How and Why We Read: Crash Course English Literature #1

I wish those things were explained to me while I was learning in school.

This is a class I wish I could be in!

A damn good video.

what's the context of open letter? i still cant understand

“ Eekspay inyay igpay atinlay “ you got me lol

💚💙 Thank you thank you for this! As a kinesthetic leaner, listening/watching these while crocheting has helped immensely!

I can't believe im watching my first John Green cc at the age of 23.

You.can rid of this comment if there is any public access to this comment.

I have been an avid view to your channel, truthfully in grade school and just recently revived the interest.

I noticed you Mr. Green speak form a place of sincerity and respect when the subject at hand is history or literature;
And also from a place of humor most highschool history teachers find witty, who may or may not learn something they carry with them in mind. Something you don't already know.. I wanted to thank you for your reverence for the history of where we came from.. as an avid reader myself, I make reverence my ultimate attention and look past the ink, even when the author is very very dead, and attempt to equip myself with the lessons and quotations of those dead or alive. And I thank you again Mr. Green and the crash course team, for your continual release of an available port of history, literature, sciences, and all the more!

Best wishes

Any English literature students here? 🙋🏻

so true sis

I just finished Looking for Alaska, and it's so beautiful, thank you John
Also I just realized JOHN GREEN THE AUTHOR is teaching me about history of literature, I don't know why I didn't realize it at first, but he did looked familiar

Due today, watch today

Tremendous 🙌

Your logical fallacy is that there are writers who write for the benefit of themselves. They just exist, and we survive them with the helpful tips you've provided in this course.

Books are my favourite thing in the whole world....

Thank you for sharing, really helpful.

lol

Shit. I guess English can be fun

Why so hurry dude

What’s the intro song???

"Reading is an act of empathy."
So that's why Lemony Snicket said not to trust people without books.

📖📖

he seems like on cocaine but after watching his videos for years, it's just his genuine passion for learning and literature. It's like watching Tarantino talking about cinema. LOVE IT

I started to study literature with this videos, it is my first time to study English literature. Thanks for making this videos.

OMG I wish I'd seen this two weeks ago. A group assignment I was doing was arguing this very topic. Namely the issue of editor vs author vs reader. If an editor goes insane with editing an author's work, to the point where the authorial voice is totally lost, then is that Ok? Who is a work for? Does the reader's requirements override the author's requirements or the editors requirements?
BTW I don't entirely agree with Green's letter. The author has a point to make if you miss it then you miss something from them, even if you then gain something else. Missing that point doesn't mean it wasn't there and that the author didn't intend it.

He sleeps for 23 hours a day.

I'm still not gonna read your stuff, John Green. I know you're trying to trick me into reading. -_-

Who else is watching for e-learning???

Faulker beneath the stars is gold.

This is my way to succes,and i believe if we read more boks we Will find another reference from succesful people

2020?

PLEASE do "The Picture of Dorian Gray" i would love to see an analysis of it!

I think this is the best literature course because what can be better than a bestseller author teaching you a literature course

Bad vampire fiction🤣.. twilight immediately jumped to my mind
