ELEMENTS OF LITERATURE

EMOTIONAL APPEALINTELLECTUAL APPEALHUMANISTIC APPEAL

EMOTIONAL APPEALWhen the reader is emotionally move or touched by any literary work.

LOSTThe darkness surrounds me

It's getting so coldI'm all alone

With no one to hold

My world is so emptyAll what's left is pain

No sunshine to light my wayJust never ending rain

I drown in tearsMy heart is crying

No one seems to noticeMy soul is dying

She Doesn't Know I Love Her

Her beautiful eyes are nothing like oursThey're so deep and bright you'd believe they were

starsThey pour forth emotions in raging rivers

They could make even me believe that Santa always delivers

And still she has no idea

Her body is perfection though she denies itIt makes my head spin with every glance I give

She could put any man under her spellBut she doesn't know how I feel and I don't think I'll

tell

I love how she looks and who she isAnd how she makes me feel like thisI love how she's beautiful and smart with a heart so strongAnd how she lives every day like nothing could go wrongStill she hasn't got a clue

Now school is at an end on the 11th at noonI wonder if she cares that I'm moving soonWe're parting that day after schools many monthsI just wish I could have kissed her just once

Now that I've said it with my poetic skill I don't think she knew, and now she never will

Never Part When I saw you

in the hall,I knew you wouldbe the best of all.

I talked to you forthe very first time,you ended up beingmy partner in crime.

When you cry I'm going to cry too,

because the painis shared between me and you.

Since we're goinga different way,

don't be sad becausein my heart you will stay

Miles apartbut friends from the start,

I know in my heart we will never part.

Who Is The Rich Man? One day a wealthy father took his son on

a trip to the country so that the son could see how the poor lived. They spent a day and a night at the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "Very good, Dad!" "Did you see how poor people can be?" "Yeah!" "And what did you learn?" The son answered, "I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four.

The Obstacle in our Path In ancient times, a King had a boulder

placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the kirig's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road.

. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden; they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the house; they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard; they have the whole horizon." When the little boy was finished, the father was speechless. His son then added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are!"

PROPAGANDA LITERATURE Found not only in history books and advertising and marketing books also in some books describing one’s person and achievements in life.

PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTINUUM OF THE INDIVIDUAL – THERAPEUTIC VALUE This could be looked on as a sophisticated modern elaboration of the idea of CATHARSIS.

THERAPUTIC POEM :

Example # 1 Our love brought us both so much

comfort,           a picture of Christ and His Church, 

            a true love that  finally was severed               and I stand here alone in my hurt.    

    Oh why did you go off and leave me,              How will I ever go on? 

            You went with God's angels to heaven, 

            and left me to face life alone.           

I will leave my hurt to my Savior,               trust Him with the rest of my

life,             to comfort the pain of my sorrow,              and my soul cut in half with His

knife.            I will see you again my dear loved

one,               when I make my abode in the

sky,                where we'll praise and sing

songs to our Savior,                and nevermore ever will die.

   While I stay down here and grieve.        Yet I am constantly thankful for 

            The laughter and the joy,           For all we did together,             For the mischief you'd often employ.

        My joy for you overflows              That you're in heaven with God our maker,       

While I am slowly plodding on        To catch up with you later.

      My mind ponders the question..               What is death?   Did you face it without fear?

   In reality I only know     That you are just not here.          That's all, you are just not here.

Example # 2LIFE STEPS

Our entire life is made up of choices,What we decide, 

the action we take, the attitude we display

All represent the steps of life.Sometimes we take two steps forward

And one-step back.Some of us take baby stepsSome of us take giant steps

But the secret is not to let thatone step back turn into a failure.

Learn from backward stepsAnd keep on stepping forward in this

danceCalled Life!

Example # 3Allow Yourself To Fight 

There are some days you may feel,As if things just aren't going right.No amount of attempts to avoid,

You step into the big mud puddle despite! 

On these days to give up would be easy,You'd like to just walk away.

And sometimes taking a step back,May be exactly the right way.

But at a point you'll have to decide,If you're going to let them win.

This is the time that you'll look deep inside,

And see if you have it within.

When you are ready to take the next step,And show that you are ready to fight.

Avoid what you can and it's okay if you can't,

Cause know matter what, you'll be all right.

Example # 4

NO REGRETSThere is only one thing about which I shall have no

regrets when my life ends. I have savored to the full all the small, daily joys. 

The bright sunshine on the breakfast table; the smell of the air at dusk; 

the sound of the clock ticking; the light rains that start gently after midnight; 

the hour when the family come home; Sunday evening tea before the fire! 

I have never missed one moment of beauty, 

not ever taken it for granted. Spring, summer, autumn, or winter. 

I wish I had failed as little in other ways. 

Example # 5Count Your Blessings 

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;Count your gains instead of your losses.

Count your joys instead of your woes;Count your friends instead of your foes. 

Count your smiles instead of your tears;Count your courage instead of your fears.Count your full years instead of your lean;

Count your kind deeds instead of your mean. 

Count your health instead of your wealth;Love your neighbor as much as yourself. 

Example # 6Giving Our Best 

Every day that we are alive,We should be asking ourselves whether we,

Are we giving our best to each day,This is something we may not all see.

See each day we are given is a gift,And to waste it would be very wrong.

But our lives are just that,Ours to do with and hope our life's long.

But that's just it, our lives may not be long,

And come to an end before we are ready.Don't be that person, who regrets,

Live your life full and steady.

Close your eyes and go to sleep,Knowing you've conquer your day.You'll life will be very successful,

And you'll be happy to look back when you're gray.
