"An Educated Imagination" by Northrop Frye

You'll have to excuse me for posting this book (more a short collection of analytical essays) as my first book review, especially as I studied this one for my school. Unfortunately my computer won't let me put a subject title for some reason as well.

An educated imagination is a philosophical and social commentary answering the question "What good is the study of literature?". Although it's alot to digest in one sitting, it raises alot of interesting issues, the most importantly being "what would our world be like in the absence of literature?".

Although i would not recommend this as a light read, nor as something you (young readers) would enjoy, I hope you'll keep it in mind when you get to that point in life where you feel the need to study the question "Why?" constantly.

If you *do* pick up this book (hopefully you're at the higher end of the teenage years), pay attention to the titles- they create some vivid imagery.

I won't count this as a book review for volunteer hours because I just wanted to put the title out there, I really don't expect anyone to force themeselves to read or think at this level unless they are really looking for it (in which case, its important that you have a title to start with).

I'd allow this to be published, but I wouldn't recommend it. This book has very little to do with the common interests of a teenage person.

Promises of much more meaningful books soon,
