POPULAR



 "POPULAR LITERATURE"

        Popular literature, defined as literature intended for the masses and which fascinates large audiences because of the enjoyment it gives. It is written intended for entertainment, and also with the purpose of getting huge sales. Among all the categories, Popular literature is what I like the most. Why? Because in popular literature, with just holding a small book, I can travel and immerse myself into another place and culture, it can be read easily because the language used was not that complex, and it can entertain a lot of people who wants to have an escape to reality, and relate themselves into the character they are reading. Popular literature avoids complicated terminology in favor of simple, commonplace words. Originally literature was only accessible to well-educated individuals, but with the industrial revolution, it became available to everyone. Popular literature lasts a fairly short time, yet some of the most famous works of popular literature, such as the Harry Potter series, are of an eternal nature. Popular literature excites sensations or emotions, which pleases readers. It offers a direct, daily approach. Another fact I like in popular literature is that most of the books I have read in this category turn into great movies. I find it exciting whenever a book I have read turns into a film, especially when everything that happens in the book has also happened exactly in the movie adaptation.

Themes that are dealing with problems with society, familial problems, love stories, conflicts in love, teenage problems, can be all presented in emerging literature. Through this, modern readers may find stories that are relatable, mirrors a lot of current issues, and entertained us as well. As we are engaged in using our smartphones and digital devices, we are always looking for hobbi...

  Contemporary, Popular, and Emergent Literature Literature is a form of enjoyment that transcends time. Whether it is written within the category of Contemporary, Popular, or Emerging literature, their stories have differently given impact and lessons to people. To be honest, among all the books I have read, I think what would last long is the stories from the category of Popular Literature. Personally, because their stories really gave an impactful message, unique plots, real-life lessons, and amazing characters to a huge number of people. They gave justice to what entertainment literature really has. To cite an example of what I have read as popular books there is Bob Ong's ABNKKBBSNPLAKo in Philippine literature, and Five Feet Apart by Daughtry and Ioconis. They were suited for everyone, and not just those educated people who can afford to buy it and understood the language used. However, I find emerging literature as ephemeral stories because it is only suited for modern reade...
