expectations that people from either sex live up for.
The reason behind me admiring Alice Munro's short stories and techniques, was because as a reader a person wants to read and learn something different. The thing that was different and impacting, was how Munro managed to write her stories surrounding women as the main characters. In addition, the fact that she managed to make her stories informative and give perceptive without having to write anything much longer than just a typical short story, made her stories appealing and enjoyable.
