Wallace's theory of education and Alice Munro

This is water by David foster is an essay that he had developed to discuss the ideal of achieving ultimate freedom through education, as throughout the entire essay he talks about that ideology through different perspectives and lenses as he believes that there should be a balance in between what you choose and how do you choose it.  As it could be noted that the author favours literary fiction over popular fiction through the points that he mentions while I was reading his creative essay, he stated that throughout reading literary fiction imagination could step in in order for the reader to fill in detail about the characters to make the readers visualize the character in a different scene or scope rather that it being just there. As emotional intelligence is a concept that is easily interpreted by just a few words, as it tends to have a broader view that tends to link with literature to enhance it. As according to David foster reading literary fiction helps you develop a more creative, powerful mind. As at the begging of his essay his tends to describe the man a s the center of the universe and him being the center of the world as everything revolves around him although I don’t agree with that concept as there tends to be a others influencing and impacting your decisions. Moreover the author tends to develop another argument about listening to yourself rather than other by doing whatever you tend to desire no matter what society thinks or preaches you as. He mentions throughout his essay the concept of “teaching you how to think” is actually shorthand for a much deeper, more serious idea: “Learning how to think” really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience. This concept tends to show the importance of how something’s tends to evolve over time and how that you shouldn’t disregard your thoughts and opinions for someone else’s thoughts. In my opinion I do believe that emotional intelligence has a bond with literature, as in “this is water” we had the opportunity to discover the impact of literary fiction n the individuals life and how it makes him develop a larger sense of realizing and looking at things in a different perspective. By looking at Alice Munro and Wallace's theory it could be stated that her work of fiction has lead the reader to continue on and reflect upon ideas. As by examining her characters we are granted access to know how to deal with certain implication because by examining a situation you could think about your actions.
