Tora Sellers Assignment 4

A person will never stop consuming art in one form or another for as long as they live. A deeper understanding of TV shows, movies, music, and visual art, stems from and understanding of literature. A liberal arts education, especially in literature allows students to know that novels and poems aren't just a story. A well written novel or poem is layered with symbolism and metaphor to convey a greater meaning than the plot alone. Students with a liberal arts background will have the ability to not simply take things at face value. Not only do they know how to interpret literature and art, but they will also know how politics and advertising affects them. Although finding a job on just a liberal arts degree more than likely will prove to be near-impossible, at least a liberal arts student knows not to be tricked out of their money!
