Conclusion

Throughout Literary Criticism I learn different types of criticism such as Traditional, Sociological, Formalist, Psychoanalytical and Mythological criticism. The stories I criticized were "Thank You, M´am", "Harrison Bergeron", "Uglies", “The Rocking Horse Winner”, "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?". Those stories are very interesting. When I read I can imagen if I were inside the stories. I could learn about the authors of each story because in their writing there is a part of their real life, they transmit a message to the readers, each story has its own purpose, and I could make different critics throughout them. I learned what I expected, important aspects about above readings, and I enjoyed those stories and enriched my critic point of view about reading. It is important to know that readings can teach people many things about life; people should enjoy reading and try to think about the readings messages.

    Very true! It is also important the think about everything you read. Even some news stories are published as being real news when it is really just a gimmick to sell a newspaper or get people to read the articles on line.

Thank You M´am (Traditional Criticism, Langston Hughes)

Imagen
Probably, Langston Hughes inspired from his childhood experience and he wrote "Thank You, M'am" because he grew up with his maternal grandmother for the reason that, when he was a baby his parents separated, his father moved to Mexico and his mother moved constantly during his youth. This short story tells about an old woman who takes a role of a mother just for a short period of time, because Roger is boy, he is alone with anyone who cares him. Probably Langston wanted represent his grandmother into Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones because she raised him in his childhood until she died when he was a teenager. In this story "Thank You, M'am" Langston talks about two important themes such as shame when he's reprimanded for trying to steal; and forgiveness, when Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones gave Roger a second chance and teaches him an important lesson about dignity and respect and also that people can do right things in hard circumstances.

Beowulf (Mythological Criticism)

Beowulf. it is a poem in which the author is unknown, neither the time that was written. Currently there is film since 2007. In this poem/movie the characters face many struggles, for instance, Grendel is a demon and appears at the beginning the poem/movie, he kilt many people in the Hrothgar´s kingdom, and another demon is his mother, who wants to take revenge about Grendel’s dead. The hard circumstances and the conflicts that characters face in the mystic poem/film, is not the same as the real life, however at the moment people have many conflicts such as, violence, in every sense of the word. People are acting violently when they feel threatened, or they get mad for any hard situations. Revenge; currently people do whatever they want and if they do not get what they want, they take revenge, and, compared with the poem/film people takes revenge even for their jobs, family, and friends the unique difference is that in “Beowulf” the demon is who takes revenge not the people.
